I have arrived at trips

Anyone got contact info for Cruzergirl? Weather is hell here and I haven't heard from her...

I did but I lost it.

So we rode the Gap and the Skyway today. Woke up this morning to my buddy needing new boots and me too, so we went on a boot search and found some. Then got on and rode 226 miles over back roads everywhere. Realized we were lost just as the torrential downpour caught us so like smart, sensible people we immediately headed for Deal's Gap. Only had time for one run but it was still awesome. Then got on the Skyway to come back to our hotel, the torrential downpour caught us again only this time we were at over 5000 feet. Did I mention we didn't get on the Skyway until 730? The rain broke and we rode back in the dark. It was an awesome day of riding ion spite of being wet, but now I'm exhausted and my bike is filthy (is it ever clean?) so it's time for some Sailor Jerry's and coke, pizza and sleep. I'll see you all tomorrow.

Trip:

I should be there 'round 8PM tomorrow night.

I'll call you when I get there.

We need one more body in tommys cabin

Stud if you rock a scorpion lid I have a spare visor.

Thanks for the offer. It's an Arai tho.

It's not the visor, it's the side piece that holds it in.

Ahh got ya. Bollocks!! Lol well me and Rice are the only ones here so far..but my cabin is flippin sweet!!

I got tape. It's ok. Hopefully it holds up at 80+ mph.

If ya can't duck it...fuck it

I think Kerry129 has an Arai. I'll ask him about bring it for spare parts TNstud

Change of schedule: Won't be rolling in w/ Will & his g/f until 8 or 9 in the morning.

TN Stud - which model Arai? Mine is a Corsair V (sits on a shelf since I like my Scorpion SO much more - those pita shield caps being one reason... :p)

We are here, rooms available

I'm here, in lobby. Where is everyone

Need fridge to put beer in

Come down, say hi. Jeans, blue polo, short hair, unattractive

I'm sad that I'm sitting at home while ya'll are down there. I wasn't too terribly far away last weekend. Oh well, maybe next year. Enjoy! Take lots of pictures and be safe!

i've got your phone number, you slut.

Where are you guys at?

Blairsville ga. Stop being such a homo and get down here.

Call anytime...

Pink Cock

Nooooooo

You guys still gonna be around on Sunday, or everybody heading back then??

I think most are leaving early

I wont be i cant speak for anyone else. Im already back home. :( Got rained on from Elijay all the way to Ringgold. It sucked

Stop being as gay as ebbs and get down here

When are the pictures going to get posted? I really want to get a copy of the 2 that are really good of me.

If you are talking about my camera from the 2up fun not til I get home. I don't have a way to access my camera with the computers we have

I can upload tonight

I may just make an appearance later this evening..... what time you guys gonna be around??

Oh yea and what part of the lodge y'all staying in?? So I can find you guys....

Ah that blows. Okay i guess ill wait lol.

All over just go ask the lodge where we are at.

We are in Franklin right now.

Alright cool..... I'm gonna give the rain a little time to move out then I'll prob head out

Looks like there's more rain on the way.... if need be might I be able to crash on somebodies floor for the night?? I can split the cost of the room....

A little late but we've been back since about 5 pm...

Alright cool, I'm 20 miles down the road near Hiawassee...keep an eye out in about 20-25 mins or so :-)

Youre sleeping on top of me, hope you had fun on the hott tub

Thanks Trip for bringing the rally and thanks to all the great guys (and the gals too!) for allowing us to host you this weekend - it was a blast!

I'll be posting up some pics and videos soon.

Look forward to seeing all of you again soon.

Michelle

For real...I had a blast. I will def be back at somepoint even if its not rally related

My only 2 gripes now are its 16 fucking hrs away from my house and one of the shiner bocks I brought home committed suicide and jumped out of my hard case when I got home.

I do have one suggestion for the lodge. In the gift shop area putting some bike related stuff, ie chain lube, cargo nets etc... would be helpful if someones in a pinch.

Great time boys and girls...

From Knoxville, TN still....

You're staying at Trips? If I would have known that, I would have come by.

Because I have a secret man crush.

Nope... a buddy of mine from Flint, MI that moved down here a few months ago

i had a blast so did smalls

Quality girl ya got there drewpy... though I'm still wondering if she got hit in the head... or if you have some really compromising photos of her... :lol:

i have absolultly not good pics like that, i have tried and tried again, but fail aka she deletes asap lol

lol... you know you can set it up to protect photos from deleting ;)


you can then also PM them around! LOL...


J/P smalls... you're cool in my book... which if you ask around... they'll all tell ya... doesn't mean much LOL

If you have issue with the lodge, please discuss it with them prior to blasting them publicly and give them a chance to discuss it. As Cruzergirl suggested, discuss it with Anthony or Michelle.

I'm just a cheapskate.

We had a GREAT time, all things considered. Anthony and Michelle have a super nice place and they are awesome hosts! We have never had better hosts at any of the rallies. Where else would you find folks who not only allow you to do pretty much whatever, but also are right there having fun with you?! Really nice cabins, and the pool and hot tub were stellar, drunk or sober. :lol:

I guess mostly drunk in your case :lol: :scared:

Here here Rae. Agreed mostly. But big time on super awesome people. They really rock.

I cut them slack on a few things. The vision for tt place is amazing. They are limited in so many ways due to they bought tt place 2nd hand. Plus the whole thing is in it's infancy stage.

When I say. Let's try a different place I only say that cause I agree we should go west. I need more stickers and we never have.

I think we need to make dlit host it and take us around.

That's what I said... Las Vegas baby!

I am cool with going back there next year, anytthing west or further south west may put me out of the running to go :(

The lodge rocked, Anthony and Michelle were super cool, and we had a great time. I slept much better in my Loft of Shame this year than in the palace of sinuses last year.

I will not be making it.

I hear ya tommy on making it harder BUT it would be so worth it.

The lodge was quite nice... I didn't know the owner's names. Neither of them spoke to me but I didn't speak to them either... of course I don't drink and didn't spend a lot of time at the bar getting drunk with them either...

BTW I felt that you were on your best behavior this year bro. Good job!

We talked about this in the hot tub one night, we should do it in Costa Rica or another island for a week. Find a inclusive resort we can stay at and rent dual sports for the week. That shit would be awesome. Everyone could fly in. Cost would be the only issue.

I think renting a bike or shipping mine would be order...that's a long haul chief.

If we do it in Costa Rica, align it with my wedding/honeymoon time. I'll just make Hannah learn to ride.

Now you're talking! Get really crazy and suggest one of those European bike tours! BTW Puerto Rico and we wouldn't need passports. .. plus everyone would be brown like me...hwhahaha!!!

Trip. Crack pipe. Pls put it dwn. We be poor mofos.

Amber. I get tt for sure. But I would ride out. However in all fairness aren't we expecting the same for those out there for the past 3yrs having them in the same south east area?

Oh for sure I definitely get it. I'm in for Vegas baby! I'm not riding though... ;)

Well, if you have it somewhere like Texas Florida I'll go, I'm willing to ride that far. If I can trailer I don't care how far away it is as long as it's around the same time of year, meaning not hurricane season. So pretty much between November and May I'm willing to go anywhere as long as I have enough advance notice.

I'll ride wherever.

Golly you are so cool! I might trailer but ride my bike that far? No way. Get real. Who are you Mr Johnny hammersticks?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skCV2...=youtube_gdata

Vegas would be cool IMO... that or Colorado... a little further East but close enough for the West Coast People to give it a real attempt to attend.

I'll ride where ever... just probably not on the DRZ again :lol:

I made some seashell stickers to put on my bike, so you will love it.

I will go wherever, I do agree some diff roads would be fun and see some diff parts of the country.

Well next time you have a seabirds/sea shell party you'd better invite me! BTW light houses rule!

Colorado would be good. Get No Worries to show us around.

I think CO might be a little far for me, especially at 2k miles. I would do Ar, and pretty much any state on the eastern half of the US

why don't ya'll group up... rent a Uhaul truck... and haul out together?

Even the drive might be a little far for me. I dunno. I could do it if I planned 2 days to get there and 2 back, its just a really far ride at 1700 plus miles

Yeah I hear ya... and driving across the mid west... SUCKS... even worse riding

Maybe we should still plan a western rally. Trip and I could join it (or part of it) on the Cali ride next year!

But I do think something like Ozarks would be nice. It would be somewhat in the middle and hopefully people could come from all over for the rally.

pig trail in Arkansas is my vote
