They got a buffet? Tod will need something to graze on.

[jetmechmarty]

No buffet, but I had a very good grilled bologna sandwich. The menu is on the website in my previous post. Here are some cell phone photos from the lunch stop at Tellico Plains, TN.

On the Tellico Plains square, that's Mike Farrington, his bike behind mine.

There was a big chopper in the dining room. I think the place is biker friendly.

Brent has something very shiny for me.

Just a taste. Jeff will have better ones.

Man, If I did not have the threat of ending up in divorce court, that is starting to look like a great ride you got put together there. I even got all my issues figured out on the bike for now. So that means if I plan to come, the next one will pop up about three miles from the gathering point.

Tod may need a grazing point, but by Sunday afternoon, it will be many many miles from NC.

As far as the court date goes, please bring her. I'm bringing mine. She actually wants to come! We have a great time at the lodge, and everywhere else we go.

The bike is ALWAYS going to have issues. It's old. You'll have a hard time finding a gathering of more XS knowledge. If your bike gets sick, the doctor is in!

[BA80]

Buy her a ring or something.

If your bike breaks you don't think there are enough of us the to screw it up worse?

C'mon down Don. Summer is about over.

[trbig]

Heck, Don... We'll even point out all the guardrails for you to miss!

[Old Red]

Just a little over a month and Iron Horse here we come!!!

New to the Rally

I was originally going to be staying at another location for the Rally (my first one) this year. But that has changed, and I have a room now at the Iron Horse. Bringing my brother along. He has one of those Bavarian bikes. (hope that's ok).

Anyway, looking forward to seeing in person all of you who are attending.

I think you will like staying at that Iron Horse. It is a great place to just hang out at. The last time I was there one day was a total rain out, but we had a good time watching movies, playing pool and talking bikes.
