8) Yes... it's coming up quickly... July 24th-27th, 2008
Anyone planning on going? & does anyone know when pre-registration closes?

By the way... isn't that poster/web site look, awesome?!!

(Wish those across the big-puddle could attend more easily!)

There are some of us from Central VA doing the "fly by the seat of your pants route". We have a start time, an arrival day, and a general idea of the way to go . Thats our plan.

WE WILL SEE YOU THERE Laughing emoticon

You are riding in from VA? Are you going to trailer the bikes or ride them? Pretty cool.

That's exciting! I should have my vespa by then, but I wouldn't be ready for it yet, skills-wise. Maybe next year, though.

I'm riding in from Pittsburgh to Deals Gap, My hasty plan so far is to camp at Fontana so I can do the Dragon Run with the Amerivespa group the next day, and then follow them to Chattanooga. (Heck, if I get there early enough and I'm caffeined-up enough, I'll probably run the Dragon myself on the way in )

Last year I said I wasn't going to trailer, and I did. This year, barring any unforeseen schedule changes, I'm panning on riding. I'm still working on a route...so far I just Googled up an "avoid interstates" route to the Dragon, but I haven't checked it out or tweaked it yet.

It would be nice connecting with a few scooterists from Boston on the way down.

Of course you're right! I was looking at my itinerary. Tuesday we're staying in Middletown. My bad.

Shame ... i don't think i'm going to make it ... i've got a lambretta to build and 3 weeks to do it. If i get it done ahead of time, maybe i'll reward myself and show up unannounced.

Anyways, would have been nice to have met you there.

i'm embarrassingly trucking my scoot up from birmingham. my little sprint isn't running just right and won't hang well enough with the bigger scoots so i'm going to be the chase truck. the good news is that i'm bringing back coolers full of illegal beer though.
