2talltim Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) 9 minutes ago, what said: Would be pretty hard to get one on a Grom. I would probably frame it as an achievement. That trooper told me and @JustinNck1 that the crack down has just begun. Locals are tired of loud pipes and the speeders. Said they are going to be doing more patroling and even doing check points on the weekends checking equipment, license and safety. Ill take my tourism money else wear. Was i on the wrong? yes, but seems like it's only going to get worse. Aka "the dragon" type patrols.

I've passed them going 45 before knee down and they didn't give a shit. If you cross yellow or are being dangerous, they will throw the book at you though. If that's true about GA then Blood Mountain is going to be a real shit show the way people ride up through there. I doubt the back roads will be bothered with much though, not enough $$ for manpower.

Have fun Hahaha sorry Dan, I didn’t even realize you were planning to hit the road in these area again. In my mind you never gonna hit the tarmac here or in deals gap area and most likely out of US altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Seems like people are gonna be staying different locations based on good deal they can find. There is no base camp in one location if I assume right? There are lot of B roads in the gap area too that are not monitored. I think it’s worth the trip down there if you get 3-4day off days. Variety is the spice of roads in Moto cuisine. WV and SEO roads we can do any solo days/ or weekend 2day schedule. And yes they are equally impressive. In fact the ride down and back from gap is well worth the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thompsonian Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 We shall see. With the new house, my budget is tight as a banjo string. And I'm still trying to figure out the cause of my dizzy spell last June. But I'm hopeful to be on the bike more this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theroamr Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Since we have at least a few people staying at Fontana it may be a good meet point in mornings and a place to party 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Is there a big enough place where we can all get together for lunch or dinner Saturday? Saturday seems to be the day that almost all the folks are there. @snot @Helmutt any way u guys can make it there by weekend ahead? At Fontana, Do you think they will will allow outsiders to hang around in camp fire and stuff with the few folks that already booked there?
