Maggie Valley event

[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.

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.

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!

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

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?

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?

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

This is a must do if you have the time.
