TimC Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 At this point I'm definitely planning to attend, but like last year coaching youth baseball might get in the way. I hope not tho, 'cause I've been looking forward to TMac 2010 for months already. Not just the riding, but also hanging out with all my VFRD pals after the rides. OK, I signed up and booked a room. See you there! Cool! So which bike are you riding down? :ph34r: I know it's a VFRD event but I'm half-expecting to see you on the NT. I call tell that a lot of my time will be spent purging this thread! Including post #40? :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going down there at least once prior to Tmac and will bring the NT then. After I've done the trek once on the NT, then I will decide which I prefer for Tmac.

soichiro Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I hope to make it, I need the vacation. I cant stress enough! If you have any question about whether your tires are safe or if they will last the entire trip, then just replace. The bike rides, handles, stops, much better with new tires. If you have to dont eat or feed your kids to pay for them, hehe. As stated, come prepared. We could have all sunshine and 60-70 degrees or it could rain and be in the thirties. You never know what you will get in the spring in these mountains. You could see sun in one valley and rain on a peak. We have been blessed with rideable whether so this year should be just fine. It's my signiature. "RUBBER IS CHEAPER THAN PLASTER" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshake Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Unfortunately, I can't be there for the "official" dates. However, if anyone is planning on being there prior to the official gathering I'd love to join you. How about it Canadiens, are you coming for a week again?

Member Contributer whitelightning Posted February 18, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted February 18, 2010 Sorry to hear you won't be coming Bill. It was good to get to meet you at the fall meet. Vicki and I are booked, in fact I think I'm staying pretty close to where I was at the fall meet. We're looking forward to good times, good rides, and good people.

This is the DGMR when it was Craftons Motel and Restaurant Two Lane Blacktop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBFPndPorYc&feature=related Great catch, I saw that movie way back when and before I even knew of the area. Pretty cool, they stop at the what's now the Deals Gap store & motel(Crossroads of Time). They mix up the footage some having the the Chev come in from the dam side below the store where they do pass the lower dam on 129 at 1:14, but they whip a U-turn on the TN side of 129 along the lake at 3:45 which would head them back to Knoxville not the gap store. Looks like their on 28 South of the Gap when the Chev passes the truck at :58. I didn't recognize the the pullout they show just before the GTO pulls into the lot at the ESSO in from the Dragon, but it looked like the Cherohala Skyway to me. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Ranger77 Posted March 27, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hey guys. I live in west Texas (around 1250 miles) and I'm considering making the trip. Just considering. I'd have to see if I can get at least 5 or so days off just to get there, ride, then make it back. I would have to ride the whole way as I do not have a trailer or even a vehicle I'd trust to haul a trailer that far. I guess for now I would just like to know who all from Texas is making the trip? Riding or trailer, just someone or a group of people I can tag along with. Of course the biggest worry is something happening to my bike and me being stranded or not getting back home. This would be the longest trip I'd be taking by myself, so I am nervous and excited. If thirdgen can ride from his place to arizona and back on his F4i then I know I can on a vfr with a sargant seat and throttlemeister. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
