Motovloggers Invade Deals Gap!

[Trinith]

I think it's time we got a proper meetup at the twistiest, scariest, and generally most badass road this country has to offer. The other DG meet has lost a lot of it's original intent and has sort of become simply a gathering of friends who are 'in the know' so to speak. I say it's time to bring the vloggers back!

Who: Anyone who wants to come. This event is not just for motovloggers, that is simply the vehicle that has brought us all to this point.

What: 2013 Deals Gap Motovloggers Meet

When: August 9-12, 2013

Where: Colonial Inn Franklin
3157 Georgia Rd
Franklin, NC 28734

Mention being part of the "Motovlog" group for the group rate of $55 per night + tax.

Why: Because.

I'm pretty scared of that place...but it's a LOT closer to me than the Ozarks...so I almost don't have an excuse not to go.

 

[Trinith]

No, you really don't. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it though, just make sure you're well rested.

 

[XXX526]

I should be able to make this, barring any stupid work-related emergency.

...or flat tires..or broken harnesses...or stupid wrecker drivers...

 

[UnstableBoy]

so want to go... will have to keep my schedule clear for this... affording it is another problem

 

[Trinith]

Good luck! That's one of the most common reasons given for people not going. We do what we can to minimize the costs involved, but it still adds up pretty fast.

 

[sportyeight]

Decisions, decisions...guh. Deals Gap or Ozarks...can only do one. Jonesin' for a trip to the gap, but the Ozarks be about 100-ish miles closer... :?

 

[Britex]

Knock knock knock...hello.....is this thing working?....hmmm not many replies ?

 

[Caesar342]

why cant all vloggers go to the fort worth stock yards?

 

[Caesar342]

it seems the destinations are always roads and not actual places why not meet there and pick a destination else where

 

[matth1138]

Hmm. If I can't make Ozarks the this will have to go on the calendar. Just depends on the bambino.

If you want, shoot me all the details in a PM and I'll get it on the Motovlog Facebook page as an event.

eh... I lived in the Dallas area for 13 years, there's no reason for anyone to want to go to Ft Worth. :lol:

Plus you have to ride in a busy city with group of vloggers? lol

 

[kryten]

Is this still going to happen? I ride in that area quite a bit and can help with some cool routes. As a matter of fact I just got finished mapping out a group ride up there for some of my riding friends.

I suggest staying somewhere other than Deals Gap. Robbinsville is just about perfect. It's close to a lot of cool roads but it's not right in the middle of the motorcycle tourist trap known as Deals Gap. I would also suggest riding the Dragon once or twice at most just as a treat for the people that have never done it so they can say they have and then getting the hell out of there. There are lots of roads just as good or better in that area. They just don't have the PR that Deals Gap and the Dragon have.

 

[MotoRick]

^^^^^^^^^ What he said!

 

[Britex]

Weekends in that area are super busy. If plans aren't made soon they need to be.

Nothing in Dallas but gallaria mall and drugs

Hmmm. Clarksville is 6 hours from Fort Worth. You should hit the Ozark meetup next month.

Dallas does have that, among other things. These meet-ups are to get away from traffic, to enjoy being out on the road. I don't think you'll find many folks that want to purposely ride around in a larger city on their motorcycle while on vacation. Deals Gap region and the Ozarks region are pretty underdeveloped and make for great motorcycling adventures.
