TWO is now closed and will never reopen. The bum that had a lease on the property has not paid his rent for two years and the contract has been pulled. The property will be donated to the county. So I am told by a friend who lives in the area. |

That's awful. I thought Brit and GT had the lease. It was someone else? Who owns the land? |

Interesting, as Britt and GT Turner are shown as the owners on the tax records. Let's hope that TWO is not closed. Maybe someone from the 3%er's will chime in with some info. |

Two Wheels Only. It's an awesome campground down by the Dragon, and it really really sucks if they're closed for good. Hope it ain't so.... |

is the Dragon closed down because of storm damage? If so was that the reason might be closing? I've never been there but I have always wanted to go and ride the roads in the area. I hope it's closing is only temporary. |

TWO is no where near the Dragon. The Dragon was closed due to rock slide. |

First I've heard of it. They did have legal issues a few years back, but not over this sort of thing. As far as I know Brit & GT OWN T.W.O. so there would be no lease. Where did this news come from? |

Ashley and I were just talking the other day about Buelltoberfest. I hope it's still on and will be at TWO. |

US 129 is closed from the rock slide at the north end of "the Dragon", but you can still ride the Dragon from the NC side. You just have to turn around and ride it twice. Not such a bad thing. County businesses in NC got TN to agree to this after a while, to keep their tourism alive. |

Sure doesn't look that way here... I was concerned when I looked at their FB page earlier; no recent posts. I called earlier and didn't get an answer, or leave a message, figured they already have some. Just now though, I see they posted an hour ago. I feel better. |

I still want to know where this came from. I've not been able to get in touch with Brit or GT, but let me assure you, that's not abnormal. Buelltoberfest is still on. The first weekend of October. Unless GT tells me different, T.W.O. will still be the HQ. |

The bum that had a lease on the property has not paid his rent for two years and the contract has been pulled. By calling GT a bum, I'm hoping it's because you thought this rumor was true, and you were upset a Major Motorcycle Landmark could be lost forever. I certainly wouldn't call GT a bum. A grouchy old man perhaps... |

Perhaps one of the moderators should change the title of this thread to "rumor TWO closed" so that people don't assume it's the gospel. |

Irony? Brit and GT are from San Francisco, and used to be chefs there. |

"I heard it on the internet so it must be true" I guess I'm dead, but don't know it yet... Enough Buell riders have been by this season to have dispelled that rumor. Hey Slipnot, I don't think your friend is such a good friend...What's his problem???? Buellish, I guess all those Big Ass Burgers you've been eatin' every week are just a figment of your imagination... Glitch, don't give grouchy old men a bad name
