What Chad said! And lack of planning is pretty much every motorcycle trip for me! lol |

I think the point of TWO is to be laid back. Exactly. My brain was just to tired to find that phrase last night |

I've been going to T.W.O. for somewhere around 25 years. I love the place, I love the people. The area can't be beat either. If it's not for you, or you feel inconvenienced, sorry, there's other accommodations in the area. It's the lack of organization, and agenda that glues the 3%ers together, that's one reason T.W.O. is the only choice. |

"It's a very cool place...but again, it ain't Embassy Suites. More like your weird uncle's place - you know, the one the family doesn't talk about much, but is really really cool once you meet him" LOL, you nailed it Joe!!! Looking forward to October- the weather here has finally changed, feels a LOT like it will in a month, camping... I'd go riding, but my Shovel decided to lay down on my ankle night before last- BAD sprain. LOOK OUT for wet grass, youn's... |

As long as the weird uncle isn't also a peeping tom I am cool with it... I can't wait either !!! Last night I had on two jackets and long underwear riding home from a friends house. I have to look into some heated gear soon... anyone got any ideas... I would probably be a small to xtra small mens or med womens... Let me know! |

Hey Char- check in with two good friends of mine, they run a D/S outfitter shop down the road from me in Friendsville: www.dualsporttouring.com Megan and Francois. They are uber-gearheads, and super cool peeps to boot. If they can help, they will, if they can't, will direct you to someone who can. They sell Stebel horns for cheep too- get yourself one of them while you're at it. |

I gotta give you a call JB. I am trying an Iron Butt SS1000 on the way down (October 8th or 9th) and if it does not happen that way I will want to stop in the Knoxville area and play around there a few days... You got room to crash? How far is Vern from Knoxville? You are about 16 miles from downtown? You don't still have your flesh colored friend from Homecoming down there, right? |

Since I'm not your uncle and my name is not Tom, I guess it's ok if I do some peeping. LOL! |

Really? You will be sorry... I can damn-close-to-guarantee it. I have spoken to base at Chapel Hill, NC and I will arrive in RTP area between Friday Oct 8th and Saturday Oct 9th... which gives me a few days with college buds... then off to the Smokies... Dragon etc. Arriving at TWO some time after noon on Thursday the 14th. Staying at TWO Thur, Fri and Sat night... the 14th through 17th am and leaving bright and early on Sunday morning. Gotta go buy some heated gear... and a few other items... will get the hard bags mounted on the Piglet this Friday! I can't wait. Gonna have to pack all the heavy duty gear up... we got some big ole hail last night and it isn't even October yet!!! |

We just did a 12 hour Pre-BTF-Run. Perfect weather. Wolf Pen was extra clean, as were all the roads we hit, even Richard Russell! They've got tar snakes on Wolf Pen, but they weren't any bother. 60 was awesome! 129 was where we saw some traffic, and ALT75 as well, but we were patient enough to wait for the passing lanes. Stopped off at T.W.O. for lunch, I loves me a Big Ass Burger. Then rode some more. Went through two full tanks of gas, by the way, Not Dale's has only regular gas, so bring some octane boost just in case you can't make it to Morganton, or down 60. The weather was awesome! Blue skies, clean pavement, low humidity, and good company. Rode with New12r (Uncle Charlie) and Matt, "Twintalon", I think. Just met Matt today, he's a good rider, excellent taste in bikes as well. He's riding a 05 XB9R. What an awesome day! Can't wait to ride with y'all!
