It has been a while since I was there, but it was a really cool place to spend some time. We were fortunate with our timing - it was a Wednesday or Thursday I think - Dale was there and walked most of the museum with us, which provided an even deeper look at the displays. The best part was seeing a couple of the bikes actually start and be ridden around. I'm not sure if he still does that on a regular basis or not. The hotel has a good relationship with them, so we should be able to get a group rate for admission tickets.

Sooze and I went through there when we were in the area on the Harley back in June. That is a really, Really cool place! "The Museum That Runs." Yes, everything in there supposedly runs. Dale was there while we were there as well - several of the bikes were started up. It was pretty cool, and be sure to sign the guestbook, especially if you're a lefty - they'll give you a left-handed pen. No, really - they will.

I have added to my schedule...I plan to bring fresh rubber this time and maybe an extra set (the way I go thru tires anyway).

Looking forward to it!!!

Good deal - I was thinking about shipping a spare wheel & tire to hotel this year so I don't have to stop playing so early...

Amazing place. Went through there in 2008 and pledged to myself that I would come back and spend more time. So many models and manufacturers I'd never heard of, all restored to perfection and in complete working order.

On the calender! Good location!

I'm thinking I might get there a day or two early or leave later to go through the museum at my leisure and not miss any of the riding. So much to see and do..... So little time!!

I'll put on a new set of PR2's for this trip!

My plan will be to have the tire changer with me and hopefully some practice by then.

Looks great, you can count me in. However, I think I will do my best to try to avoid the elk, LOL.

Boy, this looks great! It's been a while - can't wait to see everyone!

 

[bababang]

I'll be there.

oooooooooooo....................................I seldom get to go to EOM because of a conflict each year with a required conference I must attend. This year the conference is in Nashville maybe.....just maybe I can put something together. Maggie Valley is one of my favorite places in N.C. Great venue!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully, It is time to end the drought and get back to the EOM this year.

I'm definitely interested. I'm going to put this on the calendar and work hard to make it looks like a great place and perfect time of the year to be there.

Jim, thanks for the heads up

Thanks for the heads up. This means that a lot of tourists in the park may take the road west to Foothills Parkway and south on 129 to get south through the Park...

Perfect - this will provide the "goat trail" section for one of the routes...
