Wow! You all just made the best Monday I could've asked for. It must be fate. I live 3 streets from the 129 Dragon, in Maryville, TN. We were back and forth on going to the event in Ohio, but now i'll confirm that i'll be here, enjoying everyone from DTT. If I can be of ANY help with organizing this, please let me know, I live here and can tell you anything you'd like to know, we've been here since 93.
I guess its time to start a build thread. My new goal: Riding a few streets over to spend the weekend hanging with you guys, hopefully atop my own completed cafe build.
We've turned our attached garage into a little bike shop for all of our projects, so if needed, we can hep out if anyone has issues. There is also a shop called Cycle Stop located on 129 that can swap tires, etc., if anyone runs into any problems.
I look forward to this, and maybe, considering its 23 pages now, a new stickied thread could be made with the definitive plans so people don't have to browse thru so much information before finding details.
P.S. As for local(nearby) bars, drinking and partying at the camp sites will probably be more entertaining, but Knoxville is a hell of a place to find some fun little clubs and bars for drinking at night if anyone is interested.(No offense to anyone local, I just don't care much for Big Daddys, the nearest bar to 129.) Also, the Time Warp Cafe in Knoxville is a cafe coffee joint that has Tuesday night classic import gatherings, and may be interested in having a meet and greet that weekend, though im sure we'll all be hanging out on the dragon, jumping off the bridge into the lake and hanging at the little pull-offs that now have tables now and pavilions in some places.
BTW: I didn't read this entire thread, so are there more local Maryville DTT people? I'd be very interested in meeting any members in the area, as honestly, i've only Heard of a few cafe bikes in Knoxville, and haven't met anyone else locally who has a cafe or who build cafe bikes.
Thanks everyone, I look forward to the DTT get together. - Cody
