2017 Nottarally

The 2017 Nottarally took place between September 28 and October 1.  As usual it was a great time.  The weather was perfect (perhaps a little chilly  Friday and Saturday night).  Food was excellent and prepared by knowledgeable cooks and no one that I know of went hungry.  It was a great weekend filled with a lot of good riding.

The Honey Wagon arrives!

This little minibike with a sidecar was all the rage at Nottarally!

The days were quite warm and sitting in the creek was a good way to cool off.

My campsite

The Kermit Chair ride.  No injuries this year!

I love riding in Appalachia.  

I always like to stop and see Masonic Lodges when I am on the back roads.  This one is near Greenville, TN.

     With this post I am caught up with posts for this year.  I may have one more ride coming up before winter settles in.  I won't know for two more weeks.  You'll just have to wait and see.

Horizons Unlimited North Carolina

The weekend of September 20-23 I spent attending the Horizons Unlimited Traveler's Meeting in Stecoah, NC.  This meeting is very similar to the meeting in Virginia I described a few posts ago.  It is sort of like a family reunion.  To be honest, I see some of these people more than I see some of my family!

The event is held each year at the Iron Horse Motorcycle Resort.  Did I say "resort"?  Yes, I did!  This venue is absolutely fantastic.  Beautiful facilities.

Traditional picture of my bike and tent.  This time with a can of Chef Boyardee included!

This is what we do.  Stand around and talk about motorcycles.

More standing around talking about motorcycles.

BMW GS sidecar.  This will run you at least a couple of $$.

Demonstration on how to ride with a service dog.

There were a lot of presentations by several travelers.  The presentations covered everything from travel photography to Round the World trips.

My next Horizons Unlimited event will probably be the HU meeting in Virginia next year.  I can't wait to see my friends and fellow travelers!!

I have one more trip to post about and I will be caught up!  I hope to have it up later this week.

Stay tuned!
