Should save a few dollars for all us poor biker-types. After all, we couldn't afford Hardley's!

---

Ryan,
I could afford a Hardley, I just couldn't afford the trailer to ride it on.
We haven't made reservations yet, but my bride will do that in the next couple days.

Would have been good to see you too Kenny, I miss my...er, your fender bib. Pat's for sure.

Just booked my room at the Econolodge.
Told the boss , If I am still on this job in may?
Now if I can get the bike back together

Cool Pete, I think everyone's ready, now if the spring would just come haha. I'm getting REALLY edgy, esp. after all the snow we got this weekend--about 15 inches over the course of three days...I know that's not much for all you Northerners, but it hasn't snowed that much here in over a decade.

Lee

26 inches in Central Park!! That's a lot... It's looking more and more like I won't be moving or changing jobs this spring, so I'll probably be booking a room or lookin for a roommie soon. I've had the vacation days blocked off for months now

Got about 12 inches of snow saturday into sunday.

I will have the extra bed if someone needs it.

May take you up on that Pete...

Hi Chy and all listening on this thread. New TBA owner here and thinking of joining your bunch in GA. Wife won't go unless I change the stock pillion. Sounds like I will be investing in a Corbin? That trip to GA is about 10 hours from Indy, haven't worked out all the details but maybe I can hook up with Airguy as he comes through here from Chicagoland. I'll keep lurking around this sight and will definetly take up Ryans offer and save some green. keep the rubber side down guys and gals. This will be my first longggggggg trip since 1989!!! Sounds like YA'LL southern boys have a good time planned, hope I can work out the details! (You know vacation and wife's seat)
Steve_sixmil

Coooool... I'll add you to my list.

Steve,
BigJack is another member from Indiana that came down last year and is probably gearing up to come down this year. You might want to give him a holler as well.

There is also another guy from Indiana who came to the rally two years ago. Can't quite remember his name... Robert something or another... Wade, maybe... . Maybe he could make it down this year... sure would be cool!!!!..... No pressure ..... Ride safe..... Gordon

Coooool... I'll add you to my list.

You mean theres a list!

(scribble me in then )

Cheers,
Brad

I don't believe you guys let this thread slide to the second page... ya'll need to tighten up!
Well I made the trip down to Newnan today to try a couple of different routes.. man it poured rain all day... I was in the car of course. While I was down there I checked out a place called Coweta Custom Cycles.. they are the local Triumph dealer and only a stones throw from TMA. They have a nice place there, lots o' Triumphs, shiney stuff and leather.. hey! my kinda place. Met some really nice folks, Rebecca (rides a Speed4) the phone answerer, parts person and goodwill ambassador.. and the GM Brad Keith. Heckuvva nice guy, offered me a test ride on a Scrambler.. too bad it was pouring rain. I told him we'd be making the trek down this year and he said he love to have us stop by while we were in the area.... he obviously doesn't know this bunch too well. He had three (3) Rocket 3's on the floor for all you fans and I got to get up close and personal with the pewter and silver America. Great looking bike...
They have a nicely organized web page and are offering 20% off all Triumph parts and accessories ordered thru their site. Sweet deals man, check them out.
Only 67 more days till rally time so start getting those bikes serviced and ready to ride.
Till then

Chy,
It is Saturday in Georgia so of course its raining. Hope this spell of bad weekend weather ends by early May!

I can't wait Chy. However, I need some more time to get her in shape!

R

Nice Chy......so we've got a DAY countdown now!! 65 and counting.....haha

Lee

Lee, I hope Chy keeps a running countdown of the days becussin' I can't count that high on my fingers ( gotta stop at ten ) . By the way, I loved the last pic of the scoot... looking good, bro!!! .... ride safe... Gordon

Geez Gordon, take off your shoes and pants, then you can count to 21.

Well at least twenty and a quarter!

CRUNCH!

So, I went online today to book my room at the Econolodge via Ryan's link. It said there were no rooms available, so, I tried without the discount and got the same response. So I called the Econolodge and asked about the dates. The manager said he would have to get back with me on Monday because a big party had booked out a lot of rooms and were going to confirm numbers by then. "What group ?" I asked... "the army group ", he answered, " are you with them?" I said no and he told me to call back on Monday for room availability. I called Chy and bugged him on his lunch break, if they get a chance he or Di will look into it. I just don't want to end up doing push ups, half drunk because Dinqua woke up some drill sargeant with his farting antics and strange uses of RTV, can I get an amen, brothers.... ride safe... Gordon

I kept waiting for that one.. knew SOMEBODY would chime in...

I told you baby,its not my penis pump,... its not my thing....yyyeeeaahhh bbaaabbbyy!!!! (Austin Power's rip off ). Ouch, phillip, very ouch!!!.... Gordon

Man, that was hilarious Pat, and all this time I stopped counting after mutlitples of ten....now I can count up to three weeks straight hahahah....

Lee

Just HAD to take that shot, Chy!!

the army group

I wonder if that is us and they are confused?
Or maybe the Army IS staying there?

This could get interesting!

I got the same thing for the motel too Gordon. What's up with that eh?
Maybe we'll be staying at the Raj Mahal after all?
There's at least three of us coming from NY (The '06 Yankee Invasion), probably four if Jane decides she's coming too.
Hopefully Chy can get this sorted out for us.

Sooooooo.... who's got a spare bed?

I can take some overflow if necessary, house is about 20 minutes from Chy's; 4-1/2 miles east of 400 off hway 53.

I tried to book a room this weekend too.
Two dumb questions....
How many haven't made reservations yet?
Whats the contact info for the "Raj Mahal"?

I haven't made reservations yet. From the looks of things, I think I'll bring a tent and sleeping bag just in case!

The "Raj Mahal" is otherwise known as the Days Inn.. it and other accomodations can be found on the first page of this thread through the " Dahlonega " link.

CHY
If the weather is decent is your back yard still open for camping, wife is going to kill me if we have to camp!!! Just thinking of options,haven't told her yet that almost everything is booked!
Steve_Sixmil

Yeah man.. plenty of room. the weather in May should be quite warm with low 60's to upper 50's at night. Can't promise no rain though.
I kinda doubt everything being booked, there are 5 motels in Dahlonega alone, dozens of cabins and several B&B's. Check the link for other options link

Are we going to start new threads for the Days Inn and the
Econo Lodge groups???

I was thinking of starting a "GA Lodging/traveling" thread... but I wasn't sure about it being unoficial

Well, the party WILL be at the Econolodge!!

Is there going to be a group meeting in Knoxville again? I am looking to hook up with a group somewhere in Kentucky or Tennessee.

Dennis

DK,
You can hook up with Airguy and me, and maybe a couple of others.
