  • Greg "GT" Turner (XS Southeast)

    Long time attendees of the Southeast rally and many others who have been touched by the kindness and hospitality of Greg "GT" Turner. Will be saddened by the news of his passing this afternoon.


    GT is front and center

    Please take a moment and pray for his family, or meditate on his life.
    GT and Britt made the Two Wheels Only motorcycle campground and lodge not only a place to camp, but, a motorcycle haven, a destination, and one of the best places to eat in North Georgia.
    Godspeed GT. You will be fondly remembered, and sorely missed.

    Here's one of Brit showing how they took care of their customers.


    That's GT wearing horns, with Brit.

      Sorry to hear of GT's passing. I count myself fortunate to have met him and enjoyed staying at TWO.

        Sorry I never got to meet GT and I regret that. I rode passed Two Wheels a couple times, but didn’t stop in. Prayers going up for family and friends of GT

            GT's passing

            Rest in Peace, Greg Turner~TWO
            I just got word from Mimi White that our old friend, GT passed earlier today.
            My condolences to GT's family and especially Brit.
            Many of you may remember the "rustic" nature of TWO during Frank Cheek's tenure and certainly there are hundreds of riders forever grateful for Frank's vision.

            However, there are many more riders who will always be appreciative of the charming upgrades instituted by Brit and GT. TWO blossomed, literally, under their stewardship. With their guidance, and the efforts of a small group of energetic employees, TWO became not only a place for riders to visit, but it was a place where you were made to feel welcome. There was always a smiling face, cold water, iced tea and sweets for the weary rider to replenish their sagging energy. And for those lucky enough to visit on Friday and Saturday nights, the promise of a well-crafted evening meal was there for those willing to wait. TWO at that time, was a haven for two-wheeled brothers and sisters and the mood there was always one of easy, good times. Not before Brit and GT owned the business, nor since they walked away from TWO has that resort been such a polished expression of genuine hospitality.

            Let us all take a moment to remember GT Turner as a man that, for ever how briefly, lived a dream and in turn gave us a one to be cherished forever.
            ~peace to GT and all those that mourn his passing

              The scene outside funeral home today. GT had a good sendoff. Lots of folks got up to share. We all sang the Motorcycle Song along with Arlo Guthrie before our departure. GT had a full life and a lot of friends.
