2007 Deals Gap
Trip
Five of our HDB
members with their 3
babes went to Townsend,
Tennessee for the 2
night's stay at the KOA
Campground. The second
day, we went to the
famed Foothills Parkway
which leads to the one
and the only Deals Gap
ride, so called as the Tail
of the Dragon, a very
difficult road with 318
turns in 11 miles. It
really tested our skills in
turning and clutch
braking. We stopped at
the resort at the end of
the 11 miles ride and
shopped for some shirt
and the souvenirs. We
then went to the
Cherokee reservation
when it started raining.
Luckily, we decided to
park our bike in some
kind of shelter and there
our bike stayed dry
while we shopped at their
stores. The rain
continued beyond our
shopping and we all
decide to go ahead and
ride in the rain. The rain
stopped later on and we
had a very nice ride
afterwards! We stayed
at the cabin one last
night before we head for
Monteagle, Tennessee
where they had a rally
called Thunder on the
Rock. It consists of over
20 thousand bikers. we
had a prearranged
meeting with 9 other
deaf bikers from
Tennessee and we had a
nice time, being among
the 20 thousand
attendees who danced to
the group called .38
Special. Some of us
shopped at the vendors
that sells bike
accessories and clothes.
We left for home the
next day, all tired and all
smiles.

Shelbyville Boogie
About 25 HDB bikers
including their babes went
to Shelbyville for the 2nd
annual Boogie/
cookout. We held a short
meeting to donate $500 to
the Paige Hawkins Fund.
We raised some money
from the film can picks to
help make the $500
donation. We all had a
good time and a good fill
of their wonderful buffet.
What's more, it does not
cost us a thing! We, the
HDB members, want to
thank Christian Copper
and his parents for their
great contribution to
make this event special
for everybody. Everyone
there sure made us feel
like home!
