I'd highly recommend fontana village as a place to stay (Stay in the central lodge tho you DON"T want to hassle with the cabins which are strewn all over the mountain in a dizzying array, it's tough to find your cabin at nite.)

Will you make the meet?

Its looking like "Two Wheeled Inn" and "Fontana" are the places everyone is going to be staying.
 
Love how you put my name down man. LOL. Not sure its gonna work out due to wedding in New England that weekend. Are you calling a few places to see if you can get a group rate on hotel rooms for us all? Doesnt hurt to ask right? Use AAA, military, AARP (lol) or any type of request to inquire ya know? Did those two places say if they would extend any discount on rooms to block off?

Again, very good initiative my friend. Super time to put faces to names and such.
There are some members I truly would like to meet face to face! ;)
 
Thank you for organizing this.

I went to the gap about 4 years ago and I had an absolute blast. My buddies and I made plans to make it an annual event.

However, the following year the police presence grew to be absurd . . . I gave up on the notion of returning and never looked back.

Have things changed? Hopefully this won't turn into a fishing expedition for the revenue collection team with the blue lights?
 
Hmmmmm

Yeah I was wondering about this myself. Easy pickens for them with the guys on bikes I bet! Hey is this Ali who got his bike from Duc Bond or someone else? If you are in DC area perhaps you would like to meet up with the rest of the crew when we do local meets? Send Capt CF a PM or me, and keep your eyes out for the thread on our DC, MD, VA meets. :D
 
It's peaks and valleys.

I've been there for a week where I haven't seen a single officer, and then weeks where I've seen way to many.

Ride the Gap early in the morning, and late in the evening.

October is when the tourists come out to view the changing of the colors. There isn't a large enough group to reserve a set of rooms, and the reality is we are less than 2 months away.

Fontana likes 6 months notice at least typically.

Tomorrow I'm going to call the Two Wheel Inn, but I don't expect a group rate. It's too late in the game. Their rates are already cheap.

Gunny no excuses Brother. I'm not having it.;)

No this is not Ali. You misread Ai (爱)for Ali ;)
Thanks for the invite. I travel often - too often sometimes - to both coasts and beyond. I will be on the lookout for the new board and local meets.
 
The Two Wheel Inn is expecting your calls.

828-479-4248

Ask for Linda. They have plenty of rooms. Ask for the Ducati 1199 Group. She is going to put our rooms together.
 
No panigale anymore so probably wont'. I'll be going to the US desmo ducs fly south rally sept 13-15, this is in Murphy NC which is pretty close to deals gap (maybe 1 1/2hrs).
Been going to these events for years.

O RLY?

Then I've probably met you at some point in the past Been going to Calandro's events off/on for the past 15 years. And I'm planning on being at Murphy.

Also have made reservations at Two Wheel Inn (per Souls' post) for Oct 10-12th for this Dragon meet-up. Should be fun.
 
HI Charlie,
Oops. that was me, I accidentally edited EVOL's post instead of quoting, so it looks like he said that.

we usually have about 60 or so mostly duc riders. The admission fee pays for pizza friday, dinner sat. a door prize and usually an event t-shirt. Been going to these events for years.

Check out the rattler while you are up there. I think its 290 corners in 24 miles and its got less traffic than the dragon most days. Fun alternative.

Via SOULRIDER, he has handled the leg work at Two Wheeled Inn for us.

Thanks again!
 
I just booked the night of the 10th and 11th at Two Wheeled Inn. Im planning on heading home the 12th.

Its $75/night and I booked it for 3 people.

The meet is getting larger!!

:D
 
Just saw this. I am 99% in. Just told the wife. She is checking her dates, might join as passenger (again)

Cheers from another Greenviller

Ah good.

When I saw her on the back of your Pani at ECMIV, I thought "Now there's a brave woman". A passenger just looks so precarious there - especially someone as tall as your wife.
