Unless you go during the week, Deal's on the weekend is too crowded to go too fast. Heck, last time I was there, some squid was try to drag a knee in every corner where he was slowing down to 20mph for the turns. I rode mostly with one hand folllowing the jerk. The Cherohala (sp?) was more fun but the surface was not that good. There are better less known twisties than Deal's if you want to push it.

yea us-28 is even better and almost zero traffic,

I'm local, this is a better road

I took the tail to go to tenn.in my mini van last weekend. I can say that it scared me, I saw five crashes in the one hour i was on the road mostly coused  by goldwings I'm not sure why those guys would go to the tail.
Ok think of it they have 750-900lb. bikes they are trying to wip in and out for 11 miles that has to be hard. They don't want to slow down and  let the sport biike pass, it makes them feel old or something.

I'll be out there but everyone  be carefull. Stay in your lane

So, does that mean you'll be at the rally? 

dgyver
it really depends on the week end, last weekend wasn't all that bad.

I might try to make it, depending on how my schedule looks.  It's a considerable drive for me, so I don't know yet.

Count me in for sure

If its a sunday, im in. Anyone coming in thru Asheville, let me know, we can meet up at my place, its right off 40. Bathroom break, lol.

i really want to head that way......my room mate and i may just do that

Alright!  Now we're gettin' somewhere.  We only need 20 or 30 more people to go!!   

I can probablly get a few of my non-GS friends to come too.

I checked at my PT job and 2 people are going to be on vacation that Sunday. I am still going to see if I can get off that whole weekend. My g/f may join me on the 97, if I get the 92 finished enough to ride.

Right now, it's going to be me on my GS, my brother-in-law on his Sportster, my cousin on his Nighttrain, and his buddy on his soft tail.  I'm coming over from Gatlinburg Saturday AM and staying in Fontana until Sunday.

I'm officially out.  I'm going to LA for at least 2 weeks, and perhaps 3.5 months.  It's overlapping the Gap trip.

I'm out.   for now.  I am working on Alabama's title laws. 

Check your PM.  Buy a clean frame

I am out. Not a good time being the weekend before the 4th, others had vacations already planned.

Bump, c'mon...time's running out.

what state is it in?

NC and TN I think it's easier to get to from the nc side, just depends on how your coming.

Bunch of stupid questions:

1)  Where are we meeting?

2)  What time are we meeting?

3)  Whole weekend thing or one day?  If so, what are we going to do other than ride the dragon?

4)  Hotels suggestions or group camp-out?
