Default Thunder in the Valley

Anyone else going to The Thunder in the valley shindig in Maggie Valley May4-6? Anyone been before? The boys and I are heading out on the 3rd for a few days of R&R. I was wondering if there were any must do's besides the obvious...Dragon, Wheels of Time. etc...etc. I've been to Murphy, Bryson City and Franklin, but not on the scoot...Are they biker friendly?
