The last few days I have seen the most road kill I have seen in a long time. i was mostly riding sweep. Thought about it on the ride home and had a couple revelations.
1. A bird was peeled off the leg shield of one scoot at a stop.
2. A rider complained that with their face shield up the scoot in front splattered her with road kill guts.

WAS THERE SOMEONE IN THE 14 BIKES IN FRONT OF ME SLAUGHTERING GOD'S INNOCENT CREATURES?

I too am home. Had a great ride home. Overcast and gloomy for most of the final 2.5 hours, but no rain. Nearly a thousand miles for me without a drop of presip.

Great to see everyone.

Missed the "regulars" that couldn't make it this trip - look forward to seeing you guys in the Spring, hopefully someplace new in VA/WVA.

I wish Vogel would fix their plumbing and wifi problems. Oh, and perhaps get rid of the rodents too. I believe we too had a critter in our cabin, making a snack of OAD's tea cake from Tellico Grains. Otherwise, it's a great setup for our group. (Other than that Mrs Lincoln, how did you like the play?).

Back home. I was sad to leave. This trip went by so fast. I wanted the late night chats and laughs to continue. That lamb BBQ... Thank you for that Motovista. It was the best I have had in a long time.

So...I just found a hitch in our plans for the tentative location for next spring at Douthat State Park. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day you have to rent cabins for a minimum of 7 days. We're going to have to choose between an earlier date or finding a different location.

One reason we were thinking of the first week of June is the temperature. For this location the average temps for May 20 are a low of 47 and a high of 72. For June 4 it's a low of 51 and high of 76.

I can start looking at some alternative locations. In the meantime, what say you all?

I'm in for the night in Indy. Still about 300 miles to home tomorrow, but I was done after about 550 today.

Many thanks to M4DM4X for recommending I use Priceline to get my room. I managed to get a 2.5 star for practically nothing

I've got some more pics, but the WiFi here is only marginally better than at Vogel, so they'll probably have to wait for tomorrow...

Sorry I missed you guys...
I took a Ride up to Two on Sunday hoping to run into someone.
I got the MP3/250 back put together.
Those guys make a Great Breakfast.

I was not a big fan of the Parking lot though with all the Gravel.
While I was reading mail on my iPhone one of the bikes went down as they were leaving.

My club, 7 Bridges Scooter Club, went to Hungry Mother near Marion, VA this year in the last week of April. It was cold much of the time but we were OK. The only bad weather was cold and rain on day two of riding up. I would think that mid May would work. The down side for me is that it is 650 miles to get there. But Mike rides further than that to get to NC, so I can do it.

What did you think of the rides and accommodations Bill?

Hungry Mother actually came up in the conversation of a location. About 150 miles southwest of Douthat. At the southern end of Back Of The Dragon a good ride. I road all of 16 from Ohio through West Virginia and into Virginia a couple years ago - great ride. Lots of good roads in the area.

Of course the thing to remember is Amy and Rick are setting up the gathering. They are doing the real work and they get to pick the location.

At least that is the situation as I see it.

And a BIG THANK YOU to Amy and Rick!!!

I agree with Bill that the weather in May shouldn't be a big deal. If Douthat looks great, we can do it in May. If Rick and Amy like someplace else, that's great too and we can reconsider the date.

We stayed in cabins. These were varied in quality, but I shared a historic log cabin that we loved. Others were comfortable but not nearly as quaint.

The place has the usual WiFi / cell service issues, but I didn't care.

The area has great roads with some of the best rides I have ever taken.

But wherever Rick and Amy choose is fine with me.

I realize that, as a no-show, my vote counts for less but late May (vs. early June) is just fine with me. Personally, I have heated jacket and gloves so it affects me less. However, if the rides just start an hour later, then the temperature usually warms up very quickly between eight and nine, and even more between nine and ten.

And I agree with Fuzzy - if Amy and Rick are setting up the rides and finding the place to stay then they are doing all the work and should get the final say in when/when/how. On that note, there is a rider on the Battle Scooter section of ADVRider that is from south/central VA. He ran us (different riding group) through some good roads near Roanoke a few years ago. If you post on there he might make some suggestions on road choices or want to join in. He recently picked up a used BV 350, so at least he rides Italian.

Sounds like a good weekend. I debated trying to get down there Friday but must have gotten out of the wrong side of the bed that day. Still irritated by the Vespa letting me down. Next time I'll come down on the BV 350.

Hope everybody got home safe by now.

I'm back home, safe and sound. Well, at least on the last leg. I did have one of my speaker grills jump off as I was leaving my lunch stop, but I was able to find it and jam it back in...

Pictures will be forthcoming, after I go restock my fridge...

Thanks again to everyone who helped make the event so enjoyable!

Let's stick with Douthat and change the date to May 19-21. It looks like a great place to stay and there are hundreds of miles of gorgeous roads in all directions. It's also the most convenient of the available options for us to travel over to scout out our rides.

Thank you! Looking forward to lots of journeys on these two bikes as well as more on the scoots.

(I took my saddle bag cases off, but I do have matching ones like Rick's bike)
The extra stuff we ordered will be in most likely in a week or two

We're going to stick with the location and change the date to May 19-21. I looked around quite a bit for other venues for the first weekend in June but either they wouldn't accommodate our group or they were further away and it would be tough for us to get there to scout things out.

I started a new thread for the gathering in the MP3 forum.

A few of you asked about the map decal I have on my scoot. As promised, here is the link to Two Wheel Vinyl. It's run by a guy named Nick Serpas from Ooltewah, TN.

Motovista,

Hope those dogs don't sleep in the bedroom cause it looks like you are in for a stinky night. Razz emoticon

The last few days I have seen the most road kill I have seen in a long time. i was mostly riding sweep. Thought about it on the ride home and had a couple revelations.
1. A bird was peeled off the leg shield of one scoot at a stop.
2. A rider complained that with their face shield up the scoot in front splattered her with road kill guts.

WAS THERE SOMEONE IN THE 14 BIKES IN FRONT OF ME SLAUGHTERING GOD'S INNOCENT CREATURES?
A bird kamakazied right into my helmet and I believe OAD ran over a chipmunk or two. Alvin will be performing solo now that Simon and Theodore are out of the picture.

I by no means should be the deciding factor, but I am at a conference in Anchorage Labor Day weekend and then I am HOME. I will so be there in June, but am still in the bush in May -
