04 Deals Gap trip in May

[Half Squid]

Please refrain from bastardizing this thread please...
Or if you are not able to go dont post it, only people that are serious. Thank you...

The time is here to start the planning. I have the house reserved already for the third week in May. (May 16 to May 23).

What I need is confirmation as to who is serious about going. I need a definate yes or no as soon as possible. Last year after the last trip a lot of people inquired about 2004, so if there is still a large interest I would need to know the amount of people to see if I need to book a second house, which is available at the moment.

I will be looking for a $50 deposit by mid January, say the 15th so I can send off the deposits on the house/houses...

I will most likely be leaving on Saturday May 15th. I am pretty sure my trailor is still full for the trip down between Skiixer (Jamie) and TheIglu (Clayton) & my bike.

If anyone wants to extend the invite to a friend if you are going that is fine, just do not post this anywhere else. Pretty much keeping this as a NESR Friends & Family thing. NESR is our family!

You know I am in! I will give you the deposit when I see you next.

Jamie


Paid my deposit!!!!

The house is confirmed for the 3rd week in May. I accually have both houses in case a lot of people show interest.

With both houses we can sleep 20 to 25 people comfortably!

[Half Squid]

Early confirmations! Nice riding group so far!
I really like the fact there are 3 RC51'S

Jamie - Paid Deposit
Bruce
Randy

[TheIglu]

Send me a PM with ya address so I can toss some $$$ your way for deposit.....

So let me get this straight.....3 RC51's, an SV650 and an '82 CB750F....well, looks like I won't ever get bored!!!

All that's left to get the beast ready is to open up the tranny to grind open my shift window so I will miss fewer shifts.

May is so far away.....DAMNIT!

[Half Squid]

BUMP..

We need more people or this will be cancelled..

Right now there is four of us for the whole week, and Bruce for the last three days. That will cost everyone $200 for the week on just the house. Bruces contribution for the last three days will make up the difference.

Does everyone feel comfortable with that cost or should we call it a loss if nobody else shows interest??

If this falls out I am heading to Daytona for Bike week.

[TheIglu]

I'm in for up to $300 for the week

Deposit check should be sent to ya this week, just gotta hear if they are gunna offer me the job with full beni's. No health insurance + Deal's Gap = bad.

[RandyO]

I put my check in the mail to you last Saturday

Maybe you can do both. I'm heading down to Daytona Bike week myself. I just can't wait for spring any longer.

Didn't see that post before...what type of house did you rent? Is there enough bedrooms let's say if you have couples going? I was looking at some nice cabins around Bryson City in NC. Is it in this area?

nice cabin in Bryson City?????

the place we stay at is the treetops 2 miles from Cherohala and a lot closer to the gap (15mi?) than Bryson City

[skiierx]

I am still all for this! Lets go people, who is ready to ride? I know I have the itch and many others must as well. Mike (half squid) has reserved 2 houses for a good size group to go down and enjoy and rip up the roads.

If you have questions, post them up. I know Mike has all the answers!!!

Got room for a Superhawk?

I've been reading and reading this thread. Contemplating and contemplating.

Sounds like a good time! Is this still a go? I have never been and I have heard good things about Deal's gap. I can get a truck and a single bike trailer for the week.

Let me know.

Or you could borrow my trailer that is still in your name!!! It is still on, I spoke to Mike about it Saturday. It si going to be a good week of riding and oh yeah some drinking!!!!

Jamie

Trailer isn't an issue. I got a truck to use if I need it too. Just don't want to drive by myself.

Half Squid got room for me in his trailer?

KB

[Awesome]

I'll be healed I think. But I have a lot of vacations planned already. I can't do the full week but I could probably do a 4 days. or something.

[Half Squid]

Sorry My Trailor is Full with three bikes.

But I am sure we could figure something out so you dont have to travel alone.
I could possibly get my buddies truck to pull my trailor and throw one bike in the bed of the truck. Pretty sure he will be cool with that, just have to throw a favor or money towards him... The truck is a quad cab so we can all fit and put our gear in the trailor.

Randy are you riding down this year????

If you guys are definate let me know, I will need a small deposit. Thanks, Welcome to a sweet ass trip!

[KB]

I am serious. I can mail you a check for the deposit. By May the travel details will get worked out.

Gonna have to do some deals gap research now!!!

I pm'd yah. Give me call if you want to talk about it. If not skiierx will fill me in!!

Sweet

Add another twin to the list 3 RC's and a Superhawk. RIDE RED!!!!

[RandyO]

not sure... still contemplating bringing 2 bikes, in which case I would have to trailer... but more than likely I will end up riding. possibility I will make a SS1000 out of it again.


Or if I get a wing, I'll do both, ride towing my SV on a trailer

btw... potentially I might hit 100k on my SV on this trip

[KB]

Holy crapola. 100 thousand. You are an an animal.

Nice work.

[RandyO]

[skiierx]

We should get everyone together for a night of and just shoot the shit, work out all the details! Oh yeah and more
