There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

According to what I have heard, the rains and wind was quite light in that area. I did see a couple of rock slides, but nothing that will affect the majority of the riding. We go 2-3 times a year, and this is one of the top places for riding. Really looking forward to this event. I will be able to help out and lead a few rides, but they will be shorter and slower than last years, as I will have the wife with me. We will arrive on 10/10.
BTW, this year I will be bringing some of my M109 buddies with me. Since I crashed their party, they will be coming to ours.

I can hardly wait. Tell Georgia that she will have to take it easy on me this year, as I will have a passenger and will have to drive like I have some sense. This will be my 3rd rally in Maggie Valley, and I attended the on in Fontana Village prior to that(we stayed in Robbinsville). I need this break some kind of bad. Weather here is supposed to be perfect this weekend, so I will do a pre-ride.

Do you know if all the guys in our group from last year will be there this year?

Surprised that you would bring the concours. It will be hard enough to get the Victory to go that slow. Let alone the concours. Either way, it should be lots of fun. Just seeing that picture of us at the table really makes me hungry. I am thinking that is taken at "Butts on the Creek". I can almost taste the brisket. I will be mounting my hitch mounted rack next week, and shopping for some better rain gear this weekend.I’ll be on my Concours 14 and my wife will be on a white F3T.
I should be easy to spot. Kind of like last year...

Go that slow? I don’t think so! I’ll just be waiting longer at the next intersection. :thumbup:
Actually, I’ll probably just do like I did at the MAM. Fast thru the curves, then slow in the straights until everyone catches up. It worked out really well.

Cool. Just know that I will only be at about 75% power at best, and possibly 50% power sometimes. My passenger has made that perfectly clear:lecturef_smilie:
pps:. I promised her one day (at least half) of hanging out in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. That will probably be right on time for some of our "up north" M109 brothers that were complaining about me riding too far, and too long at the MAM. But as I told them, it is only about another 50 miles
.Big Mike been checking the forecast and they are saying that temps should be in the 50-65 mile range. I think I will be able to leave the leathers behind, but will just break out the tritex and freeze out gear. I know KD will be pulling his trailer, as his wife loves to pack heavy. And their is always Walmart and Kmart if an extra sweat shirt is needed.

Yep, someone from our local group posted this on our facebook page. I have no intentions on getting one, but it will be nice to give it a sit on, and get a reaction from the wife.

What day are you getting in? We need to get together and do some riding. Georgia and I will be staying at the Maggie Valley Inn this year. We will be there Monday afternoon.

You can all blame me for this new storm from hell. I had my dream vacation in August in Hawaii and got 10 days of Hurricane Lane. Then came home to SC to Hurricane Florence. Now this. Everyone I know wants me to tell them where my next trip is so they can book far, far away. BTW, we were in Maggie Valley 2 years ago for this event and brought THAT hurricane with us.
