Member Contributer VFRBulldawg Posted March 10, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 10, 2011 Alright I'm in! I just signed up and reserved a double bed room from Wednesday though Sunday!

Member Contributer NorthernVFRDave Posted March 23, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted March 23, 2011 Just tracked down my PayPal info and signed up Funny I'm booking a ride before I even put 10km on the bike this year. Rode the sled all winter and was at the gym 5 to 7 times a week this winter, down almost 25lbs from last fall, so hopefully I'm good to ride as soon as the weather becomes spring like, -6°c out right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer gradus Posted April 22, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted April 22, 2011 Bailey, I'm at the Franklin Motel talking to the owner, Ron Haven (he's also on the Macon County Board of Commissoners) - He has a 24 seat tourism bus to drive people to dinner. - He also has a bluegrass band that he could have play at Tmac if interested. Give him a call if you're interested in the band. The bus will be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyrock Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hey i registered for this event earlier this morning before i signed up here. If you need my user name, here it is. I registered as Jack Hietala Thanks PS I paid for a dinner before i saw that the diner might be at a restaurant. Im assuming the restaurant will not be free, just wondering what the $12 is for? Hi Jack welcome to VFRD! The $12 covers a catered dinner at the Motel Sat. night, don't worry about any tickets, we'll have list of everyone there and paid.

Member Contributer gradus Posted May 13, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted May 13, 2011 That little breakfast joint across the street is gonna be SWAMPED Unfortunately, the breakfast place has closed down. The lady who ran the place passed away. If you look in the window, it looks like the place is ready to open the next morning, but she isn't coming back. That presents another issue: Coffee. The guy who lives in the office appartment is very focused on 'the office doesn't open until 8am.' He may be in the office, full pot ready to go while sitting at the computer playing some game that he's addicted to playing. NO COFFEE FOR YOU, until 8am. I'm interested in seeing how that goes with this group ...a few dozen angry dudes banging on the window because they still haven't had their coffee.

Trace Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Firstly. I will miss Sharon-Jean, even though she took 2 hours to deliver 3 pancakes. You're talking about the place that was hidden in the little dead shopping center with all the country-charm and Christian decorations, behind the mess of buildings across from the motel, right? Yeah, she was the slowest gal in the world, but the food was decent. But the place most guys probably know about is close by, directly across the street and to the right, across from the NAPA behind the motel. The Normandie, they call it. I hate that place and I'll never, ever, neverever eat there again. Never. How any place can ruin breakfast (no flavor, not even the damn bacon!) is beyond me, and they're not open on Sat or Sunday anyway. And people smoke in there. Ugh. So....MacDonalds is a very short ride away, and with a carefully loaded tankbag even small coffeee can quickly be brought back to the motel and you can enjoy your breakfast looking at lots of motorcycles and talking to everyone about what embarassing thing you did the night before.

Guest Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Coffee? You guys don't know what real coffee is until you have a Timmies. Been there, done that. Doesn't help us in Franklin though. What is the recommended breakfast spot, with the old one closed? Are there any others in walking distance? There is a nice place close to the main part of town, called the Sunset Restaurant. Good breakfast and good burgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Magoo Posted May 14, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi gang. I was fortunate enough to meet and ride with some of you a couple years ago at Sebastian's Catskills event. Just wanted to let you know that me and the old v4hondabbs gang will be at Blue Ridge Motorcycle Camp the same week. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=franklin,+nc&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&wrapid=tlif130539919706410&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x8859251b3c341e5b:0x7d6abd5c00dca225,Franklin,+NC&gl=us&ei=DM_OTePtF6fl0QHJmrWhDg&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CDEQ8gEwAA I think we're doing the Moonshiner Run Thursday or Friday so we'll be riding right by your hotel at some point. I know we all pack so much riding and bsing into these events that it makes it tough to visit, but if any of you see old V4 Magnas, Sabres and Interceptors...we're your friends. Have fun and be safe. Especially those of you who have yet to experience the great Smoky Mountains. Magoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 SHORT..... Eight hours to leaving for the Big T-Mac.............. Will keep my small tank bag and tail bag on and add my panners, Cranked my rear shock pre-load to the top after two test runs in each of the remaining steps, and got my turn-in where I like it. 20 pounds a panner. See you guys here when I get back, I don't have a mobile PC. Hope all of you that aren't coming will have a nice week of riding where ever you may ride.

Guest Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I have to cancel. I have a work issue that must be corrected next Saturday. I just messaged YellowVFRider, we were rooming together. So, please contact him ASAP if you need or have a room space. I photographed a dance school recital dress rehearsal (450 students) over 9 hours this weekend. Due to staffing and organizational errors, I don't have enough (or high enough quality) images to present my client. We were not allowed to use flash during the rehearsal and my second shooter could not handle this at all. My only recourse is to shoot the actual recital next Saturday, so that is what I must do. I was really looking forward to seeing many of you again and meeting most that I have never ridden with. I will check in here often to look for more rides in the NC/TN area. I love to ride down there. Everyone be safe and have a great time, Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyrock Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Also, it looks like money is pretty tight right now and ill prob not be able to stay overnight. What day would be a good day to be there? I dont see any kind of schedule or anything. Im signed up for the banquet so i guess that would be the best day? The basics are be feed and gassed up and in the Franklin Motels courtyard by 8:30am for riders meeting and then break-up into ride groups and Pegs up at 9am, probably 9:30 w/this bunch.

Baileyrock Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 OK, what's up??? I just called they hotel to confirm my reservation...they said some newb was rooming with me...named Kevon Bellyrocker or somesuch... I call to check on mine room and it took 30 minute to confirm with the NEW help. Anytime you call ask for Tammy, she seems to be the Only one that knows anything! I emailed her today about issues like these and hopefully it will all be sorted out before the big wave arrives! BR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer NorthernVFRDave Posted May 17, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted May 17, 2011 Well day one was fun, cold, rain, rain, sunshine, big rain, flash flood warnings. So I'm hold up in Harrisonburg VA, wanted to go farther, but the weather is not on my side. Hoping the rain lets up for a run down the BRP tomorrow.

Baileyrock Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Well with now 76 plus attendees signed up I Don't have enough T-shirts for everyone! I'll check on a second production run, but I would like to ask everyone who ordered Extra tee's that you please give them up for either a refund or your extra shirt mailed to you at a later date. There was no way I could guess that we would have such a Huge serge in sign-ups in the last two weeks of the event to have enough tee's produced! SORRY! br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SORRY! br With everyone's cooperation I plan to use most of teh Extra tee's ordered to hand out at the event and then ship any needed after a Second Run at the Printer. If this does not work for you I can offer a refund of the extra Tee's cost. I can cover all sizes except Med. doing this, you Med. guys will need to put on some weight real soon!
