Have definite dates been set yet for the 2015 rally in Franklin?
:biggthumpup:
Arriving Thursday September 3rd, riding on the 4th, 5th, 6th departing monday Labor day September 7th
Since the majority departed on Sunday, we may just make Sunday our departure date instead of Monday. Will decide at a later date.
One important element ....
I do not want this event to become overwhelmingly LARGE, large groups are not as much fun as the small groups. I would like to CAP the number of attendees to just 80 total, first come, first served.
80 is a good number, it's a lot of people but it is also small enough where everyone can socialize with each other.

Thanks, Tony! If you're starting a list, go ahead and add DeerSlayer and Hornblower to it. We have reservations made for Thur., Fri., and Sat. nights with plans to head out on Sunday. Thanks!
Any thoughts of this as part ofd a day trip...maybe tie Helen Ga into the day as well....

Count Mr. PDQ in for 2015
BLACKBETTY12 will be there!
Me too!
If I haven't worn out my welcome, I'd like to request a spot at the rally
Around 70..... I do believe Phantom is pulling on you leg about a set number...I am sure he just wants folks to sign up early so we can get more rooms at the hotel....and it gives us a better idea how to set up rides and eats.... There are 62 rooms at this hotel so it is limited as far as staying in one place...not sure there is a bigger hotel as well, although there are several with in 2-3 miles.... the Saturday night dinner is a biggy because we have that catered and we do not want to run out of food. There is an unbelievable amount of planning that goes into these events!!!!!!
I went to Helen, GA on Sunday to get an Air Hawk cushion. It took 45 minutes from edge of town to get to the motorcycle store.
Traffic entering from South side was stop and go for 3 miles!!!
Lady at store give me a route that goes around Helen and ends up in Hiawassee.Roads 17,255,197 and 76. Great senic roads.
The cushion was great but did I get hosed on the price.Did research on internet. Still shocked what the charged for it. Amazon has it listed for
$145. It cost me $229.

Steve is correct, just trying to plan so that there are NO short falls. If we have a bigger turn out in 2015, Friday and Saturday may have multiple rides instead of one single ride each day like we did this year.
She saw that you were from Kalifournya and charged accordingly :biggthumpup: :poke:
I thought it was high when you told me the price...but what is your butt worth???? I betting your :moon: is very happy!!!!! ( and not red!!! )
Jovi and I will do our best to be there again. This time a shorter ride from Tampa.
I mentioned it to the wife and didn't get an immediate NO, so put me down as a maybe.
add my wife and I to the list. Heard nothing but great stuff about this year's rally. Looking forward to next year! Ncf6b
Carolina Rider will be there.
Please add me to the list too.
Thanks for the great 2013 and 2014 ralleys

Did any 2014 attendees camp at any of the mc campgrounds in area?
If I would be attending 2015 I would like to camp hopefully. I've been
looking at popup campers. Last time down stayed at iron horse lodge.
Slept in a tent. The whole time accept two nights due to weather.
Is the Microtel prepay or cash on arrival?
Franklin, NC right? Injun Joe is taking that first step...
Phew! 27 hour ride the way I like to do it! By far the furthest I've ever been on a bike.
:cheers:
Microtel Inn Franklin .... 81 Allman Drive, Franklin, NC 28734 # -----> 828 - 349 - 9000
After two great years, count me in for a third
