Chuckles, what happened? Seems I heard Dale got the ax/shaft in an unfortunate circumstance, then different folks started running things, somewhat antagonistically towards their most $$$ lucrative clientele (BIKERS). FWIW. I've spent money there, no one hassled me- or treated me unkindly. |

It doesn't help that there's almost always a handful of gravel there either. Me too. |

I'm trying to move things around so that I can get the weekend off and make it to MB-VI. Will there be any ECMSpy guru's there? I have the cable and have downloaded the software. I just need to learn to use it. |

Aint that "Gixxer Corner"? I LOVE that turn and ALL of 60 to/from Suches. I have found an UNBELIEVABLE alternate route south to GA, gonna try to gather some folks to run in en route to MBVI!! It has NOTHING to do with the Dragon, but is every bit as fun with none of the negatives. |

It looks like I won't be able to make MBVI... That is the end of the quarter, and I won't be able to get any vacation time. But I am going to do my best to make it to Buelltoberfest! <-- bummed... |

I rode across 180(Wolf Pen Gap) today and there was so much gravel that it wasn't even enjoyable 129 is pretty clean though. Another one of my favorites is 75 North of Helen. Why don't I ever hear people mentioning it though? Anyway, I'm excited to meet and ride with you all. I'll see you soon! Ryan |

Good recon, Christiankid- the more road condition posts we can have previous to the travel date, the better. Deals Gap has been polluted with salt lately- watch the Cherohala for that stuff too. Keep yer fiongers crossed for great weather! Whats the countdown? |

TWO should have a BBQ pit- can't think of a more motivated bunch to keep 24/7 eyes on the prize. Any BBQ teams/techniques that might be effective and relatively kind to the land? Digging big holes may not be necessary. |

Due to the abundance of pine trees in Georgia, pit fires are frowned upon by the rangers. I'm not sure if they are forbidden, but they are frowned upon. Due to this, TWO may disallow a pit fire. It would never hurt to ask though!! |

I may not be coming after all. I have a guy coming to look at the bike this weekend. If sold, I will be sans Uly but ready to purchase as soon as funds are available. |

There is a glimmer of hope that I might make it... If my time off gets approved, I will be up there Weds night or Thurs afternoon, staying until Sun night or Mon morning. Anyone heard from Djkap?? |

Anyone heard from Djkap?? no... The story about dales? Long story short... Dale had some health issues and lost the station. The station was taken over by the owners son, a well known Motorcyclist/Biker HATER. There was tension from the family that owned the station because Dale catered to Motorcyclists/Bikers is the pretty much the back story. Really sad too, Dale was just trying to make a living. |

Boycot Not Dale's, ride to walmart buy food,gas up and cook at TWO. There, fixed that for ya. Charlie got everyone to call it "Not Dale's" I have to admit though, I have bought gas there, but I really didn't have much choice at the time. |
