Trailer most of the way. Last year, one would drive, the rest of us would ride. We'll just see how the weather is this year.(jjmetheny @ Feb. 09 2007,21:35)Are you guys ridding down or hauling them on trailers?(GSXcite @ Feb. 09 2007,20:35) OMSLAW and myself will leave Kansas City on Wed 4/25 early am. We will take I-70 east to St. Louis and meet up with SEMI in Alton, Ill. around noon. We will take I-64 east to Lexington, Ky. From Lexington we will take I-75 south to Knoxville, Tn. From Knoxville we will take 129 south through Maryville, the dragon and end the trip in Robbinsville, NC sometime late Wed. eve. Wake up early and WAHOOOOO hit the dragon!
If you are riding to the gap, you could ride down to KC and go with us. Your bike would fit in the trailer with OMSLAW'S and mine. By time we pick up SEMI in St. Louis it should be warm enough that the guys will want to ride the busas part of the way, and take a breather some of the way and ride in the truck. You would be welcomed.(jjmetheny @ Feb. 09 2007,19:35)Are you guys ridding down or hauling them on trailers?(GSXcite @ Feb. 09 2007,20:35) OMSLAW and myself will leave Kansas City on Wed 4/25 early am.

i know guys-tryin to work it out, but end of the week is when we work, Weds-Sat, so its like taking a whole week off....thats a lot of bread to miss...we'll see how things look in April tho- house shopping right now so concentrating our $$ on that right now...hope i get down there for at least 2 days-thatd be nice vac. for me....plus, never been to NC so new place to see-always fun
id like to meet up with either some of you from kc area or east iowa ill. , but if some one had room on their trailer for my bike, id be more the willing to pay some of the gas/ride expanses and more...
i would like to ride some of the way down, but all of it might be to much

I will have room for one , possibly two more busas. If you want to ride south on 63 we could meet you in Columbia, Mo. on Wed. AM. You would need to let me know as soon as you can as I will be picking a new trailer up this Thursday, and I'll be getting it set up with wheel chocks and anchor points. All you would need to secure your bike in the trailer is 4 good quality ratchet type straps, and 4 short loops. If you don't have a way to carry what you need for gear and clothes, you could always get your stuff together and ship it to me by UPS and we will load it in the truck for you. I could then ship it back to you when we get back. You would not need much for tools etc. as the trailer will be fully stocked with everything you would need to service a busa, stands, spare wheels and tires mounted, air compressor, generator, oil and chemicals , tools. The only thing you may need is oil if you run something other than stock. Let us know.(boazalmighty @ Feb. 11 2007,09:06) id like to meet up with either some of you from kc area or east iowa ill. , but if some one had room on their trailer for my bike, id be more the willing to pay some of the gas/ride expanses and more...

Great Boaz, your in. It worked great for us last year. We all pitched in on gas so it didn't cost everyone a ton to go. I have a room reserved that has two double beds in one room with a couch, and a small room off to the side with a small bed where I'll stay. You are welcome to stay with us if you don't want to try to get a room by yourself. You can hit the couch or we will take a sleeping bag and air mattress for the floor. After riding all day, and attending the cookout and BS around the campfire at night, you would be able to sleep standing up in a tree. Glad you can make it, we will have a blast! Your bike is stretched right? Shoot me a PM and let me know the overall length of your bike so I can rig the trailer to hold yours.
