    The Microtel is taking reservations. I've made mine as have several others. I would call them now, as I expect next years rally to have more attendees.

    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.




    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    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!

    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.

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!!!!!!
    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

    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.
