The BMW Riders Assoc rally is to be held at The Biltmore in Asheville, NC in June this year.  Just curious who among us is planning on attending?

I'm planning to be there, with a handful of folks out of Virginia, and some of the guys from the TVR (Twin Valley Riders) club in Roanoke are coming too.

Come on down, Sue!   We would love to hook up with you!  Graham and I haven't done a long trip (long, for us) since the trip to Cass, WV when we met up with you.  Was that really 2 years ago?!?!

The RA rally at Biltmore should be great. Sue, get on down here!
Actually, since I'm "new" in the airhead world, I'm thinking about the "Gathering of the Clans" at High Country Motorcycle Camp again, where a bunch of us met up, what, 4-5 years ago? Anyone else maybe up for it? 8-)

Steve,  I still don't believe it.  I haven't seen any pictures!  
Get out there and shoot!  [smiley=camera_sm.jpg]

Where, when is the gathering? Do you have any details?

Yeah, it's been a busy week, plus I believe there's some serious operator error going on here  ;), but I'm working on getting some pics together. I'll have to admit that jumping on the much  lighter and flickable R65 again is like coming home, I'm loving it. Still wild about the Guzzis, but just sayin', I'm having big fun here!;)

As far as The Gathering, it's June 13-16, back at High Country,
http://highcountrymotorcyclecamp.com/ , where about a dozen of us first met up 4-5-6 years ago, and when the R65 flag was created and sent out on its' neverending world tour. There are a few great group pics of us youngsters somewhere up in here, I just don't remember where! :P

I don't see one person I recognize from Brooklyn, NY.   I guess I'm not going.

Notice that Not-so-Fast Ed hasn't been heard from for a long time. I think Justin and I discussed this awhile back and found no sign of him. :(  he was once very active in our discussions on the forum and lots of fun....like Monte!! :)

On the Gathering of the Clans weekend I'll be attending our National Vintage Club's rally. As I said earlier, just maybe if I decide not to ride west I'd give serious thought to going to the RA...just keep riding after Vintage rally...gee that saves me a whole 2.5 hrs. riding south! :D

I've committed to going to the RA Rally so if anyone is interested in meeting up send me a PM and I'll pass along my cell phone.  I'm planning on camping.  Hope to see several of you there.  -Mike
