SLINGSHOTS IN THE SMOKIES 2020

  • It's not that hot....It's somewhat cooler in the mountains and the rains are more localized and consistent (late afternoon). It does mean there will be HOT women there;)..I just got a call from Comfort Inn also to switch the dates. They said they were relatively light for that week in August and should be able to move everyone over that wants to.

  • Just realized I'm going to have to burn an additional vacation day now if I want to come on Monday. 5/25 was Memorial day and a day off for me. Guess that's pretty much a non-issue for most here ^^.

  • Here is a thought. We are staying at the Quality Inn. I moved my reservation and it went up a bit. I cancelled and rescheduled and it dropped even lower than the reservation before. WOW. Note: We are coming in week before and leaving early so we don't have the group rates.. Just Sayin...

    Group rates aren't always the best price...

  • yes we still planning in September if virus let’s us

    Boomer, Teresa and I are really looking at going and since business is in the toilet we may be able too. Are you going to trailer or ride and is their any plans to join up with anyone else?


    This is one we have wanted to make in the past and have heard so much about it would be great if it works out. One of the things that worries us is since the last SSroadster events haven't been all that great what do you think about this one?

    SITS is a Slingshot Roadsters event. It was the first major event and has been good. I wasn't real happy with the Kerrville event last Spring. Maggie Valley and the Smokes a great place to ride.
