I just made my reservations at Iron Horse. If your planning on camping you better move quick as we just reserved the last 2 tent sites with elec.

As of last night Maryann was on board so we'll probably both be there. Still riding a BMW?? Yes, but which one? I have an R1100RT/Hannigan and a K1100LT/EML [still in the works but should be ready in time]. The RT will be up for sale in the spring... I guess it's for sale now but it's in storage so I don't have any pictures. We'll most probably be on the K1100LT/EML GT2. My old K1100LT [now Snowbum's rig] was black or maybe it was really dark gray but the new one is Mystic red. I'd prefer the more sedate color but not enough to repaint over a good factory paint job. In order to make the trip we'll be towing the rig. I guess that will get me a lot of flack but I'd rather tow it and get there than ride it and not go.

Welcome to the group. In my opinion a fun loving group of bikers who can ride well safely and really enjoy the life style and the people!

I too plan to attend. Will send the registration form tomorrow. Anyone have a recommendation for a motel if Iron Hose is full?

Robbinsville NC has a few motels, about 10 miles away from Iron Horse. Also Fontana Village

up by the Dam has a motel.

OK, I'm in. Anyone riding from PA, or points South. Slabing it on Hwy 81 most likely RON Roanoke.

Looking forward to seeing you guys at the rally next week. I will be doing a shoot at the Dragon and hope to film some of the rigs there.

See You Down the Road

Thanks, looking forward to seeing all of you next week. Will definitely be on the "Dragon" and probably the "Diamondback" and maybe the "snake".It will be great to meet with some other rig drivers. Ride safe!
