That sure is pretty Triumph. Has the winner been drawn yet?

Geeze I envy you folk in the good 'ol US of A. Always seems to be a rally every way you turn.

Just as a matter of interest - anyone been to the Barber Museum? Looks a great place to visit.

I plan to have some Long Service Leave next year and visit a couple of cousins in the US. I wouldn't mind travelling over to see it....

YES!  It is definitely worth the visit!!  We went while the AMA races were there the first year they opened (at the track).  It was 3 or 4 stories with everything you can imagine - including race cars and fabricating machines.  I spent the most time studying the Britten motorcycle on display.  Fascinating!

Campgrounds for bikes: Robbinsville area, actually Stecoah, NC: Kickstand Lodge and Iron Horse Lodge right beside each other...I went to Kickstand 3 times. Right at the Dragon is a bike motel but pretty busy..may have camping too.

The Iron Horse Lodge is quite nice as well!  PM and I stayed there a few years ago in August, where our local BMW club had its annual campout and rally.  Your choice of tent camping, a bunkhouse, individual cabins or a lodge guest room!  Also a full kitchen that serves breakfast and supper, a nice big area inside with numerous couches and love seats to relax after a hard day of riding the Dragon, the Cherohala Skyway, and other wonderful roads that are only about a half hour away from the lodge itself!  A large sheltered front allows you to park your bike and keep it out of the elements if you desire.   Well worth visiting!  I highly recommend it!  Check it out at:  http://www.ironhorsenc.com/
