I Will Throw This Sucka Based On Your Response.


Fall Brings New Territory And More Offroad. As Epic As The AA300 Is This One.


Do You Want It, Or Do You Not?


Post It If Ya Want It, Because This Ride Will Only Happen If You, The Rider, Wants It.

[pielet97]

I'm heavily date dependent. When?

[Rock Monster]

I can't go because I live in California but I want it just for the ride report you will post afterwords.:worthy:

[yanni23]

What does Labor Day Weekend sound like? Sept. 5-6......

[markey]

I would definitely drive down for the trip but labor day weekend is no good for me...looking forward to the ride report!

[yanni23]

Oct. 17th and 18th anyone? Labor Day is probably too much of a hassle.....

[pielet97]

I should be able to make either. You may want to post some picts, etc to get people excited.

[COAL RUN]

I would sure try to make it. I am currently bike less, but should have my new to me TE450 in a week or 2:banana: :banana:

[markey]

yeah if you could put together a brief summary of the type of riding and area you plan to hit I can pass along to my riding group and see if I can drum up some interest. for example, dual sport only, night riding potential, single track or fire roads, etc.

[yanni23]

2 Days. Day 1.....You need a plate. Day 2....No plate necessary. No fees of any kind. Show up and ride. This is not like the AA300. Hardly any road or gravel to speak of. Day 1 is 94 miles of offroad and 7 miles of pavement. Day 2 is all offroad. No singletrack. Gnarly rocks, hillclimbin', and 2trackin' both days. :cheers:

[runmikeyrun]

Alrighty then! We'll have to make this ride!:thumbsup:

[DirtMonkey8]

I want more! Let's ride!

[linustitus]

Going to be living and working in Shenandoah National Park, VA for the next three months and won't be able to ride so I will be itching to ride some of that area when I'm done. A lot of time and chips to fall before that date, so I want to but who knows what will happen before then. Good luck getting things together and look forward to a ride report if I don't somehow make it.

[Janet from Joisey]

YanniPalooza ! !

Sounds great, nice pics, love the carnage shots!

We'll be tapped out of vac before Oct; heading to Moab in Sept.

Look forward to the RR.

Anyone looking for an epic ride in the forest of the SE, Yanni and his family are the real deal.

(. . . just another Yanni groupie)
:applause:

[yanni23]

Thanks guys. Consider this one a ride with more edge than the AA300. I hope that the date will allow folks to come. I will not be providing anything for this one. It's just a fun ride. On Day 1 you will NEED to be able to go 100 miles with no gas-stops. I feel ya....I have a stock tank on my KLX450R that gets 60 miles before Reserve. That's why I carry fuel bottles.

Day 2 is shorter and will be fun. Hop up the road via pavement, and end up at the trails. This is a completely different area than the AA300. As this thing goes on, my plans include: a band and some kinda HQ. Right now I just have the area/ride.

Wish ya could make it Janet! You and Glenn would have a ball! Johnny Africa, I'll see ya very shortly we'll sample some of this stuff. :ride:

Yanni, what are your favorite "fuel bottles"?

Go with the 33oz. I carry 2 of them to get me close to 3 gallons of gas total/100 miles before Reserve. I wear mine in the back of my Ogio Flight Vest. :thumbsup:

Ya, I need one of those too(flight vest). Damn its expensive keeping up with the Yanni's of this world!:thumbsup:

[yanni23]

Currently I'm trying to figure out where to HQ from. It will likely be primitive camping, or in somebody's field (private). Any idea's on anything else?

[redrider420]

what about those plush cabins with the hottubs that you and your girl stayed in, is it a different area. field,primitive camping it doesnt matter as long as we're ridin. What area is gonna be by the way?

[pielet97]

Access to a shower is a huge plus, for all involved:smirk:

[yanni23]

I have just recieved confirmation from a member on here at TT.

The HQ is on PRIVATE PROPERTY. That means we do whatever we want. The guy will post up here shortly. This man is responsible for showing me what I know in the area we'll be in. He is the reason this thing is happening, and me/him will be scouting this thing for even more hillclimbs and rediculously rocky terrain.

No AA300 here. This one is almost entirely offroad. Hillclimbs, 2track, crazy scenic views. More intense. More of the goods. All that shiite.

This ride is truly a ''Local's Special". No fee's, no BS, just hardcore terrain right in the backyard of WNC that most native's don't know is there. Primitive camping is coming, possible shelter's, and down-home style Southern Hospitality is what this one is about.



If you can guess who this rider is (he's here on TT), he is the man behind the awesome hook-up of Private Property for our HQ. Stay tuned. :ride:

Water is still questionable but there is a good spot on the creek to bath right off the asphalt. Will work on the shower issue.

[SRM360]

I want to do the ride. I live in Tuckasegee now so any scouting near here Im in for that too! So Kelloggss were you the soon to chime in property owner?

[kelloggss]

That would be me. I took the whole crew up there thursday and did a lot of clean-up and Jerry and Adam will be working up there next week to finish the cabin. It will be an awesome time.
