If you come out to Colorado, let me know!! Love to have you out here. Look forward to seeing you and everyone at the fall run!

 

We missed the April meet. Count us in for the Fall meet. John & Dorothy DBG 55

 

Gary I am looking foward to the fall meet and hope to make all three days this time. If it works out my wife Linda will attend with her 05 ssb SRT roadster. Hope to see you all in the fall!

 

Yep we did sort of drop of the planet for awhile. Both of us got really busy at work. We'll be down at the dragon in July on the motorcycles so it should be fun. We were there about four years ago. It was so busy with squids on sportbikes, grannys with campers, and leaf peepers we bailed. Plus there are so many cool roads there besides the dragon. As I write this I am in Madison, Indiana on a motorcycle tour of southern Indiana. Now there is some wonderful riding. WOW! mile after mile, Nashville, IN, Story, French Lick (my favorite ), and Madison. The X-fires would love it down here.

 

Evan, this time I won't have to coordinate with a wedding. Maybe we can synch up.

No woman involved either so an early mornig laaunch from St Louis is possible. (Cathy will be in CT, AGAIN)

I'll stay Thursday night (Oct 29) at the Red Roof Inn - Florence, Kentucky.
Crossfirefrank, msgump, msxfire, Rapps Yellow CF will join me and stay at the hotel.
There is O'Charleys a good restaurant walking distance next door for happy hour and /or dinner.
Then on Friday morning we are also joined by tnn14 & James1549 .
We all leave for the 5 hour run to the Fontana Lodge with our first trip through the Dragon in route just before we arrive.

Anyone can come and join us for the pre party again this fall......

 

Hey Gary,

If you don't mind I would like to tag along. I was planning on taking off Thursday and Monday anyway. It is still a ways off but if that would work maybe we can plan on it? Thanks.

Stay safe...


Respectfully,


Paul (MisterTaz)

 

Sure !!! Come and join us and stay the night.

 

Sounds like a plan Franc.

 

Glad .org is back up and running.

Gary, I will be coming to the Tail again. Will arrive Thursday and leave Monday.

For those arriving Thursday or early Friday, I will be making a run to Ashville to take a tour of the Biltmore. Would be cool to have a group go along. In fact, I would be willing to lead that group.

Looks like a nice run Jane.
See what ya can do with that to put together a full loop run for this on Sunday.
I see we pass near Cherokee but I'm sure there is a nice route we can take that is different this time

Map from Fontana Lodge to Ashville - Biltmore

 

This excursion will be a long day as it is about 2 hours to Ashville and then we'll spend time touring the grounds and Biltmore. Will also have to eat at that restaurant and drink the wine, so by the time we sober up and get home, it will be late.

I'm going to be on vacation that week, so I like to get to the Dragon early for some midweek runs. If, however, people would prefer Sunday, over Friday, that is fine with me. I just didn't want to interfere with already established plans.

I'll need to find out if the Biltmore is open on Sunday and will get back with everyone. Maybe we can do it on Sunday if there is interest. Let me know, folks, if you would be interested in a full day of excursion and I promise to bring us back via the Tail. The Tail is very cool to do at night; no cops and no traffic.

A Biltmore update. The Biltmore is open all year round, so no problem going on a Sunday.

The cost is $59.00 per person. Tickets can be purchased there, but you can save money by purchasing from their website: biltmore.com.

I think this could be fun and add a bit of variety to our gatherings.

Jane

 

Visit the Biltmore Website.

I suspect that the group for Sunday may end up divided between going to Ashville to tour Biltmore or a full day of mountain driving.

I misunderstood your plans when you said you were interested in going Friday as I thought you were going to check out the actual run more than the place itself. If you choose to go Friday I'd say go for it and if others go on Sunday I'm sure that a group can form among themselves and go together on Sunday if they choose to.

 

If a group wants to go on Sunday, I'll hold off and go then. The route is primarily highway, so I really don't need to scope it out prior. Attendees: let me know of your interest.

Jane

 

im in for fall...

 

Got ya on the list #31

 

Jane I'd love to get a chance to go with you, but I'll just be getting there on friday when you are coming back (may see you then), and then Sunday I am probably going to be making runs of the dragon with folks either in from or behind while I film them (kind of a private movie - I guess). Either that or going on the long run, as I missed that this spring.

 

Count us in for the Biltmore run either day. Great idea.

Just hope we can keep up if Danica, er.......... I mean Jane is leading the pack!

 

Jane the Biltmore trip is something I would interested in depending on finances at that time. Its always nice to change things around a little for something different hopefully some others will be interested as well.
