Noise , you are a sick man to ride in DC, I have spent this last week commuting between va beach and portsmouth and its sick, DC is 10x worse, u da man
I am staying @ the KSL, probably, sorry they crapped on Todd,
BUT
The triangle core guys have never stayed there, perception is everything, They have treated me and my friends like gold. The only thing they require is open communication. Dont make reservations and try to weezle around them, They cannot book it if you reserve it and if you dont show - they loose money - it is a business. If you have the balls to be open and honest they will do anything to make you happy. I have been open and honest and have not payed for days I did not stay, got discounts on rooms and had an experience everytime that can not be matched anywhere else. It is what you make of it. Everyone has a story about one thing or another, I think i have seen the illegles taking advantage of the campground and our people are getting the blame for the lame crap thats going on.
My Friends were riding back down the BRPW and burned out a stator just shy of Asheville and the only thing I could do was to say I can be there in 12 hours with their trailer. I called Bobby @ the KSL and got my friend and his wife off I40, and a tow over to Wheelers in 30 minutes. thats the same spirit that got Noise's bike off the side of the Dragon @ WF 1 - Its not where we stay but it is and how we act toward each other that makes it what it is. I love you guys and Dwight signed my marriage license, Dog brings 100$ in firewood and Mo gets mad because Ohiomike is staying down the street and enjoying "her fire wood" yes that's fud up (he has always spent 50x more then he ever consumed) and there are 16 other things just like it but there are perceptions vs reality, but, all it takes is a handshake and a smile to change the world. If we pulled the stuff thats happened at previous WFesteses somewhere else, we would still be employing btm_fdr for years in filing injuctions
Its 100 times easier to smile then dig a shallow grave
I hope to see all the KSL vets at the KSL but if not, WTF, may not have seen you anyway, I will see someone new and still have a special experience that I can find nowhere else. Randy and Sherri, I paid for your guest tax....you were on the books as staying with me (RTD4)
#1 They stuck out the tipjar for mikes BBQ @ WFI, - the tip jar is for more than just meals and they run so loosy goosy its up to interpretation, 95% of us give more than generously so when theres a "hinky" I dont blame anyone for getting a bad taste, when they have given then get treated like a dead beat, 90+ % of us get it and do not let it affect us.
Who went and got 200 hours of volunteering and got a metal detector to find a Ring ...Courtney!
the only thing you wold have got from the TWI is a goodbye
My Christmas/Solstist wish is to get back with my ol Drummer - Sangathor for WF5 and his new wife, for some smoky music sessions
