Kel doin't ride me too hard , remember in 2009 I was a confussed rookey. Well at least the rookey part has changed over the last years ride.
Actually I doin't remember pointing directions , just being in "Whow What a Road".

I'll probley be Wensday through Sunday this year. That ride Toymaker led us on down by the river and into BBQ country still leaves a smile on me

no offence taken Kel. I plan to leave the Harley at the house in June. Some roads are just made for the Savage .

ToyMaker I think a interstate ride around the mid west to visit some of our Savage Buddys would be a neet ride for the "BIG" bikes out-riggers and all. Its perty much a days ride from my house to the Dragon for the Savage , but the Harley would do Time and a half the miles easy. Eighty down the SuperSlab is easy riding on the Roadster 1200.
. Cool

Assuming I am able, I plan on making it to the 16th GEEIA-MDA-EI Reunion on JUNE 14, 15, 16, 2011, at the Treasure Bay Casino and Hotel in Biloxi, Mississippi. Hey, anyone has to go that far, you need to stop to check the Dragon. I will be there on Saturday, June 18. Then I'll be heading for Colorado Springs to meet family.

I know it was a mistake... not blaming you BUT..... I did like the little Holler we ended up in...... did not hear any Banjomusic but lots of Sireens whoopin it up...... and Savavedml riding with his Choke on all the over the Cherahola Sky way was not fun with him sucking fumes for 20 miles...... Lots of fun to be had by all Grin

It was a nice road...

Can't wait till the next trip. Next year I'm gonna try to mount the camera on my helmet. See how that works. I also took a video from one of the trips we took over the Skyway but it's kinda long. I'll try to put the video up somewhere. AL

Ice on the roads and 28 here in Tryon this morning. Reading this is making it hard on a fellow. If nothing else gets in the way, I plan to be out there and ride with you in June.
Iron Horse is another nice place to stay. There is a place I stayed just outside of Murphy a couple of months ago that would be a good rally point. Very convenient to DG and the Cherohala

Iron horse is nice I have stayed there twice.... but you gotta order your B-fast and dinner ahead of time and can get a bit pricy...

I prefer the GDeals gap resort . they got the grill abd you can and tentcamping is only 13 per night. two people can split that and make it real cheep vacation...... plus we know where the good showers are.
get up early and do the dragon before the crowd starts the go black lining for the rest of the day

Mick.
those roads are made for Miatas.... my dad was an avid dragon driver. you can play clean up. Put ya a trailer hitch on there and drag Versy out with ya then you can pick up the peices of the noobies who get out of there comfort zone.

$500 for the plane ride certainly looks better than a grand in gas.

Will certainly keep it in mind as we get closer.

Errr, that's not a new basket case is it? Shocked
