i think that i will be going on june 9-11, yeah that what my plans are. i will be bringing my gs500f to meet up with another board i visit. so this will be the first time i take it up there (the cbr f3 that is) should prove to be a lot of fun. plus if it rains i will be bringing my white water gear and do aome rafting this time.


but i will be willing to come up at any time. this cbr is the best damn thing i have ever ridden. i would love to do a long trip like that on it, and it being faster than a car when i hit the moutain i guess i could leave cola S.C. and be there in 4 hours or less as is on the truck is 5 1/5 hours.

 

I'm going with a group over Easter Weekend. Anybody going?

Upon entering it I see that it's my first post on this form. Wow, thrilling

 

where u all riding from???

 

we're comming from various parts in VA. We plan on staying in Fontana Villiage this time. This is going to be my third time running it, but the first time we're bringing more than six people. So far we've got about ten people comming with a real mix of bike types and skill levels. If anyone is interested in meeting up somewhere around there let me know, and I'll try to make it happen.

 

coming from opposite direction...i'm going in june but if i wanna run up in april i might do that as well....i plan on doin some photography of the bikes for a few hours BUT i heard their is only actually one place where you can pull off and park
-Anyone know?-

 

You can get off of the road in a quite a few places. Just because most people skip over the shoulder on their way out (when people wreck) doesn't mean there isn't one. The only thing that I would caution you about is not to appear that you may have wrecked in any way. Before you know it there will be 20 people slowing down to see if you are OK or need help . You should check out that Killboy's website. He gets great shots, I'm sure he'll tell you where to get the best pics, he seems like a pretty nice guy. When you go up there don't miss the rides in and around the Dragon. The scenery is breathtaking. I'm going to be putting the pics I take on my Myspace page.
Later,
Dan

 

I'm going to the Dragon next month, from may 14-18 with my crew from SoFla. I've never been there before, but damn it looks like soooo sweet!! I can't wait! After that I'm continuing on a massive roadtrip, to Cheaseapeake Bay, VA to go across the 20 mile bridge, then some backroads through VA and WV, up into Ohio to visit a friend there, over to Chicago to visit my mom, central IL to see my sister, then make my way back home, stopping in Atlanta to see another friend. Should be a good 4000 miles or so on the bike in 15 days!

 

i'de venture to say it's going to exceed 4k miles
1k to the gap from central florida
1k from gap to va-wv
about 6-700 miles i think to IN but more to Chi-Town
then all that times 2

 

i'm so jealous
last time i was there was in the spring of 04 ...

 

Maybe I'll just work doubles 3 days and take 4 days off next week....
