Martin Barrett Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 You saw the vid ......... Oh, if you still need more ... here's a vid of doing the Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap. It's 8 1/2 minutes long, and would have been worse--I mean longer--but my batteries died. Wayne Orwigs says if I went faster, they would have held up! ......... decal on my fuselage. Nice photos, thanks for the warning made a fresh cuppa for the perusal there of. I'm a bit taken a back by the chap with the radar detector who waved you by to spring the trap. But good call on the sixth sense. Don't assume all the LEOs will be at the RTC depending on how serious it is a few may have been assigned and then some cancelled when not required. I do this all the time depending on how reliable the initial report is. I've still half a cup of coffee left and no 8 1/2 minute video.

docc Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Three of the Raiders had not done the Gap and went while we wandered around the carnival at the Crossroads. I was surprised how soon they were back. Funny though, they didn't talk much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally the first job I had to assign this morning on sitting down at 6:45 was a fatal motorcycle accident. Really took the edge off my day, I'd only just commented on what a lovely day (weather wise) it was as we walked in from the car park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy york Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Glad somebody had the rain shot...you guys sipping grappa under the cabana... and I'm 40 miles away at 5000 ft riding through that shiiiit still had a good time I think the best part of this gathering is the fact that we go out and ride And not to forget that we have the best for capturing our events for posterity...our very own Edward Murrow ......Kathi and her sidekick BILL !! see ya on the road andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hagan Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 **** Remember this is a dry county. There is beer and such at the local grocery but if you desire grappa, good scotch or other serious libations, be advised : BYO. **** And, looks as if it will still be dry next year. Sigh. http://www.knoxnews.com/kns/local_news/art...5588675,00.html No doubt will soon be talk of hanging chads. I'm a big believer in "local option" . . . well, as long as they vote my way. Oh well, we seem to have wet the county down a bit by our visit! Regards from Atlanta, Bill P.S. Kathi says she wants to the Cherohala on Saturday. I said, nah, I had chores to do. Right! We think we (Kathi, Phillipe Combier--a Cafe' Sporter, and I) may have lunch at one of these places ... and probably Blue Waters ... if anyone is going to be near: http://www.cherohalacrossing.com/ [doesn't look "elegant," & may have the chaps set! :-) ] http://www.bluewatersmtnl.com/view.php?id=10 http://www.blueboarinn.com/finedining.html A possibility ... if we all have "better" deodorants!

docc Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 Again, I must say, we are in for a new venue next year. The Cracker Barrel is 'moving' and I believe it is good to have a restaurant ( breakfast, lunch and dinner) walking distance from the drinking, er, I mean, the, uh, place we park the bikes. I would also not miss the blue-light-and-siren infested 25 mile stretch of TN68. I still can't get my Aerostich clean from that last, er, circumstance.

docc Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 For 2008 South'n Spine Rahiders are looking for new digs. Do any of you have an opinion on Phillips Motel in Robbinsville, NC? phillipsmotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy york Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I have a problem with some of government employees that work in Robbinsville Well, I don't have a problem with them but they certainly don't like me oh well lets ride andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 No outstanding warrants? I hear Phillip's is a good place for motorcyclists, yet I'm still thinking there may be a better place. Especially if the group expands again. Input from the North Carolina and East Tennessee members is most respected. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
