WD:

Here is the synopsis of what is happening:

Tuesday June 17th, Oldfeller and Lancer arrive at MM's and set up tent, etc
Wednesday June 18th, road trips and shooting
Thursday, June 19th, road trips and shooting
Friday, June 20th, Jack Daniels whiskey sipping tour
Saturday, June 21st, Bike Rally day
Sunday, June 22nd, break camp and head towards Blue Ridge Campground

http://www.blueridgemotorcyclecamp.com/

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

My schedule for the event wont begin until Thursday June 19th when I arrive at MM's. On Friday June 20th I believe we will do some easy riding and take a Jack Daniels tour, and just ride/play all day. On Saturday there is a local bike show in a town near where MM lives and I plan on entering my bike in the show, then likely more riding and foolishness. Sunday we break camp and head to the Blueridge, and some will be on bikes and some will be using trucks and trailers. Then on Monday, Tuesday, there will be as much riding around the Blueridge area as folks would like. One of the roads that I want to ride again is a 30 mile of Route 32 that Oldfeller took me to last year. It is just like the Dragon only twice as long, and we only saw one car on the entire stretch. The last couple of miles is gravel, and I believe we could ride the 30+/- miles.....then stop and take a snack break.....then turn around and ride it again on the way out! I am not good at posting things....but go to Google Maps and use these coordinates to find the road: 35.78474 -83.158607. If you go east you can see the last bit is not paved, pretty curvey and steep, washboardy in the curves, and pretty much a 1st gear roadway. The rest of the road was freshly paved last year. The other days we will just get up and see what mood everyone is in and ride what we feel like riding.

If you could bring that new bike of yours......we could spend some time helping put some miles on it. You will enjoy the Wheels of Time museum, my wife and I went in the fall. Lots of bikes that run....not just shiny museum pieces. And the owner is a rider......and tinkerer.....

On the way out Wednesday June 25th most likely I will stop at the Dragon and unload my bike and spend an hour or two there.....just cause it is on the way home for me! Grin

Then the earth swallows them down to the fire pit , and the rest of them go on to the promised land. Be carefull out there ! eternal is a long time !

ToyMaker !

Good to know your still Kicking

Some of the fellers are comming to my house for a Shoot-N-Sccot

Your more than welcome ! I'm about a 6 hour ride west of the Dragon Proper. Its bike rally weekend in Lynchburg Tn. and we'll go do the JackDaniels tour one of the days

Then we're going to the Blue Ridge campground (foot of the parkway ) for the rest of the week.

Seems Dave knows a few roads we havn't found before.

We're not all driving S-40's or Savages either , I'm on my second Sportster now. (OldFeller claim's credit for the first one !)

Toymaker, do you still get away some? Read about the trip, the second part is the Blue Ridge cabins which is not far at all from where you live.

The ridding will be slower paced and part will be the Poker run Saturday (Rally Day). I hope to back-road it to some of the perty places in the area Thursday,Friday. Then go by Falls Creek Falls park , Hwy 30 , and the Skyway on the way east Sunday. Wink

It might be a bit early to worry about details....but I will have my car and trailer at MM's, then loading the bike back into the trailer for the trip to the Blueridge. While you guys are driving the scenic route.....I will be taking the direct route and can haul your cots, coolers, etc., and if old_rider and misses old-rider haul their bikes up....they could probably do the same.....and maybe Lancer to? Maybe MM will be the only one riding his bike over to the Blue Ridge Campground?

Reply #355 - 04/14/14 at 13:29:16 I will not be able to make the ride this summer. Every bike is suffering mechanical break-down on some order and cost of repair is mounting. Right now it is going to be a struggle to keep wheels on the road, much less travel & play. Will miss you guys and play time.

Change, she comes .... just like on every planned outing we have ever done. This will trim a bit off the front of the MM portion of the trip as Dave isn't showing up until the 19th, so I will plan to hit on the 18th now to help with the set up.

The 2014 Spring trip starts June 18th and runs through June 25th

The trip contains two sections, first section is MM's farm and the second section is the Blue Ridge Motorcycle Campground.

Google map/directions location for MM's farm is 219 M and M Ranch road, Lynchburg Tn 37352

Tuesday June 18th, Oldfeller arrives at MM's and helps set up tent top, etc.
Thursday, June 19th, road trips and shooting
Friday, June 20th, Jack Daniels whiskey sipping tour
Saturday, June 21st, Bike Rally day
Sunday, June 22nd, break camp and head towards Blue Ridge Campground

http://www.blueridgemotorcyclecamp.com/

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 ....

Committed (pending vacation approval, work schedule and other "out of our control circumstances")

MMRanch lives there
Oldfeller 18th
Dave 19th
old_rider & 19th
missus_old_rider.
Zar when he can
Verslagen TBD
Toymaker TBD

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

I will be at MM's sometimes on the 18th to help him set up whatever needs setting up. Dave will show up on the 19th. We will get all civilized & proper acting when Old-rider & the Missus shows up on the 19th.

(who knows, we might all mebbe even take a shower and get all the IMR 7383 ammonia powder stink out of our hair)

S' ok OF, she likes guns.... she has a .38 special +P Smith&Wesson Airweight (hammerless)

We are having a hard time getting her some practice ammo, most are bought out by the time we get to the stores (guess I gotta suck up to the store managers). All I have been finding for my 9mm's are hollow points... no full metal Jackets for practice to be found.

Not sure if she wants to bring hers, but she usually carries on trips so it is possible she will bring it, even tho we probably won't be practicin' with them.

P.S. um and she has been know to curse like a sailor when she is unhappy....LOL...

Reply #358 - 04/15/14 at 21:29:30 The only ammo in good supply is air rifle and surplus millitary type. Even powder and primers are getting hard to find . Must be part of the Goverment Plan ! No Joke ! Can't revolt with-out ammo ! Does kinda makes me wonder ?
