    Default Motel in Maggie's Valley that has parking for truck and trailer

    Guys, we are planning on coming up for the rally in Maggie's Valley on Oct. 6th. We probably need to trailer our spyder up there and then ride with the groups. Only had it about 3 weeks and don't yet trust it for a long trip. Reliability is a issue with me! Do you know of a motel that will have room for us to park our truck and trailer for the 4 days?
    Thanks for your responses!

    Default 2013 spyder RT Limited

    It is a 2013 spyder RT Limited. I bought it about 3 weeks ago and it only had 80 miles on it. a lady with cancer bought one for her and one for her daughter. She died in a few weeks and it has been setting for nearly 3 years. The dealer I got it from has had to clean the injectors twice and put new fuel filter and spark plugs to get the skipping out of the engine. He then picked it up and kept it a week to do 3 factory recalls on it, including putting the air vent up front and the fuel system update. He is trying hard to make it road worthy, but i have had 5 Harleys in a row and none of them had to stay in the shop over night. So for them that want to throw off on Harleys, go ahead! I have been thousands of miles on Yamaha's and Harleys at one trip with no problems! I'm at the age I need 3 wheels instead of two! Thanks for your support!

    .....I agree with you on your feelings about reliability ..... however for me it would start with the DEALER .......CLEAN INJECTORS TWICE !!!! ...... if they knew the Spyder sat for 3 years ....whey did they even run it with the gas that was in it ???? ...... for me that's basic rule #1.....drain tank, and throttle bodies and start fresh ..........................jmho.....good luck..........Mike

    Another option is the Comfort Inn on Soco Rd. They have a lot next to the motel for trucks and trailers. We are there now.

    I'm curious also about that comment. I just made reservations at the Comfort Inn in Maggie Valley this afternoon. Am I too late for the rally?

    I saw notices that the coordinators were not accepting any more registrations for the event, it was filled as they limited the group size.

    Default maggie valley rally

    That filled up is probable for Saturday night's meal! With the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Smokey Mountain ride up to Pigeon Fort, and Gatingburg, their is plenty of great riding for everyone who wants to go! I would think the vendors would like as big of crowd as we can get! There were only so many tickets being sold for the Saturday night meal at the conference center! Remember we also have the Dragon Tail not too far off if someone wanted to ride it!
    Hope to see you there!
