@Tripod, keep this under wraps...I've got a "friend" who is trying to shoot a couple of satellite photos for me of the Maggie Valley area. Just talked to him today and he felt "sorry" for me. Said he wanted to make it feel like I was there. If the photos come out pretty clear, I'll send them along. Can't wait to see if he catches some of the SSITS!!!! Pass along to everyone, "have fun and be safe"!!

Arrived Maggie Valley Monday afternoon and went for a ride. GPS then took us down 13 miles of bad road. We are talking deer hunting trail, one lane, freshly graded. You could just see the banjos in the trees. Funny thing is they had designated parking areas. Don't know if they were for deer hunters or date central here. Road got worse after this point. Jezebel got a wash Tuesday morning.
Day one of SSITS 2016, met several forum members and managed to miss out on all the small group ride outs. Hit the Blue Ridge Highway and a rain shower, had to slap the top back on, and Jezebel needs another bath.

Met @funinthesun, @FunCycle, @allison, @Painter, @Cameron Roberts, @MACAWS and few dozen more..... still have not met Mr @Bill Martin and his bride..., @EjFord, or @rabtech..(nabbed us a forum t shirt and decal) time for official meet and greet...
Then maybe a long island iced tea? Wheres a bar and grill close to comfort inn? All this riding..... I sure am thirsty!
Short story time.... after breakfast, I turned to look outside and couldve placed MONEY on the couple sitting outside being bill and his bride... grabbed airoutlaw, and said hey! Thats bill and.... lets go say hello! Airoutlaw looks at me and says, are you sure your ready to embarrass yourself?? I said I know thats him!..... he was smoking a cigar, and his wife looked just like her from the picture!.....
Theres a reason I dont gamble...... it was somebody else...

Meeting new friends...

(rest of us need to start our own little pity-party!Wouldve liked to have taken pictures at the meet and greet... but it was raining, slings all under coverage (except for those whose owners havent sprung for a cover yet...
) Tomorrow is the dragon ride, and well... looks like we're clear til 12noon... we had a nice invitation to join others for a nite cap, but took a raincheck offer for another night. So... a night in with food delivery, @airoutlaw, and Bud...
Here's to you @Chubs, @NatomasSlingshot1, @Tripod, @V-SHOT and @JimM -
one less participant than planned. We had to scratch due to a family isue, and the bad weather forcast. I pray you all have safe rides under fair skys. I am heartbroken we didnt make it. Was looking to unveil my latest mod. Oh well, maybe Arkansas or rRockie @ivor any way to get my goodie bag?
Sorry Bro, that totally sucks...

I have some pictures... I will start posting them tomorrow. I have to apologize to everyone because I have been busy getting stuff setup and meeting everyone. My wife reminded me today that I need to post pictures of everything here (she keeps me on track and focused) ... I will have plenty tomorrow when I get back from the ride thru the gap..
