Well, it's in the play book.
Not sure I will bring the wife this trip, she enjoyed most of the last one (Buelltoberfest). She wasn't too impressed with Danny's get off and me consuming too muc...... nevermind all of that.
I didn't like having to trailer her bike there, but it was nice to have the 'rolling command center' available for later in the evening.

So, Vern- looks like you and me starting the effort from E.TN! Quextion-
Camp or cabin? (Budget probably sez camp!) Having refuge from the weather last March was super nice though...
I told Darren recently that buying a Buell would "save his life"- you know what I'm talking about; he was riding that Road King WAY too hard last time. He's a rider in need of a REAL handling bike... maybe he can join us!

Hey Micah!! Let's hatch plans to configure the back lot for some SERIOUS BBQ'ing around the campfire- been watching too many cooking shows on TV lately...

Man, hating this Bad Weather we've been having lately keeps me thinking about the new year and the expected festivities- not to mention I'd rather think about good stuff instead of all the negative stuff!
I've got time between now and the mass migration of us Buellers down to Suches to plan some stuff. Year before last (MBIV) and my first time down there, I managed to get my kitchen guru at the Shed to put on breakfast/brunch for those traveling thru on Thursday- mebbe we can do that again, a mass pit-stop down here in Mur-Vil.
One caveat, I should add- I'd dearly LOVE to lead a more meandering route to TWO from Mur-Vil that DID NOT involve the Dragon. Too much po-po there, and WAY overrated considering the abundant goodness of all the roads leading to our destination.
Who's in? I know it's a long way off, just gauging interest...

I don't know what's going on this year. With Cameron (Clown) gone, and just about everyone he hired, SMHD&Buell is just about a totally different dealership. They had a meeting, but I decided not to work this March Badness, I figured I've missed out on enough fun in the passed five years, that this year I wanted to be one of the folks just showing up for the fun, rides, and laughs. I don't even know if Vin (Stani) is still doing their marketing. One can only hope!

Hey Brad, we will probably have to wait to hear from some local members who are having to heal up one way or another. Cabin was sweet, but if'n it don't rain camping was much more fun! Sorry Mark, George, Darren, and spouses!)
I would like to see that breakfast meeting at Smoky Mountain HD again. It was a great meet with good hot food and fun group ride to TWO.
I second the ride a different route to Suches. We have so many available to us it is a shame to hit the same path over and over(not that it isn't fun!) But then, I know several out of town riders want to see the Dragon up close.
