You can go ahead and reserve your room at the Deals Gap Resort. Be sure to tell them you're coming for the Buell event.

I might just make it to this. Used to live in Knoxville and hit up the area quite a bit. Finally have a bike now to do the Dragon on.

I'd say move it to May also. The weather would be better and Most schools will be out.

I'm there! :) Reservations are made. Arriving Wed. 4/23, departing Mon. 4/23.
Loki and Kid1620:
I know from previous years it is almost impossible to find an open weekend at any of the resorts as the weather gets warmer. Especially if you want a block of rooms to try and keep most of us together so things run smoother. In 2009 there was only one other big rally that weekend. Last year there was 2 or 3 car club events in the area. Not saying that it is impossible but the odds are really slim.
Just my two cents.

Depending on weather. I will ride if it's decent. Last year it was still in the 40's here in Michigan when I left and ran into snow on the way home.
Would be nice to ride with a group for a change.

I may be back from ft Leanordwood in time, if so I'd be riding with two from south east wisconsin.

Yeah weather up here in the north is tricky. If its rough I might take the truck as well with the moto trailer. it can hold up too 4 bikes so if anyone is interested in car-pooling down let me know thanks! I think it would be fun too ride down as a group anyways

The dragon is cool to ride once but that's it. Been there once and that's it. Way better roads to ride that have far less traffic and better scenery out there.

I'm in Fort Wayne, Indy is a little out of the way but not bad if you need a ride or want to caravan down there.

I will be riding down from Southwest Michigan, and down through indy. Last year the ride down was perfect. RT saved my butt on the way back though as it was snowing and slick out... Major props to him for that!

But last year I rode down alone, and I think it would be fun to have a few people to ride with this year! (provided i get my bike rebuilt in time....)

State road 1? I rode that on the way home two years ago, it seemed to be a nice scenic road and didn't take forever.

Looks like I'll have a couple empty beds if someone needs one.

Hello All. Dennis here, Redrider called the other day and asked about rooms. I had just opened a new motel last year and we are on the north end of the Dragon. We have ten rooms and a restraunt next door. Check us out, dragonpittinnandbbq.com or hit our link on the Tail of the Dragon website. [cool]
