Re: Deals Gap annual Triples Meet 4-11 May 2014
Not tied to the triples meet but still around the same time period, our DG group has decided to extend our time spent at the Gap. We are now looking at around 10 days and possibly a bit more with a leaving date on the memorial day weekend.
We may have a spot or two available at the house which closes out as someone fills it obviously, If you want to be in one of those spots, PM me for details.

Can't wait to get away and enjoy the meet!
With the new business working six days a week has been good but tiring.
Dofin knows but for others I've started a bike and atv shop in south eastern Illinois.
Moto Guzzi is my only franchise at the moment but more to follow.
This meet I plan on bringing my better half and stay as close to a full week as possible!

I'm going to try very hard to make it this year now that my Buffalo is complete. I think I'll only be able to stay a day or 2. Regardless, I will be focused to make it this year. I'll be a worry wart in the process of trailering my bike that far. I've successfully done it several times to that neck of the woods with other bikes. But, this bike is different. Or maybe, I'll bring the RZ and the large heard of Buffalos can eat my smoke.

In recent years very few Buffalos have shown up for the meet. On the other hand 6-7 RZs usually show up.

Anyone ever show up with the 500 ? I've yet to see one in the flesh. That's a must see bike for myself.

The RZ500 is rare but one usually shows sometime during the week. It has been several years since someone owning a 500 has stayed at the Deal's Gap motel. What is even rarer is a Gamma showing up, seen only one in 10+ years of attending the 2-stroke meet.

Frank if all goes to plan and our trip dates overlap, I may be able to end your 10+ year dry spell.

It's been a few years since our paths have crossed down there but it would be good to see you again. Hope the T is treating you well.Frank T wrote:Allan sounds good...hope to see you and the gang at the Gap.

It will be good to see you again Josh, this time I will probably be on a Yamaha, TDR or RZ.
