Deal's Gap Trip

[LA]

Damn man!  Cool story.  That like makes you royalty or a direct descendant or something.

If you learned to ride the Appalachians you got just about as good a schooling as you can get.

Do ya miss us?  Hell, all a Texas ain't so bad is it.

Hate that I'm gonna miss it guys!

JM show them war woman if you can.

Oh and post up in MROC to see if any of the Charlotte or Raleigh area people can join.

Well I am ready for a ride to the dragon.

Well, guess I'll check on reservations tomorrow - looks like I'll try to stay at Deal's Gap Moto Resort since there will be other DMF'ers there (assuming there's availability). Will head out to Atlanta on Saturday and Birmingham on Sunday.

HA... every ride I go on here in TX... I want to shoot myself as soon as I get home... the only pleasure I get here on my bike is at trackdays...

If you're planning on being there during the week it shouldnt be a problem. weekends... maybe another story. When you get there tell Ben that Damien says hi and thanks again for use of his bike when i was there in October...

This was on his bike about 20 minutes after sitting on a cbr1k for the first time.

Update: Definitely making it there on the evening of 4/29, probably late as I'll  be leaving from New Orleans that AM. I have reservations for a motel room at Deal's Gap Moto Resort for the nights of 4/30 and 5/1. They were full for the night of 4/29, so if anyone has room for me to crash, I'd appreciate it, or I could just stay somewhere near Atlanta or something and come out early on 4/30. Also, they say the motel rooms can sleep 3-4 and I'm by myself, so if anyone needs a bed for 4/30 or 5/1, it's there.
Oh and my skills don't exactly compare to DLSGAP there ^^^^^ - we don't have turns where I live

I don't claim to have skills... I just hold my own and I've ridden ALOT in that area.

Just have a good head on your shoulders and don't try to keep up with anyone faster. And stay on your side of the road... lol

and look out for ANYONE crossing the yellow line.

and look out for ANYONE crossing the yellow line. 

I wouldn't know what you're talking about.. No one does that there ever...

I can neither confirm or deny what may have been about to happen in this photo

Don't follow the Repsol.

HA... As quoted on some parts at the tree of shame.. same bike... different rider

and look out for ANYONE crossing the yellow line. 

Yup.  A regular was hit a year or two ago by another bike, cruiser I believe that crossed the line.  I've got an animated GIF courtesy of Zeephoto of a sportbike crossing the like and sideswiping an SUV.  ALL types of vehicles are found on the wrong side.  Ride with enough of a skill buffer to play dodge-car/bike/SUV

HA... As quoted on some parts at the tree of shame.. same bike... different rider

Yup.  I'll assume the part was referring to following Ben's Repsol & just goes to further the "ride your own ride" bit ~

[DLSGAP]

Yeah it was in reference to Ben's repsol... well, one of them actually.. he has two... he was gracious enough to let me borrow one (as seen on photos) while i was in the area visiting family in october and was forced to cage it up there.

Side note....  even though it has a little more body roll than the GTI, the VW Tiguan was a blast up there

Well, I'm resurrecting the thread because the trip's getting close! 
Again, anyone who wants to join, I've got room in my room at Deal's Gap Moto Resort for 4/30 and 5/1.
Can't wait to  [moto]
