Hey, there Mr. Barn....I've been working on a route that takes me a 100 miles out of my way so I can stop in at your place, and we can go together....Still in the rough planning stages, but we might be able to collect a couple of others as we go....

Hey - is there a page to actually register for Drift In 2014 yet?  or not?  I reserved room, but seems like I still need to register.....and Collin just let me know he's taking off work and coming with us.....so 3 bikes...

Looks to me like the main Drift-In website is:
http://www.drift-in.org/index.html

They have a registration page on there.   Guess I'd better register...

Sigh.... I am soooo over winter... All this snow/ice/cold weather is for the people who live up north.... there is a reason that I live in the South for and well this is not it...LOL... I heard my poor bike  :'( crying the other night.... I do believe that it is feeling neglected...lol..

But I will ride next Saturday no matter the weather I have a benefit ride to do for a young boy who has stage IV non-hodgins lymphoma... :(

We will be getting to Maggie Valley that Tuesday... So we can get a little rest from the ride there before we start the group rides.. and I agree with Troll I had fun and meet many new people.. Cant wait too do it again!!

RESERVATION MADE!!!!!!!  I just finished a great conversation with Carol.

I just got a room with one bed.  Leaving the wives at home.  I like going solo most of the time.

Last year I arrived in Helen, Ga on Thursday evening and it was getting dark so I had to find a campsite. I didn't go into town until Friday morning. Had a great time!
Only 7 months till Drift-In 2014...

I made the same assumption about Wed. as you did, and missed the ride, but stayed for the thunderstorm! Won't make that mistake again..This was the most fun I EVER had riding with a group. I always hated group rides, but this is VERY different from the usual, how do I put this...H-D type ride!

Wow, I haven't been on here in a while...

Trailering:  We trailered last year - not my preferred method of travel, but the old man has a rotten back and as mentioned above, better to arrive ready to rock n roll than all crippled up in pain for the week.  Anybody with an issue - well it's their issue!  I personally would ride it if somebody wants to come trailer with the hubby  ;D  And as for Sturgis - I was out there in 12 - actually I rode thru to Bozeman MT and back - thoses posers do NOT ride in! Oh yeah, some do - but 90% of the bikes I saw were heading in on trailers!  In their defense however, if I were to ride it again (from NE Indiana) - I would trailer to the SD/IA border - nothing to see in Indiana, Iowa or Illinois except Corn and pigs - and you can't carry in IL!

Last year there was a ride on Wed. at Drift In, we missed it as we assumed that was check in day only and arrived late in the day.  Whenever you get there will work out just fine - many were there for the whole time, some were way early and several made it only for the weekend - I'm sure Chief is doing a great job planning and their will be plenty to do no matter when you arrive!
Last year's format was to ride during the day and chill at night.

We are looking forward to 2014 Drift In!

Well, I finally took the plunge and made my room reservations for Maggie Valley.  So I'm definitely planning to go, God willing.

I have one question, though  - can anybody tell me what I would miss if I wasn't able to go down early enough to be there for the Wed. 8/13 day?   I know there probably isn't a definite schedule yet, but I figured there will probably be a ride scheduled for that day??  Anybody have any rough schedule together yet??

Come on warm weather....   ;D

now why would you slander my good name so.......I would not give him grief, if you noticed earlier I told him he needs to do what he needs to do, you would be so lucky to be as able as DC is at his age, heck you will be lucky to live as long as DC, you know he was a VIP passenger on the Ark. So do not pick on the poor man.......

And that was back when you could have as many wives as you wanted and no one batted an eye.  I don't care if people don't like it.  That's just how I live.  A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Maggie Valley,  was banning all rallies , etc. due to a lot of citizens and businesses complaining about motorcycle groups there.  Has that changed ? ?

Another 'heads up'.......  we were at a motel that had no smoking, and "never" smoked in the room.  However,  was around the fire pit, which left a smoky smell on some clothes which I  put into a plastic bag when I changed.   However,   they "smelled" what I can only assume was the smoky clothes from being around the fire,  and claimed I had been smoking in the room (never did )  and wanted me to pay a 'fee'.  So,  a caution for anyone around the fire pits.....  you could get 'accused', and how do you prove your innocence ? .
