Vince, I'll certainly try to swing on out and catch up with youn's! Are you and your wife gonna be staying at the Deal's Gap motel? You've not seen my Triumph Sprint ST yet- my buddy Vern did a bang-up schweet job on the bodywork and paint! |

Thanks Brad. Get ya one man. A couple bucks from each shirt goes to Biker Down of WNC, it's a group that visits riders in the hospital that have been in an accident and gives them a little financial help too. |

Never heard of them! Are there any similar outfits in E. TN? Hang on to an XL for me, and I'll see you over there that weekend! You're only doing them in black, right? If there's a lighter shade, grey hopefully, I'd rather have that- otherwise, black is fine. |

Jetranger, the official dates are April 23-26, but many people come for the whole week. The Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort and Simple Life Campground are the main places people stay. Camping is available at both places, and there's several tent campers. Thursday there will be a BBQ dinner ride to the Dragon Pitt (which also has rooms). Friday US129Photos will do a group photo at the Deals Gap Resort, followed by a cookout. Saturday evening there will be raffle prizes. Lots of cool stuff donated by sponsors. Money raised will go to help Biker Down of WNC. People have won Buell merch, riding gear, Dragon posters, EBR merch, axle sliders, XB dashboards, free stays at the DGMR, and even track days, and other stuff I'm forgetting. There will also be EBR demos. Each night people are around the fire pit drinking beer and havin' a good time. |

Short sleeve! What's going on Sunday? I may be able to roll in Saturday early, but I'm scheduled to work @3:45... kinda puts a damper on the day. I'll try to catch up with youn's Sunday. |

Most people are headed back home Sunday morning. Others of us that live closer just ride The Dragon and hang out on the DGMR porch. The other days, rides usually don't leave out 'til about 10. Come have some coffee and breakfast with us and ride 'til you gotta go to work. Thursday I'm leading an off-road ride, but I don't know what I'm doing Friday yet. My wife and I might ride with some friends to the Wheels Thru Time museum in Maggie Valley. |

I'll definitely grab a sticker or 2, Vince! I was just looking at the back of my truck, covered with over 100 various and sundry stickers (YES, I'm a junkie ), and I'll be having a spot come open soon. |

Vince is it too late to order a t-shirt? I'd need it sent to me... |

We may have a few extras. What size? |

Xl or 2Xl depending on how the shirt is sized. |

An XL won't be a problem at all. The shirts are being delivered to the Deals Gap Resort so I'll set one aside when we get 'em. |
