Boy am I popular.... Maybe Ill do the Gap on the way to Marrietta this year... Can you Ohioans please remove all the gravel from the road before May? Last year I did a 2 wheeled slide from white line to white line from hitting some Ohio Traction Control.

I'm going in May..

Animal · 03-12-2004, 5:36 PM

A whole bunch of us Canadians will be going down at the end of May. We have a long weekend that we call the May Two-Four. I believe that the entire CROT has been booked by Canadians and even some of Fontana Village. If any of you local guys are out that way look for the Euro colours (colors) and say Hey Eh!

firebladetoronto · 03-12-2004, 8:57 PM

Those damn slow Canadians.....better get out of my way....Hey Animal...

Same here in Wisconsin. Gravel in the corners separates the men from the boys.

Wait till fall and you have a field corn mix. Yellow is easier to see for sure.

There is a about 10 of us from Indiana going down for memorial day weekend. Well have to fight traffic for a clean run but anytime at the dragon is good.

sinister988 · 03-18-2004, 11:06 PM

I've never done the Dragon, but I found this......

The guy doesn't seem to be pushing very hard, but if you don't know the area very well, it's better to be safe than sorry

fl-929 · 03-19-2004, 12:11 AM

Just watch out for moron's like this at Gap.

slowpoke · 03-19-2004, 11:46 AM

Cages aren't the only ones that go left of center, unfortunately. I had a couple of gixxers and I think an R1 about hit me head on in MY lane while I was there. And that was on a Tuesday, I've heard the weekends are pretty bad.

The local squids around here do that tooo!? Crossing the double yellow cause they can't ride well enough to keep it in their own lane! WTF!? Stay in your lane Ahole, bad enough I have to worry about a car, now I gotta worry about other bikes too? Gees...

OSIRIS · 03-19-2004, 12:25 PM

Hopefully I'll be able to make it this time

*kf4mtw* · 02-08-2005, 8:36 AM

Well, what happened, where's the post ride comments, did ya'll go? It's getting to be that time again and the hurricanes eliminated my first trip there. I'm putting both bikes in my van and going in another month or two.

This is the only mention of Deals Gap I found here.

Funny a whole bunch of us(also from canada) will be going on 2-4 too...you guys that live there had better be ready for some lap traffic...

I think that there is going to be 4 of us going so far, this will be three years in a row

Keep an eye out for the Ontario plates and dont be a stranger, us canadians are a freindly bunch

Well Damnit! there's probably dozens of people still there searching the mountainsides for your remains, don't you think maybe you should have said you weren't going?
