I'd be interested in meeting some fellow riders at the Gap. I'm in Sevierville about 45min away from the Gap. LMK the dates you come up with.

Well, with the snow that is coming down here now I do not think today would be a good day!! So the way I see it is,
there won't be much of this > ,
so I guess we'll just have to use our extra time from riding for a little more of this>

I would like to attend, but not on the SuperChicken. Would it still be okay to come and hang out and checkout other SuperHawks while riding an SV650S or SuperMoto.

The gap is just perfect for SuperMoto bikes and makes the SuperHawk boring as hell in comparison fo rthe fun factor.

I would say the more the better. Does not matter what your riding as long as you are riding and having a good time!! At least that is the way I see it...

I will fore warn you that once you do that the SuperHawk will take a back seat to the SuperMoto.

I put a couple thousand mile on the TN back twist roads over the past year and a half and three track days at Barber and one at Nashville SuperSpeedway.

CRF is half the weight and half the horse power, but on our roads here in TN it rules over sport bikes.

It is a blast dragging a knee on a Dirt Bike....

Last years Rally I was on My RC... It really does not matter its just great meeting new
People and hanging out, We do not just hang at the Gap last year a group of us did a big loop and we were gone for 12 hours, The GF was more than ready to get off the back of the RC at that point.

Ha ha! I bet!

Planning to be down there the first week of June with several friends from Richmond.

Don, do you remember the roads you took? I'm wanting to maybe run down to Suches, GA one day and looking for advice on a really good loop leaving from Fontana.

What bike and setup are you running, Supermoto wise.? It looks like a Honda 450 or a 650.

CRF450R, she is apart right now getting all new internal in the motor.

Here is a pic before i put lights on her and got her street legal. I bought another set of plastic so i didn't stand out with that #44 going down the road. You will love riding a SuperMoto on the street as it is a different feel and you don't worry about dropping the bike and doing a $1000 worth of plastic damage minumum.

And of course one of my fav pics at the gap on Formerly known as Shade tree corner, funny thing is that is a great turn to get a knee down as it has two apexes in what i would guess is about a 270 degree turn

I'll probably be at the Gap that weekend anyway. It would be cool to ride though with a group of Superhawks and to meet some people from the board.

I am planning on being down there sometime that week (4/26-5/3). Not sure I'll be at the Gap the whole week but I'm flexible during that time period. Is there still intrest in a meet and ride?
I would like to hook up for a night ride up the foothills parkway. The views of Knoxville lights are incredible but I wouldn't want to ride at night alone. Any locals coming out to play?

Lets get it started!
Roll call:
1. runrowdy (Dave) 4/25 - 5/3
2.
3.
4.
5.
