I've spoken with the hotel manager and a friend of mine that lives in the area, and the roads are fine in the Maggie Valley area and SW. Also, the rain that is forecast around the time we will be there is to the N and E. So it's game on for me. BRP may still be closed, but there are plenty of...

Just found out about this event and I'm in! Room booked. Riding over from Memphis. Planning to ride on Sunday and perhaps Monday. Anyone else staying around? I put my forum handle as "Memphomaniac" in the event registration - from a different forum. Been a while since I've been here.

glory racing: I'm not too interested in the TBA ride - thanks though. 400 miles is my max per day in the twisties. twistedcricket: PM sent! BwanaDik: Thanks for the links! Cheers, Bob in Memphis

Is anyone planning to put together some proposed GPS routes for this event? I'd be interested in receiving any routes from riders that know this area. Thanks! Bob

Fantastic routes - thanks to all involved for all the work you put into these! I would like some help picking the 3 highest fun factor routes of the 7. I know this is very subjective, but I would like the opinion of those who know the area. Cheers, Bob in Memphis

I am considering purchasing a 2005 FJR as a parts bike. It is missing the seat, windshield, one muffler, but apart from that, supposedly rideable (obviously after installing a seat and muffler). The reason I am doing this is that I need a few ABS parts (hydraulic unit, etc) for my 2004, and...

Someone had to be there to document this fun :clapping: Bob, sad to be back in Memphis

Here's a link to a bunch of pics, including the ones Bill and I shot of each other riding the banked pavement of Hwy 219 North of Lewisburg: https://www.pbase.com/bobkat/fjr_eom_2007

Thanks for all the hard work guys, it is very much appreciated!

Jeff, I'm leaving from Memphis for points north on Sept 3. I really hate to bug you, but is there any chance of getting the gpx files (or any file format for that matter) by Sept 2, as I'm not bringing a computer, so I won't have a way to load them into my GPS unit after departure. Thanks!

I'm paid up - thanks!

Gary, Jay has a roomy now - got a PM from Bob-ST. Thanks, though, and good luck.

I would like to get some recommended routes so I can load up my Garmin. I will be leaving 2 weeks early on Sept 3, as I am doing a long trip ending with the EOM, and I wanted to get some ideas before leaving. I noticed the web site still has "To Be Announced" in the Rides link, but I'm thinking...

Thanks, Geezer. The check's in the mail.

Geezer, Am I too late to get a T if I send pmt today? I need 1 Large. Regards, Bob

Hi Alan, Nice pics - makes me home sick. I'm from NH originally, been in Memphis now for 25 years. I'm headed up to NH next month - I was planning on riding a route I downloaded from New England Riders named "NH Notches". Check the link here. This one is 406 miles and looks great. Can you...

Wilco, Heidi. I already gave him the link to register - his name is Jay Klahr from Memphis, riding a 2007 BMW K12S. Thanks, and looking forward to this event and meeting you and everyone. Bob in Memphis

A friend of mine who's not signed up with the forum wants to attend (he rides a BMW). He would like to split a non-smoking room with someone, arriving on Friday, leaving on Monday. I've already got a roomy. Anyone out there with half a double room available please PM me.

Jestal: I am attempting to follow some of your work. Could you provide some additional details as to how you accomplished your steps #3-5, especially in the form of pics? For #5, how much of the system did you remove, and where did you plug it? Did you remove the reed valves and the air cutoff...

Richard, I'm considering the holeshot headers with the stock mufflers on my '04 FJR, as I just want to reduce the heat by removing the cat, but don't want the bike to get too loud. Did you notice a heat reduction with Dale's headers? Have you found a suitable muffler to use instead? Regards, Bob
