Southern Rally: Discussion
 

Put all your discussion posts here.

Copperhead Lodge is the location.

Dates are leading up to the weekend of June 5-6, 2010

And those are where?

http://www.fontanavillage.com/ (I think this is it)

or


http://www.thecycleresort.com (my choice, of course)

The best part will be listening to Steve Earle songs and doing that dance all week!

Guitar Town! Thats gonna be stuck in my head all day now...

I was close to posting a video of people doing the dance but I was was remined of you people's inability to dance!!! Hahahahaha!

Depending on the honeymoon, I (and maybe the hubby) may be in if we stick to the June time frame. Fontana village sounds good to me.

either work for me, i wouldnt mind going to the gap, but the other place would be cool too

Whatta you mean, 'You People'?

what about the pig trail?

The weekend of June 5-6 is the date, we aren't moving that.

no, it is down to these last two.

If I take time off work I may be able to come. Hmmmmm

Whats the cost for rooming?

Hwy 23 in AR Is closed right now for erosion repairs. Will be one lane for many months...

fonata

I'll vote Copperhead.

Change my vote to Copperhead!!

Its closer by almost 2 hours for us, and judging from the website its got a kickass pool and hot tub! I want amenities for once!

Don't forget restaurant, bar (byob since the county is dry but all mixers and storage for said byob available...and 3 big screen t.v.'s), shop, t.v. lounge, huge gathering area inside... :rockout:

Sounds nice.

Yea, I'm with you baby! Perhaps they'll even have decent beds?.... I liked the restaurant at "Two" but didn't like the food situation at DGR. Hell, maybe they even have internet...

Yes spending a week with Rae and perhaps Itgirl and Kelli in a place that has a pool doesn't sound bad at all....:boobs:

Wireless in the lodge...

+ available public computer downstairs in the lounge area...

Okay, count me in! besides, if I remember correctly, the Gap isn't THAT far away is it? We could make a day trip if people want. Yep 80 miles no big deal.

About 1 hour 52 minutes on some f'ing amazing roads.

Sounds like Copperhead will be the resounding fave on this one! Are the rates current on the webpage? And is this the correct page?

http://www.copperheadlodge.com/

It's a little north of where we stayed last year. We can still hit some of the cool roads I know of, just come at them from a different direction.

Hey Rae, make sure you bring that white bikini I like!!!! Hahahahahaha!

no, we are going to work on the rates with the owners directly. I am already in touch with them, more on this later.

Yea if my map skills were better, I'd post them but you're right! The route that Google picked is fucking stupid with curves!!!

Nope, www.thecycleresort.com

Perfect, cant wait to hear it. Gotta figure out how I am gonna swing the time off, but we may just make it a Thursday-Sunday thing.

Check "include large map" for an awesome overview of the ride.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...0&layer=c&pw=2

That's what I am probably going to do, saving time off for next year.

Copperhead looks nice!
I've been to Fontana/DG many, many times & haven't explored enough in the N-Ga area.

I'm in, if at all possible! :rockwoot:

Close proximity to that beautiful stretch of TN68 just north of Ducktown, TN - on the way to the Cherohala! :drool: :yes:

I'm in as well, put me down for 2 at the moment.

post this in the headcount thread

My bad will do.

Hey Guys -

Catching up on a few posts and trying to chime in here...

Beds are better than decent - they are comfortable
Pool will be ready for you!
WIFI throughout The Lodge - for free
Restaurant serves Comfort Food with Attitude

Any questions, post and I'll answer (or Cruzergirl if she beats me here).

HB

I for one am looking forward to getting up there! Thanks for posting!

this place is closer then fontana!

Based on the weekend you are looking at - that is HB's birthday week - and I'm HB! Will be lots of activities at The Lodge for you to enjoy after a long day of riding the most amazing roads anywhere! Everything from live music to pool parties - and everything in between!

I look forward to seeing you all there!

I think I am going to go ahead and call it based on this thread and plan to have it at Copperhead.

Let us know when you can get us some rates and we can block off some rooms.

I think some people would like to see the options for rooms you will have as well.

Yes, yes, YES!

'ill have what she is having" is the movie quote that comes to mind:rockwoot:

Just like gasman I will write you a doctors note so ne excuses ;

About time you did something right :lol:

Copperhead would be awesome I could get a ton more ppl to come but they wouldn't need rooms.

I dont think I'll need ot, but we may need some chloroform to kidnap Gasman!

I was going to say something more of the lines of "I didn't know my posting had this effect on women, I thought it always left them cold and empty." :lol:

You my tall nerdy friend, nevah!

:lol:

Why on Earth would anyone here want some strangers to attend a Two Wheel Fix Rally?

Hell, there are people that are members here that I can imagine most of the population here doesn't want to attend. But, they just can't possibly stay away from somewhere they are clearly not wanted. :idk:

Good point.

You don't want to meet new riders?? Most want to join the site. My roommate's joining once she gets her bike.

Maybe you missed out on the idea that this is a Rally for Two Wheel Fix. How about this - they can join here FIRST then make their own decision about coming to the rally?

What's the matter, can't go somewhere on your own?

If you can kidnap me from here I'll be there!

Long lost adopted sister on her deathbed? Must be in the states to say goodbye and find out vital info on family history before she goes?

Hey, I think that could work. Hmmm, do we know any health care professionals who could make that call???


:scratch:



:lol:

Ohhh Tommmmyboy!! We need you! :lol:

I feel so loved :lol:

I read this whole thread just now, and this is the only post worth a shit in here. Thank you tigger, you put a smile on my face today

Hmmm... I wonder whom she may be speaking about?.... Oh no, is it time for another poll?:lol:

I don't think a poll is needed. There's clearly a consensus.

Gee, am I relegated to "forum stalker" status? Hahahahahaha!

Fuck This looks tempting as Fuck...I think the wife will Kill me If i try and go again without her...But i would def take the truck this time with the bike in the back...Its roughly twelve hours from my house and another 748 Miles...I LOVE you guys alot and the ride last year was SICK...but My back was SCREAMING.

And I certainly would bring my wife with me but then i'd have to ride two up all weekend and what fun is that...

I'm a Maybe right now

So a 19 hr ride and going through a raging monsoon for 5 hrs was too much for ya :lol:

I may make my route a little longer and try to get an iron butt patch. Figure my odometer had me at a little over 900 on the ride down last year so another 100 miles is doable esp if I get a break on the weather.

I can gleefully inform you that it is not about you, Tigger. :nee:

I know babe... just having fun.

Wife?? WIFE??!!! What did I miss?

:lol: Tig you crack me up...

He married derf :lol

I love you, Rae!!!

Back at ya sunshine! You gonna actually bring a chick to this? Gonna seriously mess up your game...:lol:

Bring the wife, sounds like a lot of people may be bringing SOs this time. They can go off and do something nonmoto related and you can get some single rider time in.

I hadnt announced it yet, but the hubby finally got himself a bike, and if we can swing it, he's super excited to be riding with me. As soon as this crappy weather warms up I'll start breaking him in. :wink:

Cool what did he get?

ATTENTION, if you talk to Ericr/Rogue/Ebbs/anyone else that isn't on a bunch but may have interest in the rally, give them a call and find out if they are in or not. We want to get a decent idea of headcount soon.


I saw that on facebook and he hasn't posted pics yet which is just mean....

Yea well since you are bringing your hubby....

Kawasaki Mean Streak, the red and black one. Dead sexy...for a cruiser.

You want I should call Ebbs?

Yeah, we took this weekend off from life, and this week his schedule is jacked, he just left for work, but had to sleep all day so he could work all night. Hopefully this'll be over by Wednesday or so, but I'll take some pics and let him post them :lol: He's all excited but playing it cool, like he doesnt get all lil boy when he looks at it.

Exactly, maybe Rae's hubby can take them on a nature walk or something...

Isn't he in Michigan? I could help out with that one.

Aw there goes the nature hike...

nonriding significant others or spouses can have a pool party.

Yeah, I will let you call him.


yeah he is, go for it. LOL

Yep we are a happy couple :)

Wow, that creeped me the fuck out right there. I am going to have nightmares. Derf you are one fucked up dude. :lol:

Well, I screwed up your sleep for the next few nights, my job is done.

This really needs to be added to some gallery somewhere that twfix keeps all its worst pictures together

Ebbs is in, super excited. I'll keep him posted.

but hes still out of the circle :lol:

Fuck the circle, join the squares

Shit with dry county you will need some guys with saddle bags to get booze.

Yes and you should come! We can bike pool together.

And if I come, I will again offer up my back seat to anybody's wife. Well besides Sixxxer's wife posted in that pic. DUDE, that is one ugly bitch!

Hey now... no chloroform needed. Debating if I want to take my entire shift off for this. I need a day each way for travel.

Just google mapped it to Copper Lodge... 10.5 hrs straight down I-75.

Trip... maybe I could roll with you from your place down.

I'm no ones wife, but can I get the back seat anyway? I'll be flying in bikeless.

Hey Zoommy are you really going?

Sure... whatever. Its like sitting in a car... backrest, arm rests, headsets, stereo, stereo and intercomm controls, floor boards instead of pegs..

Cool, I'm going to buy a Snuggie and wear it on the bike.

I think a few guys may be trailering/driving down so that may help, but what i did learn from the NE rally is that withthe hard bags, tail bag and tank bag I can carry about 2 cases of beer :rockwoot:

No worries on the saddle bags fellas. The county line is just 5 miles, and we offer delivery.

Gina, June isn't a good month for me to be travelling - I have the girls all month. But, it's on my radar. I get my schedule with BMW in February - if someone would like to work on the local BMW dealer to get the trucks out there.... I could most certainly make the trip. Trip?? Hook a girl up, and I'll have a few conversations :wink:

That will work for me, but I probably won't roll out til thursday sometime. May work a half shift that day, undecided right now. If you come down, I may take the whole day off.

What would be the local dealership for blairsville, I have no idea. Copperhead will have to hook us both up.

I'm hoping to attend. Put me down!!! WOOHOO!!!

She cant follow instructions ;lol:
