PACKED UP / LOADED UP/ BEAUTY AND "THE BEAST" ARE HEADING TO THE DRAGON!!

 

Safe trip Bob, wish I could be there

 

You will be missed George. Shanking your hand is always good.

 

Nice looking ride, Bob! Drive Safe.

 

Hate Roberta & I are going to miss this event. Have to leave on a business trip Sunday & it didn't make any sense to commit to this event. Everyone drive safe & enjoy the TN/NC mountains. Hope the fall colors are good. It's been so hot in this area that leaves are predicted to turn color quickly.

 

I have a room avail. at the Fontana lodge.
Even though they have a waiting list, they will not cancel my reservation (deposit) without a name of a new member.
If you are on that waiting list and want to attend the event, Please contact me as soon as possible. The room is a 2 bedroom cabin.
I will wait till tomorrow morning to cancel. I have the room Thurs.-Monday.
Contact Ken @ ocprwlr@yahoo.com or thru this post.
Thanks Ken (TNxFire

 

On my way to Fontana, thanks to Jeff K for the loan of an SRT.

For those who don't believe I can drive an automatic... (my church home in Cumming):

Got back late last night! Thanks again to everyone who stepped up to make this event happen! My wife and I are both truly blown away by everything!

We now also have a list of things we need to get done to Pumbaa over the winter!! New plugs, new fluids, etc etc

Thanks again!

 

Hey we saw you along the route back home. My wife and I were in a blue roadster (although top was up). Good to hear you got home safely. Some of that traffic got busy!

 

I wasn't sure who it was. I tried reaching you by radio but you must have turned yours off . Traffic was rough but I got back on the road and was tailing an SRT8 Durango with a license plate that said "WLD WMAN"... We made up some time to say the least lol.

 

Some of us have made Featured Photos of the week over at US129 photos. Please vote!

 

DRAGON UPDATE:

Well, most of us are home now, many back to "real life". In a few days, a final update will be posted, as we must tell the world about the highlights of the trip:

1) Who met nice law enforcement officers, and how many of them got tickets. (And how many tickets per person. )

2) Winners of the drawing and raffle prizes, and just what each person won.

3) We raised some money for the Blount County Rescue Squad (without even TRYING!) - details about THAT to follow.

 

I can't get a Dragon update right on the first post. I really must give thanks:

Ella Whelchel for loaning me $10 so I could eat Saturday night (that I have not paid her back for).

Eric Hyden for having the sense to have five spare fuses for our radios.

Crystal Mathernel, Robert McCubbin (who else helped? Rob B held the flashlight and made smart remarks - who else was there?) that worked to get my trunk light out and then did the electric lock mod when I was locked out of my trunk.

James Lee Smith for the Captain Morgan.

Peter Turner for the Six Speed Pen.

Jeff Kielmeyer for loaning me a car to drive for the week.

 

Having some fun on the Dragon following a Sport Bike
