Tonik Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Man, it just seems this winter time weather is beating the crap out of the region down there. So much damage and how its just continuing makes you wonder if they're going to get things all cleaned back up by riding season.Comparing costs between a ride to SD vs the Smokeys it was far cheaper going southward, but with this crap continuing down there this season might not be a good one for a Tenn ride, at least in or around the Smokeys, even as awesome as the area is. Man for the last couple of years the weather, overall, has sucked bigtime.They will get it fixed up by June. They always do. All of the damage is in NC and they depend on the bikers and cagers in the smokeys for money. They will toss everything they got at it. They always do.If you bail, consider the Ozarks. The scenery isn't as good but the roads are. Dirt cheap down there. Just go across 70 and just past St. Louis turn left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Punk Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I am officially out for this trip. Nephew Punk strikes again. No matter how I plead with him to make other wedding plans he seems to think it's too late to change them. I have no idea why they didn't check Ohio-Riders first before they started making their plans. Have fun and be safe everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Punk Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 i'll be in for full retard/hooligan ridesim also planning to buy a scooter soon, hopefully that works out. I want to pass people while riding a scooter.The gap is so much more fun on a scooter than a bike. I was passing cruisers going down hill with the 150 and passing sport bikes going down hill on the 250. No shifting just gas and brakes. The cruiser guys think it's funnier to get passed than the sport bike guys. The cruiser guys sit behind you and laugh when you go back up hill, some of the sport bike guys have to pass you back. I could ride the gap with just the scooter and not think I wasted my time going down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
