Is KSL dead? Has anyone checked to see if we can get in on our normal weekend? I have always had so much fun I would hate to see it go away.

I, too, miss the get together. I’m also going to pencil in that weekend following Memorial Day 2023 for a Nighthawk/NC/Any Bike get together. It doesn’t have to be at Kickstand, but at least Kickstand will be an option if we chose that weekend.I'm fine with that. I'll pencil it in my calendar. Honestly, I'm not stuck on KSL. Anyplace would be fine. I just miss the get together.
Thanks for the info. I will also plan on arriving at Kickstand on Wednesday, May 31, 2023I heard back from Bobby at Kickstand. They are opening Memorial Weekend. Saturday May 27, 2023. I just wanted to make it clear what year I am talking about. I will arrive on Weds May 31. I’ll be staying in a tent.
I was thinking about Americade this year, I have never been, but it runs the same week. Maybe next year.
From where do you need to haul your bike?If I can find a way to haul the bike, I will be there.
Williston Florida. My little car too small, my wife's Rav 4 doesn't have a tow hitch or tow package and the old F 250 is set up for goose neck, not bumper pulls and diesel is way too expensive. I may ride it but my last attempt to go to the Smokies on it was a failure.From where do you need to haul your bike?
I was heading to the Smokies, picked up a nail in the front tire (which had a tube since I a a bent rim due to a pothole) outside of Macon Georgia, tire went flat and I couldn't find a repair shop or a means to trailer it home, so I rode home 300 miles at 50mph on a flat front tire....Shinko Raven tire did not come apart, just don't like nails....I was able to do the 300 miles at 50mph on US 41 all the way home because it is almost completely straight from Macon to home....only one round about in Lake City Florida proved to be the hardest part of the ride home....Sad to hear that. My F250 diesel has been parked for awhile now too. What happened the last time you attempted to ride?
Wow, that definitely sucked. I can appreciate your desire to trailer it. I’ve mostly had tubeless tires, and always carried a plugging kit and compressor. That’s just out of fear of what you went through. My last trip to Houston - nail in rear then valve stem on front failed, and my last trip out to Vegas - nail. I bought Safeguard wheel and tire protection, which paid 100% of the new tire and install. That together has exceeded the cost of the protection.I was heading to the Smokies, picked up a nail in the front tire (which had a tube since I a a bent rim due to a pothole) outside of Macon Georgia, tire went flat and I couldn't find a repair shop or a means to trailer it home, so I rode home 300 miles at 50mph on a flat front tire....Shinko Raven tire did not come apart, just don't like nails....I was able to do the 300 miles at 50mph on US 41 all the way home because it is almost completely straight from Macon to home....only one round about in Lake City Florida proved to be the hardest part of the ride home....
