Endobob Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I am decidedly unmeetable, frankly. I'm what you'd get if you crossed Dr. Gregory House and Simon Cowell. A grouch. Don't get your hopes up! He throws up this written wall, but he's really all cuddly and jelly like inside. I never thought of David as "cuddly" or "jelly like". However, he is perhaps one of most knowledgeable and competent motorcycle riders I have ever met! Link to comment
johnlt Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Larry, I too should be there this year. I'm riding down from Cleveland with my Alaska ride buddy on a borrowed bike. I'll be bringing my "silver challice". See ya'll there, john Link to comment

Whip Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 That's more like it. Keep your hopes low and I'll be more likely to meet them. I'm a boring guy in real life. Hopefully Whip can step into that gap. The Gap? No. Whip's more of a Banana Republic kinda fella. Link to comment

Foot Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hey I was told today that Deals gap is closed due to a landslide. This maybe old news but it's the first I've heard of it. The guy I was talkin to lives there and said it might be June/July time frame before it opens. Alan Link to comment

OoPEZoO Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I heard that Mark got rid of his bike and bought a minivan. Thats not funny......just had it happen with a coworker. Sold his VFR and bought a new Honda Odyssey. Sad sad day Link to comment

Agreed, but there aren't many Harley parades on most of the roads I ride in that area. Hopefully they keep putting "Faster Time" in the GPS or using large scale maps Link to comment

Paul Mihalka Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 To continue the hijack: Our ancient Trooper is not a minivan, but almost as bad, a SUV. But it has Bilstein shocks, top Michelin tires, and 80/100w headlight bulbs. Now back to BRR... Link to comment

Matts_12GS Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 and near geocaches... I have thought about doing just that Tim... Build a nice garage, put about 15 power drops for battery tenders from the roof. Hmmm, just maybe... But NO free trailer parking! Link to comment

TyTass Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 of course. and the guest list starts with those who help us move in... Yeah, I too made that commitment ... but for me it turned into a question of being employed in the forseeable future. I just can't seem to take this job on the road with me ... yet! But, I too would love to live there. Good luck! (And yes, I'll come help you move in but I may never leave!) Link to comment

APDDave Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Just a thought, The Ga. BMW group is having its anual rally in Hiawassee, Ga. on this same weekend. It is only about an hour away and usually draws a pretty good crowd. Thought this might make for a side trip on a ride if anyone is interested.
