2007 Ride Days Gatlinburg Edition - Page 15 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

stp1971 · 02-16-2007, 08:15 PM

I an always throw that out there for Kelley. I am sure he wouldn't mind. He has rode the Dragon two years ago in the rain 2up. If the need arises he will probably let her ride with him as well. Worst case scenario I am sure she could ride with S2. I am sure she will be alot more fun to hang with then his compadre from last year.

Well guys and gals,, unfortunately we did not make it up to Gatlinburg to check things out this weekend. Due to a forecast of frozen conditions I didn't want to chance it on those out of the way roads I am sure Rainman had picked out. But besides,, it seems that Gatlinburg is the second most popular spot and holds the title for wedding chapel of the world. All the rooms at the Riverterrace is booked this weekend and Susan said she even checked for local rooms in the area at other hotels. So the scout trip is going to be delayed until March sometime.

But we will keep you posted. But I hear rumors that Rainman may have went up that way anyways talking to Kelley today. I haven't checked,, I have been under the hood of the truck tonight instead.

If we get on the road before 8:00, he should be sober enough, so, yes, I can vouch for him.

Just kidding, Brian handles that Triumph like a pro.

LOL

Anytime, you can let me know up to the time we take off for the dragon. I have been two up enough times that I am comfortable with it. Rode through wolf's gap, Blood mountain and 60/19 two up several times. Like I said just let me know, I can't wait to get back up on the dragon and that area, absolutely beautiful up there. Besides if Ally rides with me she can piont out some things I may miss ( not the corners, the scenery LOL)

You got one to fit a Prince Albert?

Not that I'm into that or anything, just making sure you're accommodating all facets of the community.

**Trapper** · 02-20-2007, 04:18 PM

The round one looks oval.

Jerryzuki · 02-20-2007, 05:56 PM

Looks like you posted the same link twice Don. Dang, we are hard to please aren't we.

Everett Keith · 02-21-2007, 03:22 PM

I Wish I could.

**inspiron** · 02-22-2007, 02:27 AM

Can I order one of those pins even if I don't ride the dragon? (I won't be back in the US until September...)

Just remember, you can't wear the pin till after you have ridden the Dragon.

If one of us catches you, we are required to shoot you.

Oh, wait a minute, I guess that's just a Harley thing, never mind.

MisfitsGeek · 02-22-2007, 01:30 PM

I like the round pin myself... good job on them!

outlaw · 02-22-2007, 02:08 PM

good job don. i like them both

Triumphant · 02-22-2007, 04:24 PM

Either one Don, they both look good.
By the way, are you going to do the picture CD this year? I think it worked out pretty well for the last trip.
