My XB is missing mirrors, signals, reflectors, a headlight, bodywork, non DOT tires, and god knows what else. I still rode it 2500 miles to Wisconsin and back for Homecoming |

The 50s are, believe it or not, street legal, as long as there are headlights, tail lights, and a brake light. As long as it's 50cc or less, no tag or motorcycle endorsement required. True Grits is a 50cc race from T.W.O. been going on for 28 years. http://www.champsclock.com/50cc.htm This year it'll be on the 30th |

I'm gonna try...but reading above, does it look like camping at TWO isn't an option? |
Glitch

Why wouldn't camping be an option? That's the only option that needs no reservation. We had well over 100 people camping during March Badness, no one had a reservation. You'd need a reservation for a room, or the trailer out back. Char, cabins would be nil, unless someone decided to not show. There's so much going on cabins have been taken for quite some time. Hotels in Dahlonega may be your only choice to be nearby if you don't want to camp. Hotels near Dahlonega |

Campside at TWO by the creek is the place to be- set things up, clear the bags, head over the mountain to Wallyworld for beer and grillables (but not too much to miss TWO food, worth the $$$), you're SET. Char- keep me posted on how you're setting up your CityX, I'm curious- also, have you installed a set of bar risers? Makes a HUGE difference in comfort, cheap and easy!

When will you be coming through Nashville, Charlotte? I'll wrangle up Barker, Hargis, Tom, CCRyder, Buelltours, and a few other Buellers for dinner. Wednesday night maybe? |

Nope... the plan is to try for an Iron Butt that Friday... October 8th... the weekend BEFORE BTF... see the Iron Butt thread on a proposed route... if there is weather or mechanical issues will decide in Louisville KY to head through Tennessee... so I would be looking for possibly a place to stay Fri the 8th or Sat the 9th eve...
