Dual Sporting @ The 2009 Spring Boone Rally

Smola67 · February 10, 2009, 07:42:35 PM

So this year I am bringing both bikes and wanted to find out who else would be doing the same. I propose Thursday as our dual sport day. Please post up if you have any other ideas on which day we should ride.

My trip Idea includes a round trip from Boone to Brown Mountain which is located just outside of Lenoir NC and back to Boone. Trying to stay on dirt roads as much as possible. Brown Mountain is part of the Pisgah National Forest and is one of my favorite places to ride. It offers easy to very technical routes and only costs $5 for a day pass which must be purchased that riding day at a local gas station.

Here is a link:

You can also get an idea of what the trails are like on youtube

Thanks all and cant wait for Boone.

sounds great! if we can get enough interest, I'll do it.

Looks like 25 miles or more down there.. I'd say let's cram as many bikes into as few trailers as possible and pull them down from Boone. Nice to carry tools and stuff. And if we break one nobody gets stranded.

Jim,
are the trails too much for my FAT arsed BMWer?? I could put D\S tires on it??

Let me know what you "tink"

Tanks,
Nobby

We can do that but I have been prepping my bike for a long dual sport trip and I am psyched to do it on Two OO Wheels. It would be very cool if Someone wanted to tow down and the few of us that wanted to ride would have a support vehicle to back us up if needed. Just an idea. So if someone wants to bring a full on trail or track bike Pisgah is waiting on you.

I will most likely be a no show at the spring rally, but what about the east coast Pig roast, dirty bike, Tobacco, FJ, and Gun fest?

Well ill be bring all my toys to the fall rally as well. All I need now is to build a smoker and we could all pitch in on some Boston butts and Eric could Cook them all day since he wants too.

Everyone who are interested in BBQ could bring their favorite sauce and share. I have a welder, small trailer, so all I need is a 50 gallon drum and some propane plumbing. I think that would be big enough for 6-8 butts. Buns, cole slaw, baked beans, beer and we are in business. oh if someone has some good smoking wood you could bring that as well.

Rally Food. Yum
