Dinners will still be Monday-Friday and each year Yamaha usually sponsors Dinner on Saturday. If you can't come the whole week at least try and get there by Wed or Thursday. The whole area is unbelievable during the week when things aren't as crowded.
Place: Deal's Gap
Info about the Gap: www.dealsgap.com (http://www.dealsgap.com) / www.tailofthedragon.com (http://www.tailofthedragon.com/)
Lodging: Fontana Village
Website: www.fontanavillage.com (http://www.fontanavillage.com/)
Link to Convention Transportation Thread (http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=274908). Have space in your vehicle, or looking to split the ride with someone, click here (http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=274908).
LODGING: We do get discount rates, but you MUST tell Fontana Village you are with the Yamaha R1 Forum Group to get the discount rates and so that they put you with us. If there are any problems ask to speak with Debbie or just let me know. Their phone number is 1-800-849-2258. Make your reservations early. IT WILL FILL UP!!! It would really suck to not be able to get a cabin at Fontana:yesnod
Look at their website and inquire with them, by phone, to make your choice. 1-800-849-2258. I would suggest making reservations as early as you can, everywhere fills up that time of year up there.
They have blocked off 22 cabins and 10 lodge rooms for us. So start making reservations as soon as you can. After March 1st, 2011 they will be released to the general public and WILL sell out. SO GET YOUR RESERVATIONS MADE ASAP!!!
For the guys coming up as singles I would suggest getting together with other folks on the Forum and splitting the cost of a small or large cabin. There are gonna be several cabins available.
Fontana also has campsites available if you want to camp. They are approximately a mile down the road.
Everyone is welcome - but please realize that this group is made up with many types of riders of different skill levels and desires. This is not about getting together to race, or to drag other people into riding above their limits! Everyone is expected to ride at their own pace and have a good time!
REMEMBER: Deadline is April 30th, 2011 for all funds!!!
Alcoholic beverages: BYOB
T-SHIRTS: PRE ORDER ONLY!! The shirt cost of $20 is included in the price above. If you don't want a shirt you aren't required to purchase one.
PHOTOGRAPHY: We will have a professional photographer in attendance.
PRIZES: Of course we will have prizes like each year. These will be given out at the Yamaha dinner on Saturday night. You HAVE to be a member of the R1 Forum or R6 Forum and also on the definates list to be eligible for the Prize drawing.
We have some killer prizes every year so you need to make sure I put you on the definates list if you are coming. No maybes, WE said definates...please remember that.
Everyone can sign up by replying to this thread or sending a PM to myself or DanQ and we will put you on the list.
EMERGENCY CONTACT INFO: Everyone must fill out the sheet upon check-in at the reservation desk of the Fontana Lodge.
Here are some of the events that will be held during the week.
Monday-Friday
6:30 PM will be dinner on Stonehenge (cabin and fire pit area at Fontana).
Cross Roads Lunch (usually everyone meets at the CROT for lunches daily)
Saturday
1 pm Annual Ride to Overlook
6:30 pm is the Big Yamaha Sponsored dinner. The prize giveaway will be during this also. .
Most everything is discussed and planned out in the evenings around dinner and hanging out. If you want to get up a ride or find out where people are going the next day come up to Shuckstack Road and hang out. If you get to Fontana during the day just head to the CROT and you will find someone from the forum.
[/LIST]
Please contact myself or DanQ, to be put on the definite list:
You don't have to be on the definites list to be eligible for prizes, but you MUST BE PRESENT! There will be someone taking sign up entries for prizes on site during the dinner Saturday!

Wednesday Group Ride to Yamaha / Luncheon
This year we aren't visiting a dealership. Myself and Chuck Graves will be leading a ride along with Team Zyvax racing owner JB Layman from the gap through the Elijay mountains then a quick trip down 575 to Kennesaw, Georgia where Yamaha's eastern distribution center is. Wednesday June 15, please meet the group riders at the HELLBENDER store located directly at the entrance at Fontana Village (www.fontanavillage.com) at 7am. If you would like to have breakfast before the ride you can be at the deals gap store ( www.dealsgap.com ) at 7am where some of us will be eating breakfast before the ride. at around 8:15 am the two groups will meet together at the Deals Gap Resort to head out on the ride.
We will be given a lunch courtesy of Yamaha USA and a tour of the facility and they are arranging prizes as well!
This is a huge deal and doesn't happen often. I'd like EVERYONE to head over with us. It works out to be a 2.5 hour ride if I remember we'll stop in the middle.

I've always wanted to see England!!!!
:crash
SpidermanSS 09-20-2010, 07:34 AM As a side note: Some of the bigger changes are we have moved to the "Stonehenge" area for the center point. The stack was getting a little run down and the new area will allow for nightly bon fires and a better atmosphere!
GIJoe007 09-20-2010, 07:54 AM I'm already looking forward to this! Hopefully my ass can make more than a two day appearance! :jump

The amount of cabins is in the first post and pricing depends on what you get, when you mention the group you get discounted rates.

Unless they got another one, Fontana sold their house boat last year. :saw:
Super_Dave_344 09-21-2010, 04:07 PM damn i didnt hear that & wasnt able to make it this year :( now what activities are we planning?
Ls1_se7en 09-21-2010, 04:16 PM Greg just brought his dj stuff to shuckstack. Worked out pretty good. And most likely will work out better this year since we'll have more time to plan. Fontana sold their house boat just a few days before we were supposed to have the party. Or at least they didn't tell anyone until a few days before.
Super_Dave_344 09-21-2010, 04:32 PM ok thats cool greg did a great job DJing 2 yrs ago on the boat that that sounds great. Does anyone play corn hole (no impure thought here lol)?? if so we could possibly have a tourny or horse shoes ect then as well.
Id vote for a possible beer pong tourny one night if anyone is up for that sort of fun lol
Punchy351 09-21-2010, 05:19 PM You know Ill be there.
Do we need to reserve the party cabin this year again? Let me know so I can call it in and request that.
I dont think a non-biker family that would get stuck with that would enjoy it too much.
ill be sure to bring the tard--it can be the fontana b!tch again...everyone can ride her except for Logan :fact

Never heard of it... but I do play polish horseshoes. :yesnod
Super_Dave_344 09-23-2010, 02:30 PM probably the same type game. its a 2' x 4' board on an incline with a 6 inch hole in it that you toss corn filled bags onto/into. its theres 4 bags per person/team & you try to get them in the hole. in the hole is 3 points...on the board is 1 point & the other person/team can cancel out your points just like in horse shoes. you play to 21. here are my boards i made. its alot of fun & similar to horse shoes...washer toss...ect. its big at cook outs..parties... tail gating blah blah blah

that was a pretty nice area...good job on the location for dinners and hanging out

That would be a rough trip. Might want to see if anyone is coming down that has trailer space. We have folks attending from all over the country, and even other countries.
Skeeter 10-01-2010, 06:18 PM Agreed. Coming down is not a problem, but heading back home probably would be. Your asking a lot from your body. You'll be putting many hours on your bike in an not very comfortable position. Plus, riding hard when at the Gap. We should have several riders coming from the upper East Coast. Maybe you can trailer down or back up with one of them.

I've taken r1's across the country. Ny to NC is no big deal at all. Trailering my bike there would take away from the adventure.

Yamarule 10-01-2010, 07:35 PM I'm in Toronto and rode to Myrtle Beach, S.C. in 2006. 1000 miles each way, plus the riding there. two days there, 5 days in the warm August Atlantic (needed that to soothe the bones), then two days back. total of about 3000 miles. Was doable, but tires were square pretty quick. Always said I'd trailer it down, and save my tires for the gap if/when I get there.
going to get a group of toronto boys down there. hope to have room on the trailers too. will update the pool page if anyone is in need around western NY, Penn. way.

True. I'll see when the time gets closer. My only worry is riding hard at the Gap and crashing. Then I would be F'ed. If it comes down to it I also have a 4 bike trailer.

Hey guys, all this talk of 3000 mile trailer trips and square tires makes my back sore just reading it. Why dont you save your selves the trouble and just fly in and rent? Sportbikes4hire.com will most likely be a sponsor at the event again next year.
I have figured out that between gas, tires, ware and tear, time off work.......bla bla bla....if you have to travel over 700 miles to get here, renting is cheaper.
Yes its a shameless plug but these new guys need options. Im all for removing some excuses and getting more people here for 2011! :fact
Heck I will pick you all up at McGhee Tyson airport in Knoxville, you will be draggin knees on the Dragon less than an hour from touch down!

Well you can always just wear your leathers on the flight which makes going through security fun, or just use some of mine.

Same here bro, for future planning regarding flights. Would Washington or Atlanta be the best entry point, and the take a connect flight to Knoxville ?
I'll get the rental prices later, just want an idea on the flights and enquire about visa requirements so long to get an estimate.
Will probably start up a thread later to get all the info, gear I can fly up accomodation will be no problem.
Gawd I need to do this :fact

Had Atlanta in the back of my mind, just wasn't sure if it's international. Will look into the flights so long, works got me by the ballz for now but I might make June and I'll probably hop over from dakar, which is closer.
2011 is a 50% for now 2012 I'll kill to get there. Need to do a bit of homework first, South african passports are not the easiest to get visa's everywhere. If I have proof of accomodation, a two way ticket and possibly a letter of invatation it should be good.
Thanks for all your guys support, this is truly a brotherhood :fact :bow

Nahhh. As I was telling Dan... We had a blowout on I-81 just north of Roanoke on the way home this year. Nailbiter pretty much hated traveling in the RV (a.k.a. Scary Rolling Death Machine) anyway. She loved staying in it but not riding in it, so after sitting for an hour and a half two feet from 80mph big rigs while changing the tire, well... You get the idea.
Traded in the RV, the SRT-8 and a Jeep on a new diesel Ram.

Thanks Beav, will hit you up a pm tomorrow (can't access now)
I'll need to get a few prices on flights, but so far it seems cheapest is to Washington, if I book a connect flight the price almost doubles. But no problem. I think best would be to get to Washington and then use one of your cheaper local flights to Hop to Tennessee or Charlotte.
There might be a chance to get my flights sponsored, timeline is at this stage unknown, work sucks :fact :lol

So who's going to ride the CherryCola Skyway with me?! I only got to ride about half of it this year because as we were going down the road, mile by mile, we noticed a green and blue dark cloud of horror ahead of us and decided to turn back before we got caught in it. In effect...I only got to ride about half of it! I wanna ride the whole thing! :jump
Skeeter 10-21-2010, 03:24 PM Joe, your more than welcome to hang with us. Me, Kevap, Manowar and Beaverpuncher will probably hit it up early in the week when it's not busy.

Super_Dave_344 10-21-2010, 06:05 PM ill ride it with ya! had a blast ridding it with skeeters group 2 years ago & we gotta hit the robinsville "loop" several times both ways cause to me thats some ofthe best flowing road ive been on.

Our best time to ride and I don't. :lol Parked and covered the bike in the garage when I got home from the Convention the first week in June. Haven't been on it since then. I have started it up a few times. I really need take it for a blast around the lake. Dave, looking forward to doing the Robbinsville Loop too. Gotta get my Frosty at Wendy's!!! :sneaky
Kevap 10-22-2010, 05:14 PM looking forward to doing the Robbinsville Loop too. Gotta get my Frosty at Wendy's!!! :sneaky
Oh heck ya! Right there with you!!! :jump
Super_Dave_344 10-22-2010, 06:57 PM we'll definatly do a "frosty" run lol sounds fun right now
Kevap 11-04-2010, 10:33 AM Mmmmmmm...... Frosty! :jump
SpidermanSS 11-04-2010, 10:45 AM I went a few weeks ago and stopped off at the McD's convenience store in Robbinsville on the way home to pay respect to Chad's picture from killboy.... :fact
I'm going to drive out there this winter for a weekend or something after my boss gets back to work in December. :epimp
r1Totzauer 11-04-2010, 12:30 PM True. I'll see when the time gets closer. My only worry is riding hard at the Gap and crashing. Then I would be F'ed. If it comes down to it I also have a 4 bike trailer.
...i would advise a trailor...so that way when u get there u will enjoy riding w/o ur butt hurting from ur travel...the 1st time i went i rode the R1, didnt ride as hardas i would have liked to, the second time i trailored and pushed my limits alil. Made the trip so much more worth it....

The first post contains all the information about shirts etc. They are $20 each, and you can pay via paypal, check, or money order. PM me for any other details on the shirts.
If you can you may want to get there earlier than Friday. There are so many good roads out there it would be impossible to see most of them in 2 days. Plus on Saturday we have lunch, and a group ride/photo, then the sponsored dinner, so Saturday is a pretty full day.

Sounds great! Let us know. The more the merrier. All bikes are welcome. :fact

Super_Dave_344 12-24-2010, 01:09 PM hey scott.....are you gonna make it this year to the convention?
clepire 01-05-2011, 12:09 AM How much do the cabins cost?
How much do the cabins cost?
The rates depend on what you are looking to rent. They have lodge rooms of different types, and cabins from 2 - 4 BR, with different accommodations. Best to call 1-800-849-2258 and ask for Group Sales. Please specify that you are contacting them about the Yamaha Convention (R1/R6-Forums) in order to get our rate as well as be included in our count. They will give you the rates available for what you need.
Super_Dave_344 01-05-2011, 12:57 PM well said dan....almost sounds like youve done that before haha. you do a great job as well as everyone involved in making these conventions run as smoothly as they do.
DarrinR1 01-23-2011, 06:26 AM Put me on the list , may not be able to make it until mid week, so I will not go for the food option ..Thanks DarrinR1 ( DTrain )

The dinners go by the day, so if you change your mind you would just need to pay for the days that you are present. Makes it easier at the end of the day to just get off the bike, take off your helmet and have a meal.
DarrinR1 01-23-2011, 10:52 AM oh ok , that sounds great , do I need to pay for the meals upfront? or can I pay the day I get there and for the days forward ??
oh ok , that sounds great , do I need to pay for the meals upfront? or can I pay the day I get there and for the days forward ??
The monies are due prior to the even because we have to make deposits and all. But PM me when you know what your planse will be and we'll work something out. :thumbup

I'm awaiting a call back from Marie in Group Sales. She handles our lodging contract.
Zenski1 01-24-2011, 11:42 AM Thanks Dan
Thanks Dan
No worries. Just got off the phone with her. Call and specify you are with the Yamaha R1-R6 Convention 2011. If they have any questions, ask for Marie.
Zenski1 01-24-2011, 12:31 PM Thanks Dan, I'm in.
Also I'm not coming in until Wednesday morning. Can I get in on the food just for three nights?
Andy

Yes sir. You only pay for the days you'll be attending.
Zenski1 01-25-2011, 06:56 AM Dan, can you get me a cost for three meals plus the shirt ($23.00/meal + $20 = $89).
Also can I send you a check or do you prefer Paypal?
Thanks
Andy
SpidermanSS 01-25-2011, 07:01 AM Welcome! It's getting close :fact
Zenski1 01-25-2011, 07:06 AM Thanks
I just installed the velocity stacks and I'm in the middle of doing the smog block off plates. Already made the appointment to get it tuned on the Dyno.
Now all we need is for winter to get over!

That's correct, and the appropriate Paypal fees if paying by Paypal (preferred). If you need to send a check/money order PM me for my mailing address.
Thanks

Nice combo. The velocity stacks do a great job, and the smog plates in addition to taking care of the deceleration pop make it SO much easier to install new spark plugs.
Zenski1 01-25-2011, 07:59 AM That's great, I put new plugs in last year and it was a pain.
I also knocked out the cat, put the race baffles in the stock cans and a power commander. I'm hoping with the tune I will get some more ponies out of it.
Zenski1 01-25-2011, 08:00 AM Dan, I will send you the money via Paypal shortly.

Awesome work! Even a bone stock bike can benefit from a custom tune, so I'm sure you'll be happy with your results.
Dan, I will send you the money via Paypal shortly.
No problemo. You'll get an email from me shortly afterward :thumbup
GIJoe007 01-25-2011, 02:48 PM Ack...seems I've made a slight miscalculation with regards to my vacation time at work. I used seven days of vaca just now for my wedding and honeymoon...so it looks like I'll have to make a late showing around Wednesday timeframe.
Booo...but hey, I got married and I got to go on a big boat for a week! Cruises ROCK!
Super_Dave_344 01-25-2011, 04:09 PM congrats on the wedding.....sucks you wont make it for the whole week but i guess a few days is beter than not at all. I guess youll have 3 extra days worth of drinking to do while your there...... just let the Mix Master know you were added to the "newb list" & he'll take care of it from there lol

Yeah, I'll still be making a definite appearance, but it just won't be for the whole week. I'm hoping I'll be able to make it up there sometime Tuesday night or earlier Wednesday...so as to still get some riding in the middle of the week! :)
Super_Dave_344 02-01-2011, 06:56 PM thats cool youll still have plenty of time to get some good ridding in.
