The location frankly sucked in my opinion. Ive been looking at places on 28 or Fontana or Robbinsville. I personally never had a problem with Fontana besides them having the refrigerator turned off when we arrived. Bullshit it’s 45 mins to the gap on a slow fucking grom. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cOoTeR 7,939 Report post Posted January 31 Some friends and I are going to be there June 2nd-7th. We booked an AirBnB place in Madisonville. The process for those are pretty good if you guys want another option. There are 7 of us staying there we have a garage and its only going to be $125 a person for the whole stay. I prefer Robinsville but the place were staying is worth the longer drive. We've had a good time at the two wheel inn as well. If the trip dates overlap maybe I'll swing by to say hello.

what 1,090 Report post Posted February 6 (edited) I'm just excited to get my (by then, hopefully around 14hp) Grom down in the tight twisties. I should have a few race weekend under my belt on the bike by then so I should be pretty comfortable on it. 2 things left to do on it... Probably going to get it ported by Kerr and I might as well swap in a more aggressive cam while the top end is apart anyway. "Cheap build" is out the window at this point, lol...

I don't plan to just stay on the dragon. I won't be doing the 400 mile loop down in to GA on the Grom but anything else is fair game. I want to go back to that BBQ place in Gatlinburg for sure. Looks like a good bit of fun roads to the NE of the gap/Gatlinburg as well. I'm down to just explore this year. 22 minutes ago, 2talltim said: I'm planning on going the 6th-9th (pending vacay approval) I'm game for a cabin or split a room or just going on my own and doing a bunk at the Iron Horse.
