Maggie Valley event

[bruiser]

2011 Spyder Owners event in Maggie Valley. 17/18 June. I'm gonna try to go.

[MarkLawson]

I plan to attend too. It'll be better to LEAVE the big city traffic for the owners event rather than GOING TO the big city traffic for the owners event! :2thumbs:

When are you leaving? I'm trying to see if there are any rooms let and always enjoy going with other Spyder riders. Thanks.

[ThreeFeet]

I sure want to go. Have to impose on the neighbor again to baby sit my animals. Really pushing my luck there. But hope to get a camp site for tents. Anybody from Mo going? Want to stop for visit in Clarksville, then on to Lamonts BBQ( think he is still having it, couldn't FIND the place last year!!):dontknow::sour: Sooo this year will try a lot harder!!! Then maybe back thru the Dragon. :yikes: OR NOT> Anyway see ya'll there.:ohyea::firstplace:

go to the Maggie Valley 2011 thread. there are some good ideas there.

I didn't realize there was another Maggie Valley thread going, when I started that one.

[KipDM]

i would to go but will most probably not be able to :opps:
i work Fri/Sat/Sundays and already have on week long trip planned that month (brothers from TN and TX, mother from AL are coming up to Oak Island, NC) so will probably not get leave time approved.
that and being a TOTALLY new ryder (have not ridden a motorcycle since 87/88) so may not feel confident enough for a long trip by then even if i CAN get leave approved.

if i can get leave (and comfortable enough) to go will gladly ryde in a small group to head out in a line....LOL

[fispyder]

I plan on being there:ohyea::ohyea:

[2Gunns]

I'm going to miss Cuba, it was going to be a tight schedule anyway....now I will be in Maine (without my Spyder).

But sometimes luck does come my way..... got to be in Asheville June 13-15 for work. Perfect :2thumbs:

Lamonts BBQ & Maggie Valley are a done deal !

[Bob Denman]

I got the flyer on it this morning, so the Missus and I have something to discuss this evening... :dontknow:

[spyderwoman]

Jimmy and I have decided to go. We are camping in Maggie Valley at the Creekwood Farm Rv Park. We plan on going up June 16th. We are planning on attending Lamont's BBQ too. Can't wait to see some of you guys!

[patches]

Yeah..I knew you would convince Jimmy it was the right thing to do. Will give you a call when we get closer to the date.

[WackyDan]

We are leaving the morning of the 15th heading down towards South Carolina to meet up with DocRiverside from GA.

We are going to run Rt 64 on the way there, which if none of you have before, you are missing a treat! Very twisty, waterfalls... beautiful!

[patches]

I live off 64. My last trip to Gatlinburg, took us 12 hours taking every back road we could find. No freeways all the way there. Great ride.

[bruiser]

We'll be running straight across 40 from Goldsboro. Figuring about eight hours. Still not sure if I'm trailering yet. Have to see how the hand feels between now and then.

Catniption and I are planning to go to the BBQ, too; we are so close it would be a shame not to ride together!

[Catniption]

Hickory seems to be a decent middle ground for some folks to meet at. Maybe we can gather others as we go. What say ye, Spyderfolks?

[spyder3rdr]

i'm going to try my best to make it !!!

[freebob]

If I lived in NC I would already be there Marking My Territory...:joke:..

Freebob...:doorag:

[Pandy]

We will be there, but not until Saturday the 18th. We are staying in Maggie Valley on Soco road and plan to meet up with the Cherokee folks for the Dragon run on Sunday. Did I say WOOT?:yes:

So are most of the out-of-town riders staying at the Holidays Inn Express, did Spyders riders fill the place.

There is an awesome museum in Maggie Valley :2thumbs:called Wheels Through Time. :2thumbs:Admission was $10 last year. One of the best motorcycle museums I have ever been in. :2thumbs: Here's their link: http://wheelsthroughtime.com/ (http://wheelsthroughtime.com/)

The motorcycles are everywhere! You actually get to walk among them, touch them, and if you ask, they will let you sit on them. If that's not enough, they will even start them for you! 99% of the motorcycles still run. If they were found intact, they cleaned some grease and dirt off of them and leave them as is. If they get a basket case, they completely restore it. You have one of the exact type in original condition as it was brand new sitting next to one in it's original used condition.

Almost all of the motorcycles are American made, he has a hand full of others. Bj & I were talking and this guy walks up and starts telling us about the bikes. We later learned he was the owner, it was like talking to an old friend.

:2thumbs: This is a must do if you have the time. :2thumbs:
