[busa1300nut]

Good to see the list growing!

I saw where Tom posted there were rooms avalible at the gap. If busaboy or anyone else needs to take me up on my offer, let me know asap.

I am planning on being there, Depending on work schedule. looking forward to it.

shoeio - Good. You were added to the UPDATED LIST, 4 or 5 posts back. Thanks!

Don't forget Tapoco Lodge as an option. It is just a few miles or less down 219 from Deals Gap Resort and is much much nicer (albeit more expensive I would assume). Not to mention the plethera of options in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Lots of options.

Keep this thread up near the top so we all know definite dates...I have a friend in NC that's been asking me to tame the Dragon with him...I'd love to go, but I'll need a baby sitter, way to trailer the Busa down...ask the hubby if he wants to go too...

Sounds like fun!

 

[EAKbusa]

Va Busa, if anyone comes from over your way, you could always trailer it to my neck of the woods and ride as a smaller group from here (about 2 1/2 hrs to Pigeon Forge, another hour or so to the Dragon - but it feels shorter than that). I hate riding alone for such distance so I would welcome the company.

 

[VaBusa]

That's an option EAKbusa...I'd enjoy that very much...thanks for the offer!

 

[BusaboyCO]

Hey Busa1300Nut, Sounds like I'm in. If the offer is still up to crash at your place I'll take. I could even sleep in the back of my expedition if I could park out there, whatever is easy, bro, I don't want to intrude. I can fit a futon in the back with the rear seats down.

Lookin' forward to gettin there and meeting you guys (and gals, Michelle) Just drop a line if the dates change.

I'm not suer yet but I think we (guys from work and myself) might try staying here this time. Pigeon Forge takes about 30mins to get to the Gap and if the Foothills Parkway isn't fixed yet add another 10-20mins. Bad detour.

Where is here?

Yeah I remember the detour, it sucks but is manageable unless you are squimish (tight decending turns, gravely road surface in spots, etc.).

I personally would prefer to stay somewhere in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg as there is so much more to do there and many more places to eat etc. Deal's Gap is no mans land as far as accomodations and restaurants etc. But it depends on where everyone else will be.

 

[zukracer]

put me down for a definate (90+%) maybe as well. also might be bringing my neighbor and his TL1000. Assuming the "resort" is full, where else should we look to book rooms?

 

[WarBaby]

zukracer - Good! I'll put you on the list. If you follow the "Busa Bash Web Page" link above, then click on "Tail of the Dragon", you'll find lots of info on other places to stay.

Warbaby, put me down please... Looks like good times!!

UUBusa - It's done Bro. Welcome to the Gap Gang!

[BulletTrain]

Looks like I should be off that weekend if nothin' comes up... pencil me in as a strong possibility. Hope I can make it. I've wanted to ride the gap for a while now and meetin' you all would be a super sweeet bonus!

Hey guy,s and gal,s, I just called my local DOT, and the Foothills Parkway between 321 and 129 is still closed, but there is a deture that takes an extra 30min or so, but you can still get to the Dragon from Pigion Forge or Gatlinburg
