START - Maggie Valley Spring Tune-up Appalachian Riding Tour 2021

[Indy Dave]

NOTE: As of Feb 8th, the host hotel is SOLD OUT. There are a few rooms scattered around Maggie Valley - however -  another event is in Maggie that weekend, so I encourage you to be resourceful  and search both on-line, and also CALL individual motel/hotels. Calling locations to check on rooms may prove to be successful  - even when online a location shows full.  Also cabins and camping availability at: STONEBRIDGE RV RESORT Phone: 828-926-1904

 

 

 

Friday's group Dinner will be serviced by Appalachian Smoke BBQ from the Creekside Inn Parking area at 6:30pm

Well, instead of waiting until the last minute, I'll commit now.  Why?  Because I'll be retired and won't have to contend with work agendas.

[S.O.B.]

Michelle and I are signed up, Wednesday through Sunday.  Went "full fancy" this time and got a room with a Jacuzzi.  Not sure if this allows more or less Bourbon consumption.  

[KDeline]

Coming in Wednesday.

Party in Dan's room.

[wbw6cos]

When I announced that I was in, I failed miserably to include Laura in that posting.       After all, she did line up the room for us.  So, when you update your list...........

Why thank you! I've wanted to do just that for a few years now. 

 

You're not lost until you run out of of gas...

Shouldn't be a problem, I'm installing a peg lowering kit, bar risers, and a taller windshield. That'll definitely slow me down!

[wbw6cos]

WIKI shows that bike to have a top speed of 174.5 MPH.   Are you kidding me??   Dang, that is awesome! 

 

I thought BMW limited speeds on the road bikes.  (still a lot for me to learn about the brand.)

I thought it was 186... 170 wasn't difficult...

 

Laney and I had a pair of 2009 models when lawnchairboy (and the rest of the Clampet clan) came to Torrey. The Clampets and Laney and I took a long fast ride in some crappy weather. At the end of the day I gathered that chasing a K bike with an RT is no fun!

 

I'll be a long way from home this trip, and without the comfort of a truck and trailer. My riding will reflect that, but 2nd gear hits the limiter around 110.

This isn't your father's RT....

LOL. Wishful thinking. LOL

That means the bike in front is going at least that fast.  Just sayin'

I resemble that remark.  But my fondest memory of being strafed by K bike pilots is that day we met you and Laney on the Fish lake loop, we left ahead of you, made the left headed back for Torrey and I was climbing a hill on the RT, probably about a buck out there in the nothingness but two gleaming fast moving headlights caught my eye in the rear view.  I just moved to the Right and two white UFO's went by me like I was parked.  Loved it.

Laney was good inspiration!

Yes sir.

Bill - You're always welcome to join us, even if not on 2 wheels. You still have a LOT of wisdom, roadcraft and stories to share with me and others from all of your adventures! I'm hopeful we'll see you one way or another this Fall.
