Thanks I appreciate that and it makes me feel sooooo loved

Take me off the pending list.

I sold my junk. I'm bikeless.

and you're not gonna have a bike by may?

for 3 nights Amorok, roughly $26 a night. We got the whole lodge for $290 per night and we're dividing that between 12 people right now. It's actually $72 and change each for all 3 nights without the tax so I gave a rough number of $80 per person for the 3 night weekend.

I'll get my crayons out if Derf needs help with it ;) :lol:

I've done that already. And I haven't heard from GT yet either. :idk:


Thursday
26.36 plus tax
Friday & Saturday:
24.17 plus tax

Cost per night so far (and no...I didn't count Ebbs yet :nee: )

Can i get the addy of the lodge so I can GPS it? If Im coming by myself I need to plan ahead...

;)

Physical address: 3580 State Hwy 60, Suches GA 30572

Hopefully we'll all have someone to ride with there. If not the whole way, meet up along the way. :)

Thanks dear!! Hmm, 6 hours 42 mins according to mapquest...not to mention, thats straight north of my parents...and I KNOW they'll want me to visit...*sigh*

on the off chance i go, it will be on a whim and a prayer, so if i make it is there a spot on someones floor, will chip in the jack for said floor space

There should still be plenty of room in the lodge. ;)

boom an excuse to take more time off! :D

Hehe my leave got approved today, all 3 days. But thats right after the 4 day pass I'm taking right against it.

For you non military people that means I'm taking 7 days off and only using 3 vacation days.

Maybe. Maybe not. Depends on how the economy is going. Right now, I'm getting kicked in the dick.

I put my days in too. Only working monday in the Er the week before and not going back till the following wed or thursday. I will work the side job tues and wed and we will leave wed night I guess.

Tom

Yeah uh no. Im still up in the air. I have my vacation days to take, plus a day or so float time and some comp time, but I will have to take a week or so to go house hunting before too long in addition to this...And im trying to get a trip up to NY around the same time...too many things, not enough time or money!

just ride back with me :lol:

Tom

:lol: Thanks for the offer, but its a non MC trip. My best friend from childhood lives in NYC, and I havent seen her in a few years so I am trying to get up there for a long weekend to catch up and "relax".

If you want ride back with us, leave the bike at my house, take the train into the city, I'm an hour and a half south of NYC.


Then come back in a few days to pick it up and ride home, all is good.

Got the official ok today... I'll be there. I've got leave from the 4th-10th. but I'll probably head out on the 2nd or so... gonna have to order some tires :D

Wait wait wait...Your not coming to the Rally???

As of right now Im coming, Im just not riding back to NY with you guys! :lol:

Ahh...Well then Im ok with that...Its a long fucking ride Lol

WooT! :rockwoot:

schweet, good deal man

Huzzah! Um have we nailed down the dates on TWO and the possible lodgings at the Gap?

I thought we had TWO all settled? as for the Gap... I'll be up in that area from the 3rd till Trip and I ride down the 6th (right?) so I'll be scrubbing in my tires :D


motherfuckers start your sunny 75* days dance!!!

TWO is pretty much settled, according to Eric. Although GT was supposed to get in contact with me for a credit card for the reservation and hasn't yet (not from lack of me trying). But from what I understand, it's reserved. I'm still trying to get in touch with GT.

why don't you try contacting TWO and just give them the CC number directly... :idk:

I have been. GT is the one who normally returns calls and emails. I've left messages, emailed, etc. Eric's talked to him and gave him my contact info. I'll talk to Eric about later on the phone when he gets off work to see how we can finished getting it resolved.

TWO has us down for reservations for that weekend...just no CC number.

ahh I was thinking GT was a member here... :lol:

:ps: :D I've been in contact with GT through email, said he had us down for the 3 nights and he would call Rogue to get the CC#. I'll be surprised if he calls for the card, just the feeling I got.

Just as long as he makes good on the reservation, I don't care. But it would be nice to know one way or the other. :lol:

Who are we figuring will be arriving first, that way we can get the rooms and kinda get things situated. if all goes well I think were looking at a early to mid afternoon arrival from NY/NJ.

Tom

Okay,my last question is....you mentioned that we have TWO for 3 nights,and those are....Thu,Fri,Sat or Fri,Sat,Sun ? Just wanna be clear. Because I could have sworn we were staying from the 7th-11th which is 4 nights... Oh and let's update the who's going list please.

I believe that is correct. it better be since were leaving wed night and will travel overnight to get there on thursday.

Tom

Ok,I'm kool with getting there on Thursday...but what about Sun night? I know there is talk of staying at the Gap and all....

Trip and I will PROBABLY be the first there... but then again... Eric lives the closest...

I think Trip and I were planning on riding down the 6th... but that may have changed.

i still havent figured out my plans yet. i think we were leaving that up in the air for now.

Tom

well look'n at the list only a couple of us are set to leave on the 10th... so ya'll might wanna get that sorted out...

I'm sure it'd be easier to cancel sunday night if ya'll wanna head out sooner... than it would be to try and extend for another night... :2cents:

Exactly! Oh and I thought most were staying through the 11th which is Mon. Anyway,all I know is I'm psyched that my boy Ebbs is going and it's our birthday! WOOT!

:lol: well I gotta work on the 11th so I'm out on the 10th...

and it's our birthday week... so for ideas for me... GAS CARDS :lol: or gift cards to buy new tires...

Hey aren't you hanging out with Nick on the 6th? If it's ok I might be up for that,if there's a spot on the floor on something that is....

yeah, i think we are going to stay at DGMR on the 6th if anyone else wants to show up.

You'll be lucky if tommy uses the ball gag on you

only if he asks nicely

Tom

The bitch will ask nicely while the bitch puts the lotion on its skin

...or else he gets the hose again :rofl:

see below
sounds good! can't wait to fuck'n ride!

:wtf: OSP steal someones login? :lol:

Someone's gotta take up his slack since he hasn't been around. :lol:

Where is our shovel toting comrade anyway? :scratch: Has anyone heard from him?

I iwll bring a shovel just in case:panic:

Tom

:panic: :panic: :panic:

Someone needs to pick up the slack :dthumb:

Tom

Does that mean you're gonna start talking about burying your patients? :lol:

Well, since everyone was talking about riding Deals Gap on Monday and we kinda discussed leaving TWO on Sun to take the long way up to DG and stay up there that night instead of doing a 2 hr ride with just to get there Mon morning... I can email GT if y'all want to stay at TWO Sun night. Doesn't matter to me :idk:

I say you might wanna stay up near DG for sunday night if you're gonna ride it on monday... that way ya'll have a place to put all your shit... just ask Drewpy for pics of luggage on the Gap :lol:

That stuff I cant go into :whistle:

Tom

That too! I've seen Drewpy's pic :panic:

Hey that's cool with me! Well,Eric do you want to lock in lodging for Deal's Gap for Sun night?

I think those that wanted to check out on the 11th at TWO should be asked as well.

At present here's the list of those who are checking out on the 11th:

Me
Eric
Redd (Eric, I know her situation has changed, you may need to call her and see if she's still able to come)
Derf
Tommymac
Amorok
Tigger
Sixxxer
Phenix Rider
NtS

I don't care one way or the other. I'm pretty sure Amorok will be down for whatever is decided as well, but double check with him too. :) If you guys want me to, I'll get in touch with the others and get their opnions. Trip will need to contact NtS. I think he's the only one that has a way of contacting him.

I gotta be at the Outer Banks by the 12th So Im Def down to ride the Dragon on Monday and Ill stay at DG Sunday night...

Fuck it Im in!!

Tommy's in for going to the Gap Sunday. Derf's following his lead. I think the only one's that we need to see if they want to is NtS, Phenix Rider, and Amorok. :)

put me on the list plz. 7-10. might come even earlier.

I'll room with whomever. or whomever is willing to room with me....

yea.

Gotcha. Thanks. The earlier guys are meeting at the Gap so talk to Trip about what they're doing. :)

Damn peer pressure :panic:


If the entire rally is heading to the gap, I guess I'll follow. Just know I'm going slow. I've no need to be a semi splat, or be taken out by some moron that can't turn.

What's lodging for the group look like there?

EVERYONE will be going slow... trust me... my first thought was FUCK'N Hell! :lol: but in a good way... almost split my lips smiling so damn much in my helmet.

I'll be going slow too.... :lol:

I'm looking for places near the Gap now.

I need to find out from everyone if they want to try to stay at DGMR or just get a few hotel rooms and split cost. DGMR won't take a reservation now according to their website. Those are to be made 60 days in advance. So trying to stay there may be iffy right now.

I'm researching other places right now and will send PM's to those going to the Gap within a day or two. So far it looks like it's going to cost about the same per person.

guess I will be out front then :lol: too bad that mc cabin on rt28 isnt there anymore that would have been a great place to stay.

Tom

Um,it's well under 60 days Pythagoras!

man I can't wait... I got shit on order for my bike... :drool: the bitch is all torn down... :D

:panic::idk:

I meant for the new riders... not you fuckers who have that shit in your back yard.

and besides... your still only doing what 25ish right? :lol:

Alright, so it'll be the people on "little bikes" :lol: Don't know if my widdle 650 will keep up :panic:

your 650 with the right suspension is made for roads like the gap.

It's on the list. Emulators up front I could even do before the rally. Shock in the rear is going to take a lot of convincing- $750 worth!

:diitb:

no other shocks work for your bike? Just aftermarket?

I thought a GSXR shock would work....:whistle:

Should be real fun muscling the futura through the gap, I think it will be fine for the higher speed stuff on the skyway though. last time I was there I had my TL and railed through there, I try that this time it may not end well :)

Tom

I'm on an SV... :lol: There's a couple of guys on cruisers too. :D

I'm anxious to see how other people do at the Gap. I've never been....heard and saw pics and videos of the horror stories. I don't want to become one of them, especially since we don't have anything remotely like the curves at the Gap here. I'll be taking my time. :lol:

Nope
and nope. Unless your gixxer rider weighs more than his bike- about two times more :panic:

I gather that the rear spring rate on the 650R is about 1200 lbs/in. That's right, twelve hundred. No linkage to make a puny 400-600 lbs/in work like most supersports have.

NO ONE is allowed near the tree of shame. ONLY rule- no crashing.

Shhhh!!!! You weren't supposed to say the name of it!!!! :panic: :panic: :panic:

blah... you'll be fine... just remember what's behind you DOESN'T MATTER! if someone wants to pass... they'll pass... if not... FUCK THEM.

relax and have fun... but don't hug they yellow... too many douche bags... good your hitting it on a week day though!

Just don't be a dumbass that spouts 318 curves in 11 miles. First it's not 318 curves and practically no one actually regularly rides all 11.1 miles unless they are going to the store or dams on the otherside of the gap or going home.

i was gonna say... I only counted 294... and I was being generous :lol:

318 was the cubic inches of Pete's truck when he owned DGMR.

:lol: funny how things get blown out of proportion :lol:

Well, I'm on a cruiser and I ride like an old man, so it should be fine. I can't wait to ride the gap listening to queens of the stone age.

Even that is generous, Pete's truck had a 302 in it...

The story was that the count came off of a topo map and counts from the lake to the bridge below the old dam.

I can bring the V-Max up for you....Someone needs to flush the carbs out. It's got a brand new tire you should be able to roast out in 3 days...:lol:

BTW Rogue...the way PistonPete is bitching out about everything else lately, you ought to go ahead and count me in for the lodge. I'll prolly be on my own for my vaca...put me with someone else that has sleep apnea.

I gotcha down for the lodge. :dthumb: And I think everyone is chosing who's in what room when we get there. :lol:

Are you coming on the 7th or the 8th?

Damn If i had the money i would be ridding down there Eh.

But i cant afford to even ride.:scratch:

I'll actually probably be there late on the 6th...

i cant wait to turn in 30 hours paid time off... and still have 80 to burn the rest of the summer.

:lol: I'll be cashing in 10 days of leave... and still have around 50 days left

Rogue, Mark Myself and Kerry_129 down as pending. If we come we will stay at the lodge. I should know in the next day or so.

Gotcha :dthumb:

I forgot to mention, GT finally called and got my info and made sure he had the right dates so everything is ready for TWO. :dthumb:

Awesome! I can't wait to sleep somewhere that doesn't smell all moldy.

So what does the list of attendee's look like now?
