The Crest sounds like a great idea. Are there enough gas stops along the way for our little tanks? Its 10/10 the decided date?

Gas up in LaCanada, it's only about 80 miles to the I15. The last time I rode with anyone was on dirt bikes in the '70's. Allegedly there are services along the way, bars and such. Unless something more important comes up 10/10 is a go for me. Something important would be teenaged daughters. Executive Support for SBC is not important.

Man i wanna go because it would be so kewl to meet all of ya and ride. but my god my butt goes numb after 30 mins on the road let alone like 3.5 hrs. I would be fun tho and IM still debating. I think torque wants to go and maybe lancer. hmmm read this

The most infamous Triumph event in the country? In the world? Even Speed Channel had to come see what all the fuss was about last year and they left with the best Corbin’s Ride On segment of the year. And those are their words, not ours. The Dragon RAT raid just gets better and better every year. Quite possibly the best motorcycle riding in the East, the area features the legendary Dragon and it’s 318 curves in 11 miles. Traverse between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, part of the Appalachian Mountains on one side, and the Little Tennessee River with the Fontana Dam, Calderwood Dam, Cheoah Dam, and the Chilhowee Dam on the other. There isn’t a bad road within a hundred miles for cruising in the back country and taking in the sights. Join RAT on Saturday night for all of the festivities including live blue grass music, pig roast, proper British beer, RAT awards, raffles, and more! And don’t forget your kilt! A tradition of honor and bravery is to wear a kilt to the party at the Dragon on Saturday night. Just remember, if you wear something under your kilt, it’s just a skirt!

i wonder if speed channel will clock us going 30mph? And here are the Suzuki Savages wiping up the rear end haha.

All right, then: so far two of us have said yes to September 24th (assuming no other commitments).

So, RockyRoad, JimR, Mark (who first suggested it), Lancer, Red2k1, and Paula (and anyone else) -- if you're all still interested, does the 24th work for you?

Deb, if you read this, we'll be pretty close to eastern TN if you want to come along.

And just a note here: when we do this, I say we all wear whatever we like. We ride Savages/S40's -- we have no kilt requirement. (Unlike a certain other bike...) Shocked

Yes, the 24th sounds good so far, planning on it. It will be a 6 hour ride out, anyone in Ohio/Kentucky wanting to ride, maybe we can meet up along the way?
Have had a few suggestions to trailer Shocked

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to make reservations: I think the Triumph kilt-wearing folk will be staying at the Tapoco Lodge in Robbinsville, NC -- at least, that's where they've stayed in the past; seems they got something like 85 bikers showing up at a past event. So I don't know what that means for vacancies at the Tapoco.

Otherwise, I think the Robbinsville area might be a good idea for a starting point, unless anyone prefers the Tennessee end of the Dragon?

It seems to be the Twisty Ride. The Tail of the Dragon is 318 Curves in 11 Miles. I'm taking the Angels Crest Highway which greets you with this sign:
