Next Gap trip

Hey fellas we need to get a Gap trip up. We have not had a good somewhat organized one since the convention. I remember last year doing several. So let's think about when we can do one. I think Eric said a while back he might be going the last weekend of August. Let's hear some dates and ideas of where to stay. Some options: Phillips Motel Fontana Village The Ridge and Treetops Cabins www.thetreetops.com Possibly even Maryville (although I don't know much about things there) So, let's hear some input. Chad

BTW, I have stayed at all of the places except Maryville. All are good spots. Treetops cabin is really cool. It has 7 beds and the Ridge not sure about. BUt the website says it can sleep 18 between the two. And if we call Ron and Nancy I am quite confident they will give us a discount rate. Just an idea.

I went 2 weeks ago and stayed in Maryville. Maryville has: 1) only 30 minute drive to the dragon, and rt 129 goes into town 2) I stayed in a Fairfield Inn (Marriot hotel) and it was very comfy 3) the best restuarants like HOOTERS, TGIF, TEXAS STEAKHOUSE, APPLEBEES, etc 4) bars and clubs with the cuteist southern girls you ever saw who you can get loaded with and stay out till after 3 am 5) lots of stores for your every need. why stay in the woods when you dont have to?

I will be there that weekend as well. I will be staying with the owners of 129 Motorcycle Pitstop in Maryville. I should be there Friday and staying thru Sunday. Chad, the R6Messagenet has booked the Treetops as of yesterday or so I was told. The best part of staying in the Maryville area is the food and since my body was built with quite a few T-bones, I am sure the steakhouse will know my AMEX number by heart after Sunday!

Its my first time down there any advise on anything Yeah, take it easy until you get a feel for the roads. And ALWAYS leave room for error and don't ride above you limits or comfort level. Not very forgiving run offs. It is a great place to ride. Beautiful place. check out www.tailofthedragon.com for the latest updates and great routes. And have fun!!

Kevin info@mrcycles.com Great idea Kevin. Then we can all stay at your place everytime :D . I am sure the land up there is pretty cheap too. Especially off the beaten path. You could put up and Official R1 Forum.com Double wide:D

I am sure Uncle Ned will take care of the place, we just need to get him a shotgun and a rocker on the porch....... Kevin info@mrcycles

the miami crew is intrested in a gap ride soon.

Hey guys, I will be at the Fontana Inn, Franklin from August 11-15th for a Supermagna meet. Will be on the one, so if ya wanna come over join in on some rides and late night drinking feel free to come on down. Great bunch of riders and people are always happy to see the Supermagnas which if i remember correctly became collectible last year. Like I said i will be bringing the one gonna let the super sit this ride out especially since i have heard so much of the dragon on this forum. All are welcome later Bic

Sounds like we need to come up with a good weekend date. Any ideas? September is a good time for the Gap. To try and get something by the end of august may be a little tough if we are looking at a good crowd. But I am open for whatever.

I would like the weekend of the 10th cause it would be like a birthday celebration for me. also everyone is required to bring one single girl for me.

Hooters !?:)

I'm coming down on August 26th - 29th. Staying in Maryville at the Hampton Inn. Lets set up a time to meet!

I say the last weekend of August or sometime on September...after Labor day.

Just a curious question here, there are 4 of us coming up from SC on Oct 2nd weekend, are the leaves bad by then or is it still safe then? We figured it would be nice and cool out by then, maybe chilly during the night but good riding temps in the day.

I am ready ! I can go the last weekend in August or either of the first 2 weekends in September . I will go where the crowd goes so lets make a plan !?:fork

There are a few guys going september 13th-19th. It's a little soon for me to say for sure, but I MIGHT be going then.

Yea i think Scott and some of the Penn. guys are going , I will be trying to go , just have to see how money and work is !?

So it looks like either the end of August or the 3rd weekend of sept. Or both!!!:D BTW, Zrider is planning on going this weekend for any interested. And he is also up for a trip later this month or Sept also. I may shoot for the end of this month, and then play September by ear. We'll see.

September will be out for me. I will be on a cruise with my TOO cute for me wife:D. We could always do a run in October..... Kevin info@mrcycles.com

Let's plan August 27-29 and stay at Maryville. Clubd heh.......C'mere girll...Uncle Ned's gat a dollah fo ya :boobies I think I need Shane to help me and show me how it's really done! If we buy a double wide I'll landscape it. If you buy me a Jeb Clampett hat to go with my rocker and shotgun, I'll guard it too.

I already told them I would need the dates off, and they said no problem!!!!:rock The only problem is.......I'm gonna be selling Honda cbr's :(

I gotta work the last weekend in August but I'll be off the 14-15 weekend. I'm with you Chad, it has been too long since we had an R1 gap trip. I was gonna go this weekend but decided not too. Eddie

J/K, bro. I'm very happy for you. I hope things will work out ok.

OK guys, I'm too lazy to look back thru this thread. What dates are y'all talking about going back up to the GAP? Eddie ps. I just saw myself on the front page of tailofthedragon.com. Thanks to Killboy! I got lucky I guess!

OK, thanks Chad.:hellobye That's the one I'm planning on. I might bring Robyn with me but she won't ride with us during the day when we are "ripping". I hope the weather cooperates. Eddie

Okay, question time. where is everyone planning on meeting on friday morning? or is there a plan for that? I live in west knox, so don't have the need to stay at a motel, but would like to join in and meet everyone. Thanks
