Iron Horse Motorcycle Lodge in Stecoah, North Carolina

Waiting for your ARRIVAL


We should have a 2020 Rally Shirt posted in the next few days so Shirt Ordering can begin (more details on that later).

We will follow whatever CoVid-19 protocols are in place such as Social Distancing etc. and so will the staff at the Iron Horse.

Contact Iron Horse directly if you want to book a room: ironhorsenc.com or call: 828.479.3864

Whacky year so it will be a nice break to get away and do some riding in the mountains

Hope to see you there

That's Great .................

yep, for sure, NO repeats of the failed attempt. 2015 i think it was. Hate when that stuff jumps out and happens.
Be it cars or semi, both a problem for us bikers.

Be great if your brother can join you for the ride down & Rally. Extend that big WELCOME to him for us.

Thanks Jeff. He's flakey, so we'll see.

My plans are to make the journey on Thursday morning from North of Detroit. Stay with my twin in Charlotte overnight, then make the 6-hour ride into Stecoah by check-in time on Friday. Leave Monday morning.

Looking forward to meeting you in person, Ian....and showing you the nice Venturer you turned me onto.

[IanDMacDonald]

It'll be fun, Mike. Look forward to meeting you as-well.

Rhonda and I are in and both stoked as usual! Cant wait to see everyone. By the way Brian, are they going to let you guys out or what? Do they know the rally is 2 months away??

FYI. VYR info is published in Motorcycle Classics Magazine. I believe that's on autopilot. My copy came yesterday and I was happy to see it.

Hi Curtis

Am I the "Brian" you referenced? If so...

The border is closed. If it opens, I will not be going, sadly.

Thngs do not look so good in the good ol' USA from my perspective. The level of understanding of this new virus is still quite low. Way too much to learn, just as we did with many illnesses in the past. It seems that mask wearing and distancing is too difficult for some people. I have elderly parents. I would likely have to self isolate for two weeks upon return, and I sure don't want to get it or see someone I love get it because of me.

So, as much as I love seeing the gang and riding those roads, it will have to wait.

Enjoy!

[2manybikes]

Well Brian, we will miss seeing you but understand your position. Hopefully at some point in the near future someone can come up with some answers.
