------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS THE OFFICIAL SIGN UP + CHAT THREAD on the event:
------------------------------------------------------------------
OFFICIAL Dates:- Monday June 4, 2012 - Sunday June 10, 2012
This thread will be reserved for info and convention talk. The convention is open to all
ALL RIDERS and ALL kinds of motorcycles. Our small convention has grown over the years but we do ask that if you sign up for the convention that you sign up as a member of the R1-forum.com or R6-forum.com!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Optional Accommodations:- Convention T-shirts - $22 each.
- Nightly meals - Each year we have the option of having meals delivered each night. This information and costs will be announced soon.
Paypal Funds shall be sent to DanQ at DanQ@SoFastSoClean.com. If you have any questions Dan or myself can answer them anytime. Make sure you include your complete info when signing up (full real names + screen names of people attending and that you clearly identify that the funds are for the convention deals gap trip).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the details to date:
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 GapLodging: Nanthala Village

LODGING: We do get discount rates,
but you MUST tell Nantahala Village you are with the Yamaha R1 Forum Group to get the discount rates and so that they put you with us. When calling I suggest that you speak with Jessi (she will be who you talk to about problems or just let DanQ know). Their phone number is 1-800-438-1507. Make your reservations early. IT WILL FILL UP!!! In the event that the resort fills up there is camping and lodging nearby. Booking early ensures you are with the group at Nantahala
------------------------------------------------------------------
/ Some information about the move to this new resort - Location is 23 miles from our old resort (Fontana Village). You pull out of Nantahala (go left) - .3 miles and take a left onto HWY 28 then onto Fontana in 22 miles. This just adds 22 miles of scenic roads to get to the gap.
Reasons for the change in location are to move to a resort that is more in tune to some of our needs. The location is 2 miles from the Nantahala Outdoor Center (the largest rafting area in the state!). Bryson City is just 5 miles up the road and there quite a bit more "family friendly" activities making this place more accessible for attendees to bring family members (and have a good time).
Included with our stay is a mountain view gathering deck that is pretty nice and a HUGE covered pavilion area that we can fit a couple hundred people under if needed. There is micro breweries close, white water rafting, zip lines, jet boating, plenty of places to eat close bye, horseback riding, spa... etc... This is going to be an AWESOME year! - Shane

------------------------------------------------------------------
Look at their website and inquire with them, by phone, to make your choice. 1-800-438-1507. I would suggest making reservations as early as you can, everywhere fills up that time of year up there.
They have blocked off a large amount of cabins and lodge rooms for us. So start making reservations as soon as you can.
After February 28th, 2012 they will be released to the general public and WILL sell out. SO GET YOUR RESERVATIONS MADE ASAP!!! You can hold your room by calling now and booking the dates and a down payment (usually one night).

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.
Nantahala also has campsites available if you want to camp.
------------------------------------------------------------------
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 1st, 2012 for all funds!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------
T-SHIRTS: PRE ORDER ONLY!! The shirt cost of $22 is included in the price above. If you don't want a shirt you aren't required to purchase one. But as stated above, they are pre order only, and we only buy a limited amount of extras. The design is never repeated.
