I'm thinking as long as it does to get t trips is a good ball park

I'm probably driving if I go, the GSXR has Power Races on it and I don't want to run them flat on the highway and the KTM can only get about 60-80 miles per fill-up. If I drive it'll be across I-10 and up 75, so I'm not really going to go past anyone on the way, so I'll probably be going solo.
|
I MAY ride up a few days early to trips... All depends if I can get the time off.
|
I'll probably come solo as well...

Or wait for some other opportunity until we could get up a good ride around there, see the sites, and raise hell. Indy may be my trip this year, but everyone says not to ride to it? Six sometimes living so far away. Least I have some good roads to keep me occupied... |

Damn! I didn't realize that Monday is Mother's Day. Fug. My kids would understand and I could make it up to them later. However, it would be one more thing for the sperm donor to throw up in my face. "You care about your riding friends more than you do your kids. They're more important to you than your kids....blah....blah...blah" :rolleyes:

I really hope I can go...sounds like it's gonna be historic! :)
Rogue - Don't know if you've heard from TWO yet but don't worry, it's owned by husband and wife (last I heard) and my guess is if you haven't heard it's because they're not there. There are only a few rooms in the lodge, everything else is fcfs camping space (my personal fave). This is where I'll stay if I can manage some time off! |
Still waiting on the hotel to call me this morning, I'll hit them at lunch if I haven't heard by then. As for the trip up, a few thoughts.
I can ride to Atlanta in a day. I usually do between 75 and 85, but I go slow enough to be safe so I'm pretty easy to follow and I'll ride out by about 0700. If we needed to stop in Atlanta (don't know why) I can get a military room on Dobbins or Robbins, between me ebbs and whoever else we should be able to bunk up cheap. But I plan on leaving at 0700 and riding straight through on the Wednesday or Thursday prior, my plans will revolve around the group riding I guess. Rogue, I am a pizza delivery guy. I have an obscene amount of $1 bills on my person at all times. Be prepared. I can carry a decent amount of Yuengling or Dead Guy Ale on my bike, I have a luggage rack and semi-hard bags. I'll bring a six-pack of each for taste testing upon request, but more than that we'll have to find there. And I'll drink the Dead Guy, it and Corona are about the only beers I drink regularly. I met people from a gun forum I was on years ago and it was awesome, so I'm looking forward to it. The reason I started the Suches Rally was that I tried to make the CF rally last August in Oxford PA. I actually made it to the KY/OH/WV border and got recalled by my base for Hurricane Gustave (stupid UCC.) I'm looking forward to meeting as many of you as I can, like I said, none of you are real yet, so this will be nice. |
Im thinking if I ride or even cage it, I wont be stopping. After the hours Ebbs and I did last year along with a few others, up to Suches is NOTHING. :lol:
What was it, 7 hours of nothing but mountains and twisties, then another 5 on the super slab...i remember 11 hours 59 minutes...and no gas! :panic: |
Ebbs [quote]Yeah I hear ya. I'd rather come up there… better riding but its up to you.
Biloxi is only 2-3 his from rae... And that was 904 miles from the campground I stayed at. 14hrs worth. [quote] I just want do do something fun, go somewhere, break away from the stress here at home. The Mothers day date kills anything but a dash to Biloxi and back. Maybe I will host my own TWFix Dirty South ride in the Ozarks:idk: The Bikes and Blues thing here in Fay is cool but way to "touristy" with gouging motels and big crowds. They say it was only beaten by Daytona and Sturgis last year:idk: Much more fun to the only bikes in the mountains. I really do want to meet you all in person as I feel like I know you and are good friends already. All the TWFers are interesting and entertaining. Here in Fay I have 1, maybe 2 guys I ride with and can tolerate, probably 3-4 more in the rest of the state. I post here so obviously my standards aren't that high:idk::whistle: |
Hey, I picked the location for this year by consensus. If the majority rules for Arkansas next year then I'm fine with that, you're all equally close for me. I usually do 600 to 800 in a day so as long as I don't go across a mountain range it's still a week trip.

Again, I'm open to having a rally anywhere in the southeast-ish area, but how about going somewhere we can all ride? Track days are cool and sport bikes are fun, but I'm not putting my boulevard on that track. Can't handle the ridicule.
|
:lol: oh come on... what a little chrome dragg'n amongst friends?
|
i'm making that one even if all I have to ride is a 50! I love that track day idea!

nice... I'll be hitting up my first ever track day this year... can't fuck'n wait... though my wallet and bank account sure can :lol:

Kiss your money goodbye, its worse than crack :lol: tom |
Tried both have ya :lol:

Amorok, there shouldn't be a need for y'all to stop in ATL, Suches is not that much farther. Maybe an hour and a half from the north end of ATL depending on your route.
And if I still have me VTX next year, I'll take it to Texas and drag some chrome around Azoomm's track. |
Quote:
I'll bring my V-Max.. |
well fuck... now we're gonna have more chrome than plastic there! :lol:
|
Quote:
|
you race naked... we'll all watch :lol:
|
Wear your body work, just don't crash.
Hey you think Azoom will let us have a special "naked' lap of the track. You know start a TWF tradition? |
Quote:
And I'll ride at the track. You turn to the left and my exhaust is on the right so I won't drag, I'll just get tired of all the asshole passing me at twice the speed. |
If the two thing falls through, I can always bring tow trailer, and just drop my bike in the bed of my truck. I have 3 decent beds in it, the two on the sides, and a 3rd one if I fold the table down.
So that means me and rogue have one bed, tommy gets the other, who's taking the bed over the table? |

Quote:
Amorok, Azoomm's track is not a nascar track, you'll turn both ways dude :D :dthumb: On my bike my pegs drag first, then it's the peg mounts, kickstand mount and pipes that follow soon after but I have actually raised the bike and upgraded the suspension so it does good for a fat ass crusier ;) |

good luck with the sale! |
Ok now we're up to almost 660 posts....

Bad news about the hotel gang. I just got off the phone with them and the lady told me $95.10 is the group rate based on requiring 15 rooms. They are double occupancy rooms so that might help. Bear in mind I have no idea if this is a good rate or not, mine will be $50 so I'm not sure what room rates actually are in hotels. I'm calling her back on Mondy to see if I can sweet talk her down a few bucks. This is for the Holiday Inn in Blairsville, which is the one suggested to me in the original threads. If anyone has any other ideas or suggestions let me have them, I'm checking this thread every day now. |
is that 95 a night? if so fuck that... if not... for how many nights
|

|
That seems high imo.

I'm still up for whatever...wherever.

are we still waiting to hear from TWO also?
Tom |
Yes, nobodys been able to get in touch with them yet
|
Quote:
Tom |
nope, plus my trailer is always an option on the table
|
Quote:
Because he's CHEAP!!! I must admit though,$100 per night in a Holiday Inn seems a bit steep... |
Hey I hit Orbitz real quick and got the HI for $75 and the Best Western for $69 although I bet that's before taxes...
Here's from BW's website... http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwestern/selectHotel.do |

|
Hey what about this place,$65/room/night? Oh that's $32.5 ea....
http://findgroupdeals.hotelplanner.c...Bid_ID=7514351 |
|
Tigger, I think those are some nice alternatives. I'm still awaiting to hear fron TWO. I'd really like to go there if possible. :) Hell, even camping there would be awesome! :D
That is, if I even get to go now. :( We'll see.... |

Oh I'm sure that we could make some "arrangements" regarding your hotel costs.... |
It's not just hotel costs, but food (although I eat like a bird) and gas expenses. Not to mention lost wages from taking those days off. I had my vacation time in at the old job so I didn't have that to worry about.
Depending upon how quickly I find a job or two will depend if I get to go. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll still be able to go. :dthumb: |
Rogue, if you want to come I can promise to chip in and help you out, at least with trip expenses, and I'm sure others will too. It's no different than when Rez and wife came last August, we want you there.
Ebbs, yes, you will get a $50 room with your military ID, all Holiday Inns have it and I've stayed in a few. I'll make sure when I call them this morning, but I'm sure they do. As for accomodations, I'm going to try to get us a better group rate, I'm really dissappointed that they couldn't do any better than that. I mean, how much does a room cost normally? I was hoping for everyone to stay close to each other, I guess we'll all just have to use cell phones to plan stuff. I'm not averse to people crashing out in my room if you get too drunk to go anywhere, the post-party transportation is my main concern about people staying in different places. And I'm not camping out this year. I've done my share of sleeping in tents and am quite fond of a hotel and a shower I don't have to walk more than a few feet to take. I just don't want to sleep on the ground anymore, maybe after my deployments have a few more years to fade in memory, we'll see. |
AMorok, I hear ya about sleeping on the ground, though I've not done it a lot, I'm just not fond of it cause I usually wake up stiff and then I do need a hot shower to loosen things up.
$32 a night at a hotel isn't bad at all, I'm all up for that. Blueridge is a nice town too, lots of resturants and convieniences (walmart, advance auto parts etc. kinda stuff). I'd say go for the first one if TWO doesn't get back to us soon enough or if the lodge is booked already :idk: |
yeh yeh yeh, this will happen, and we will drink and have tom foolery fun
|
Methinks you're already there and doing it. :whistle:

Y'all have a great one! Hey y'all still doing someting at Lil' Tally in April? I can make it down for some photography if y'all are interested, it's only like an hour and a half away or so. |

So has TWO got back to us? Wherever the majority is staying that's where I'll probably end up. As long as I can sleep inside and have a bathroom.
|
I haven't heard from them & I forgot to give them another today.....
