Anyone comming from West of Middle TN or from Texas or  Mississippi or Kanas and the like   can leave their tow vechile here if your using one.   The Dragon area is only 5 hrs. east of here .   I know two fun ways to get there so we doin't have to see the same road again on the way back. .    
Also  the law enforcement  in TN. ain't no worse than most other places ,  I usually run 5-to-8 mph over the posted and haven't had a problem (yet) !      Just ride like ya got good sense and there ain't no problem.     I'll admit to loossing my good sense a time or two while running the Dragon but most of the time I'll drive my stopping/sight  distance wether thats the speedlimit or not , (like on blind hills and such) ya never know when there might be a cow in the road around here !  

Dave you got any idea of what time of day you might get here ?  (Day Trip planning).   I have three adopted daughters and three days to ride local "Day Rides".    The one Saturday will be the poker-run , the one Friday will be a shorty becouse of Jack-Daniels tour , and the one Thursday has to be local so we can check in with the latest arivials.  I'd like to put some Ribs or the like on the grill at least one of the days .  

I'll be off work the whole week and hope to have 10-20 of you fellers show-up ... The more the better , there ain't no shortage of room.        

      Ok, boys .... first one to take out just his tail light wins .....





Seriously now, all you folks who have been wishin' & wantn' to go but were afraid of the hairy dangerous mountain riding thang --- this is your trip.

We ain't in the mountains, we are in civilization and we had durn well better act that way or MM gets into TROUBLE (deep deep trouble) from his missus.    

She might give us all detention, you can never tell about these school admin people.

We ain't a gonna do a Toymaker on him, so we will all be behaving better than you have EVER seen us behave before.   EVER.

So, this is your trip, them of you that think our standard trip might be too much of a good thing.

Chirp up and say you are going.

This year the first few days will be at MM Ranch's house somewhere in Tennessee....I have not figured out excactly where yet.

Then we will move on to the Bluegrass Motorycle Campground in Waynesville, North Carolina.....about 1.5 hours from the Dragon which is on US 129 at the Tennessee and North Carolina border, about 1 hour south of Knoxville, Tennessee.

Re-post of trip as planned so far -- we are 6 months out from the trip and some of us need to be thinking about reserving the vacation time.

Monday-Wednesday June 23-25, ride the neat roads Dave found then find your way on home.

Since there are no rooms to reserve ('cept for those going to the Blue Ridge and those you reserve yourselves) we don't need to be doing a lot of extra planning beyond what we got right here.

You show up for what parts you like and you leave when the itch strikes you ....


===============


I will be at MM's in the afternoon on the 18th to help him set up whatever needs setting up.   Dave will show up on the 19th.  


....  It would be nice if we all told MM when we were showing up so as host he can plan for our arrival.   How many and when likely will play some against the trips that he plans and the assorted eating type stuff.

Well Old Rider

I'll go ya even one better ... ....  How about an extention cord  so ya doin't have to run the generator all night (course you can try it out all ya want too ).   or    at least till she kicks ya out and runns ya off to the barn. !  

MMRanch:

I think we made Hobo Stew when I was in scouts.  It was potatos, carrots, onions and meat wrapped in tinfoil and put in the coals to cook.

Makes wonder what we could cook up there on the cylinder head while running the Blueridge Parkway?

Dave

Yiup! go us one of those, with the fancy furry suede side up! Fits just right between the humps of the bed of my truck! Luxury at its finest, yehaww!

Still ain't played with the generator just yet... was thinkin' about the bucket of water trick and a flexable exhaust hose.

O-yea fellers

I've got two of the air pumps for those things.  Hooked up one way the plow up and the other way they take air out ( makes those things fit back in the box good).   Hopefully I'll be able to find at least one of them !  

Having the home advanatge I"m going with a millitary surplus cot.
