Tonik Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Final routes and hotels are being worked on and will be posted soon. I will update this post when it is done. But I wanted to get the basics up here asap so peeps can plan their vacation time. Dates: October 15 - 18. Saturday through Tuesday. Meet spot is just off 77 near Beckley at noon on Saturday the 15th. BP Gas Station. 2001 Robert C Byrd Dr MacArthur, WV 25873 We are going Nomad for this one. Basic plan is roll out of Beckley at Noon the 15th and head south. Then across a bit of the BRP, 209/212 to Maggie Valley. From there we will zig zag towards Franklin. South..jog west...north...jog west...south and roll through Highland area. Then hit the northern edge of GA for Warwoman and Blood Mnt and all that. Back up through the skyway and the dragon. Then Jim and Joe's epic Damn Dam Route through TN and KY to Lexington. Then probably slab home, or 62 to Cbus if time permits. Nomad might sound tough but it isn't. Just like the epic ride we break up into groups, meet for lunch and at the hotel that night. It's really no different than one spot other than trailers will not work and you won't be able to pack 87 billion peeps in one cabin. Routes and hotels will be posted soon. Confirmed going: @Tonik @ScubaCinci @JustinNck1 @Mach Retard Expressed interest: @what @rawlins87 @CBBaron Expressed an interest but in their own group because they are whinny bitches about not being listed in a group: @2talltim Going in spirit only, due to injury. @Tpoppa Not going because they suck: @Casper @cmh_sprint @Hellmutt @snot Edited September 12, 2016 by 2talltim Changed rollout date from 18th to 15th, more details on meet spot 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer this to 1 location. How many miles per day are you thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd add to the stable at this point, not take away lol. Trumpet isnt worth selling, I wouldnt get what I want out of it with it having 31k on it even though its had all of the work done.

Sounds like you are due to add to the stable then, and let the Triumph become a track bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 If you and I make this trip bring a for sale sign with you. I'll let you ride the 14 for a spell and you be ready to throw that sign on the bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
