Updated 10/18/06 2 DAYS TO GO !! No Changes
WHAT: This is to anybody with an FZ6 or other bike interested in getting together at Deals Gap.
If anybody is interested post up. Let us know your level of commitment (maybe, likely, definite.)
WHEN: The weekend of 10/20/2006. Remember that at this time of year it is cold in the morning, warm in the afternoon and then chilly again at night. So, dress accordingly. I dress in layers under my riding jacket to remove some when i get hot and put them back on when it get cold.
WHERE: Deals Gap, NC. I have copied some really good info from the last Deals gap thread (thanks Eric!) for the people that have never been to the Smokeys.

Make reservations in the hotel of your choice. Not everyone is staying in the same place due to limited rooms that are left available.
Friday:
_ Meet at the Crossroads of Time for breakfast at 9:00am and for late-comers at 3:00pm (For the people coming in on Friday that won't make it on time for the breakfast, you should wait at the Crossroads of Time until you see the troop of FZ6's re-group)
Address:
Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort
17548 Tapoco Road
Tapoco, NC 28771
_ We will be having lunch at "The Homeplace" on the way to Foothills PKWY before re-grouping at the Crossroads of Time at 3:00pm.
_ The ride to Gatlinburg is great and traffic is not as bad as you may think, so, if it is of any interest to you, we can head there for dinner.
Saturday:
_ Early 8:00am breakfast at Fontana Village.

_ 9:30am meet at the Crossroads of Time for other riders not interested in breakfast.
_ From 9:30 to noon, lots of passes through the Dragon.
_ Lunch on the way to Cherohala Skyway. (On the way to the Skyway we could stop for gas/lunch at Cherohala Market in Tellico Plains.They have inside seating for lunch and some covered parking and picnic tables out back).
_ Big get-together on Saturday night:
The Eastern Tennessee Riders board is having their fall bash. They rent out the whole restaurant at the CROSS ROADS OF TIME and have a dinner for around $10 and then have a 50cc race in the parking lot, a raffle for some door prizes (some cool stuff like digital cameras, etc.) Then have a big bonfire and some drinking.(DO NOT DRINK AND RIDE)
Sunday: A ride with Tour Guide to go see waterfalls, tunnels, caverns, and monster trees.
Monday: Some people will be going home. Those that are staying can plan more riding if they still don't have a monkey butt by then.
