Leader 09-20-2010, 10:33 AM In...
SpidermanSS 09-20-2010, 10:33 AM This year we are moving the center of the event to a newer section of Fontana Village. They call it Stonehenge due to the stone structures and fire pit layout. Should be a lot nicer at night for the gatherings..
Leader 09-20-2010, 10:36 AM Yea, it looked like a nice area last year...we taking the cabins over there as well or still grabbing the shuckstack ones?
SpidermanSS 09-20-2010, 10:42 AM Over there... Dan will be allocating the cabins as close as possible. Get everyone signed up and spread the word and in a few weeks we can look at placements... We have it worked out pretty good now though.

Yea, it looked like a nice area last year...we taking the cabins over there as well or still grabbing the shuckstack ones?
Like Shane said, we've been looking at equivalent cabins in the nearby area. While Shuckstack has been nearly traditional for us, even with a smaller crowd it was getting congested up there. Plus the cabins are due for (and Fontana is following through) renovations up there.
Myself, Shane and Lacey from Fontana worked on this for a while, and we think it will be for the better.
And for the rest of the big news...... :secret:
..... you'll see in June :sneaky Bring friends... it will be epic :fact

Sorry Kevin. I couldn't help it. Well, it looks like we all ready have 5 for the cabin. Are we going to get a three bedroom and try to get a few more people or settle with 5 in a smaller cabin? Just trying to keep the costs down if we can't find anyone else, but then again, we have plenty of time.
Skeeter 09-21-2010, 03:36 PM Actually, I'm kind of looking forward to a relocation. Shuckstack is a major PIA to park and turn around vehicles. I think Stonehenge will offer flatter ground with more and easier access in and out. Plus, the bonfire at night sounds really cool...

Nah, I like Ducs. I am just not a v-twin fan. 4-cyl screamers are my fav. though the cross-plane of the 09-10's is not too bad either.
Super_Dave_344 10-05-2010, 01:11 PM yeah the cross plane is a nice mix of both worlds but im an inline fan as well. I hate the dry clutch noise more than anything....sounds like its ready to fall apart lol

Just a bit muffin-top looking :lol

Is there any dirt ridding rides planned for this year? I was asking this on the R6 site but not much responce. Id love to get some good trail ridding in if theres anything close.
Also need to know if theres a big ride planned yet for Blood Mt. & if not we need to plan something if anyone wants to go.Im gonna make the ride there this year no matter what so if anyone wants to get a ride planned lets set it up.
freeze1305 02-05-2011, 10:07 PM So me and my neighbor are coming to the gap for the whole week this year for sure but we are both college kids with limited disposable income and so we've come to the conclusion that the only way were gonna get in a cabin around all the other forum members is if someone is willing to split the cost with us....we have never been to the gap so we dont know how cramped these things are but honestly were okay with shacking up like a bunch of hippies(We got air mattresses to sleep on and thats a perfectly fine sleep arrangement for us.) PM me if you or someone you know can work this out with us, if not were gonna be making a custom shack in the back of a pickup lol....(but seriously we'll do it if thats what it takes)
Super_Dave_344 02-06-2011, 12:46 PM glad to here you guys are comming & dont worry someone will have room for sure...they always do. If there isnt a topic on this yet i know there will be as we get alittle closer to let people know of other people in your same situation needing a place to stay or others looking for people to hook up with & split costs.

OK folks. It's getting to crunch time. A few reminders:
Be sure to specify you are with our group when you call Fontana. In addition to getting our rates, it lets them know how many people we have coming. This is important for Shane and I to negotiate with them. Please don't forget.
When you send food/shirt money, please specify days of attendance (if not the full week) and shirt sizes in the PayPal notes. I will email each person back as confirmation. Double check: we all make mistakes. What I put on the spreadsheet is what we'll order, and we don't want to run short on sizes.
I will update the lists on both Forums after I have verified the info on the spreadsheet and confirmed with each person. This will often be much later the day you pay, or even the next day. Please be patient. The spreadsheet is what counts; I will catch the thread up.
In the event that Saturdays attendance exceeds 100 people, the first 100 to pay will be the ones covered by the sponsors payment. The moral of that story is please don't try to be the last person to pay. This is, of course subject to change as Shane and I work out ways to cover more than 100 people for the Saturday meal.
Any questions, please let us know.

I will ask for a 1 night, non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot. I hate to do this, but I have had people back out last minute and left me hosed.

Anybody going through Raleigh NC, Louisville KY, Nashville TN on Sunday or Saturday? Dinner's on me along with chipping in for gas.
Beaver's schedule is still up in the air so didn't want to burden him with my problems.

Furtunately MOST of our incidents were people who could not control their bikes in a STRAIGHT LINE, Right Roo? :sing:
I think DanQ and Crimson were the only two that crashed negotiating a curve.
Hey to clarify I did not "wreck" my bike, I simply took it off-roading and scratched it up some...lol Well I also did a cool front flip over the handlebars and scratched up my pretty leathers too...:hammer:
Dan if you've got space I'd be much obliged.
I can handle you and your luggage. Gonna talk to Frank about using the enclosed trailer.
Actually, if you want a vehicle, I can arrange to get my Explorer to RDU and it's yours for the week. Whatever you need brotha.

That's a good excuse really.
Roo pimps himself out in SanFran around Market Street and Powell Street. Sometimes in the Yerba Buena Gardens. Maybe aroung the Clay Street and Kearny Street areas. He has lots of extra cash.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The cutoff for food and shirt funds is rapidly approaching (April 23d). If you haven't paid for you food and shirts, please do so as soon as the opportunity arises. If you pay after Thursday, 21 April, there will probably be a delay in getting a response as I'll be at CMP this weekend.
After I record your payment you will receive an e-mail confirming what you've paid for, and/or asking for money if necessary (please don't forget the PayPal fees). After I record your payment, shirt sizes, days for meals etc, I will change the list to reflect paid. So don't be too concerned if it takes a day or two. The email response is the important part.
Also, if your plans have changed and you'll be unable to join us, please post in the thread, or send me a PM. Shane and I need to start getting the numbers straight for planning.
Thanks!

SpidermanSS 05-11-2011, 08:42 AM Heads up everyone... The Wednesday group ride has evolved! BIG TIME. 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.
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.
Signs ups will update on the main page of the sign up thread.
