And...I won't have to be the "new" guy and do all the "new guy duties" , i'll be able to hang with the ol' farts table....or do I have to make two or more trips to do that?

Fist of all.....we are not the "Old Farts".....we are the "Senior Members"!

Second of all....it was only my 2nd time......so I was the New Guy until you showed up. Everyone else in attendance has been going for years.

Thirdly.....You will remain the Noob until someone Noobyer comes along to bump you out of that position. Grin

What days for next summer?

We took the week ending in Fathers Day last time and it caused some folks to have to cut out early. Weather was actually clearer the week before, so you wanna shoot for the full week ending before Father's Day week?

That would be Saturday June 7th through Sunday June 15th as the full week "wide band" time. Once we knew when folks could finish their "travel from afar" the more local folks could aim to hit them when they arrive.

So, Verslagen and Serowbot need to figure up their first leg meet up, then Lancer chimes in, then WD finishes the Conjoined Trip In to MM's place, then on to Paradise, where the roads are real curly and them silly porky Hurleys jest fall over when you look at them crooked.

Reply #18 - 08/06/13 at 22:39:54 The Saturday (Day before) Fathers Day will be a good day to be in Lynchburg TN. And The earlier we meet the less waiting is involved (allways a good thing) ! If we had somewhere in the deep south to go March would be OK .

OK, you got folks going to stage car and trailer at MM's place. You got folks who are taking the full extended week and are going to roam wild and free for some of it and travel from here to there in some of it.

You got others who will come into play later on up at the Dragon proper. It does sound like we have enough people going this time out to take an apartment at the Dragon Lodge on the days we are there if that's what folks want to do.

MM has extended an invitation to stay at his place as well. We already got the majority of the players staging at MM's place on the way in and on the way out. We got like a 9 day span to stuff in all this travelling and going and doing (with the far travellers likely adding in a few on each end for travel time, or using some of the 9 as the case may be).

So we need to plot out travel time in, MM recovery/staging time on the inbound leg, Dragon days in the middle, MM stage time on the outbound leg and travel time back out.

Start with the inbound folks with their travel plans, and somebody nudge Serowbot and get him to chime in, he started this process up after all and he's been awful quiet lately .......

Well ....

The house only has one extra bedroom ... but Roll Eyes

two bathrooms

If I was to put up a shelter tarp out by the fire pit (say 16 X 12 or so) there would be a dry sheltered place to put 7 or 8 cots . I have two (one extra) . So who else has a cot ?

Fire pit and sitting wall on the right , one of the picknick tables in center behind flowers, rimfire range on past that !

I got it...

I'd love to, but I can't ...
I just updated the Dragon sticky to allow for y'all to start planning...
If my circumstances change,.. it's a possible,.. I just can't plan that far ahead...
That would make me the 'Noob"... What's that entail?... cooking, dishes, wash the bikes?...

PS... really nice to know I'd be so welcome... Wink

You actually fail the classification of "newbie" because you have been around too long. The newbie is the one who reports truthfully what we really do on these trips. Newbies don't know any of the old stories and simply chronical the truth.

When old-rider said he cracked his vertebra he was telling the truth. What nobody wants to believe is that every dragon story we have ever told is true .... exaggerated a bit mebbe, but true in the basic facts.

The REX stories all would have been true too, if he hadn't kept popping his stitches and busting all his brackets.

So you have to find a better reason than "being afraid of being the newbie" for not going.
Especially if Verslagen is going to come to your house and pick you up and carry you there in a nice air conditioned vehicle .....

I don't own a Savage any longer but will bring my honda Sabre, any objections? My buddy is interested as well, he has a Sporty 1200, I know how much you guys love to eat them up.

SuperSavage

I brought my Sportster 1200 on one of these rides and the fellers were nice enough to wait-up on me ever so offten ! Not that I can't ride .... but in the twisties "nimble" is everthing ! Tongue

But we have to have lunch somewhere so bring that sportiee on ! and your Sabre too ! Grin

I've got a Sportster 883 now (Lancer and OldFeller took such big bites out of my 1200 I had to get rid of it). Grin

Those Sportsters sure are nice on the interstate Wink

with a little of the fun stuff thrown in.

Need to save that 800A for the Dragon, mine outhandled my Savage w/o breaking a sweat.

I'd take it off your hands, but I'm beyond broke. No paycheck since February.

If I have money and a running ride for the Dragon, I'll be there. If not, I won't. Have to see how harvest goes this year, money crop looks like it will hit big, so may have some spending money come spring time. Even the pocket change crops (walnuts, hickory, persimmon) are hitting this year.
