2talltim Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Ran into an old friend down here last night and he said 60 and 68 from 129 to telico has mostly been repaved. Also said the good parts of 28 from Franklin to 74 have been paved. I might check out that bit today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 The good parts of 28 between 74 and franklin have been freshly paved. But I suspect on a hot day it will be greasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Just a liiittttle bit of body roll But I tell you what for the big heavy girl she is, she handled very nicey on those roads. Used the paddle shifter on the console A LOT. Even keep up with a group of Focus ST's that were railing around. Just kept telling the wife "if you get sick just remember it's your car" Edited May 29, 2018 by 2talltim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 For those who are riding down, what day are you going down, and what day? @thompsonian and I will be rolling south Wednesday and arriving at Townsend that evening. I am between a couple routes right now, just unsure if I wanna do a 500+ mile day of twisties on the way down, or add some slab and get there quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Lookin like I may be solo trailering down with my 2 bikes. Anyone want to ride down with me? I have to ability to squeeze up to 5 sport bikes on the trailer and I have a suburban big enough to haul all the gear. And no, I won’t haul your shit down solo.

max power Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 If I don’t find a couple people to ride down and back with me, I will be tossing the Xr650 in the back of my Toyota. Don’t want to foot the 12 mile per gallon gas bill by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone bringing wives or special lady friends? Are there things to do in Townsend and will there be people there to do them with? My wife is actually able to go this year and I want to make sure that if she does go she won’t be bored while I’m out playing motorcycles all day. If not I may have to bring her back down because she stuck in that vacation = beach mode. She needs to see the majesty of the mountains. And before it’s mentioned, she’s not real interested in riding around on the back of my bike all day. Few diners in town along with some fast food itself. There's a big place that does tubing down the river. If you head east you can do a drive through Cades Cove. I would avoid it in a car (unless you have a lot of time to kill)on a bike if it gets busy you can split traffic. Cade's Cove gets busy once people have bear sightings and stop for pictures. Gatlinburg and pigeon forge are both relatively close. Can always head to Pigeon forge for dinner if you want to get out of Townsend. May check the Townsend events and see if theirs anything to do. The Townsend event center is 5 mins from the hotel. Edited May 31, 2018 by rawlins87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t pass 10 cars at a time. If you do that you have a small squad of armed park rangers suround you in the guest center parking lot.
