Plates are LNRGRI will certainly be looking for you, I am staying at the Deals Gap Resort, I should get there on Tuesday.A white and blue Buell 1125R, or a blue Suzuki SV1000S, I think the Z1000 is staying home, if not it is white and orange, the Buell and the Suzuki are going for sure.

LoneRanger Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Link... I'll be doing some dual sport riding on Tuesday on a rented KLR650. Wed I'm headed for Highlands down 28 and may do Cherhola over to Telico and back. Thursday I head for Little Switzerland by way of the BRP and over night in Boone. Friday it's 421 all the way to Lexington. Saturday will see me home. I'll come down to the resort Tuesday evening on the ST after I get the dirt off me.

LINK Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 That sounds like we will certainly cross paths somewhere, I am not sure the exact routes and what days, I am meeting a rider from VA, and he is mapping our trips, I won't know till I get there, but I do know we will be seeing some of the same roads.Little Switzerland and the Asheville area, along with 421, will be the following week for me.I should be riding Wayah Road with some riders from FL, MI, and VA on Wed., at least that is what I think is planned?

Tonik Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 So I'm headin down this weekend, I'm hearing storys of cops having random checkpoints set up checkin for regisration and insurance and lisence and safety inspecting bikes. Anyone have first hand experience? we have a group of 30 or so not all have their endorsmentI was down last week, went all over the place. I saw no checkpoints anywhere. Cops were out a lot though, and they flew a few people out on the weekend. So with that many injuries this early in the season the cops are not going to have much of a sense of humor.And be careful, maybe I am getting old but I swear I have never seen bikes going so fast through the dragon as I did on this trip. I move along pretty fast and don't get passed very often..but people were blowing my doors off left and right. And they were not very good at it, lots of over the yellow line crap going on.

Mick783 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 We went last year and stayed at the Grand Vista Hotel in Vonore, not far from 75 or the dragon. Had a great time can't wait to go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelstoker Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I like staying at Fontana village in the cabins if I'm making a trip out of it.However, now that I've moved I like staying at my house and riding over. It's only a 3 hour trip +1 on Fontana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Don't stay at Fontana if you have dogs with you. I think they wanted almost $400 of which 300 was a security deposit. We slept in the van instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
