Yea, I like relaxing in a pool after a long days ride....No pool at the Microtel. ..We can still ride together..
Is the Rally still being held? With the Covid 19 crap making a comeback, many states are starting to shut things down again. Hopefully the Rally will go on as planned
Hopefully N.C. won't shut the motels down. Im still planning to attend, until I hear otherwise.
I’m leaving home Sunday for a 7-10 day trip there and haven’t heard anything negative yet, besides some services still closed that haven’t reopened yet. I have friends there keeping an eye open for me. I’m concerned too. That doesn’t speak for September.
I just spent a few days in Wyoming. Hotels are fine unless you want the free breakfast. Restaurants and bars are not so good. You pretty much need to use fast food or takeout. Admittedly Wyoming is a state with relatively few cases.
I may spin down there for this. Been a long time since I've seen a lot of you. It's all dependent on this COVID thing though... I have a feeling it's going to ramp up again after the summer and if places start shutting down again... well I don't feel like sleeping in a tent in a parking lot down there. :icon_wink:
I just returned from Asheville NC for a Valkyrie rally and they seem to have the hotel thing
worked out fairly well.
They clean the hell out of the rooms and then will not come back into your room
unless you ask them to.
Everyone was wearing a mask and I know some have rebelled against this but I am 72 and
have to look out for myself when it comes to this.
I know NC has done fairly well with this virus at this point in time.

I was thinking, I know that could be dangerous! What if at the rally someone who knows the Nav system could give a class on it? What if someone who might have the software update for Nav or android phones brings it? Wat if some of our sponsors have items they could install on a bike and talk about? Just thinking...."coffee"
I just left NC and the surrounding area. I can only say that as of now, the end of July, there are no issues with hotels or restaurants, besides the normal mask wearing requests. Some restaurants are still closed, but there’s no issue finding hotels or places to eat. All restrooms were open at every establishment I went to also. Now, on the BRP, not all visitor centers were open. That’s today, not September, I realize. It’s going to be hard to predict the future like that.
School will be open by then so it should be even better!
Oh crap, where did I park? Which one is mine?
Getting old is hell.
If NC gets scrubbed I would like to visit Florida . Pensicola, Perdido Key area. At least phantom and 53driver know the area. If some stuff is down I could always enjoy the beach.
See, the beach . Nice
Hmmm, thats closer to tropical Oklahoma.
Gentlemen,
If you have any accessories that you would like to trade, sell or give away. Bring them to the Rally.
As we have said before, this will be a simple gathering.
Have a few leftover shirts, not all sizes that I will bring. I still have a couple of accessories
Ladies and Gentlemen....
I spoke with the Hotel this morning

Myself and Sandy will be attending, staying in Franklin, not Asheville right?
Staying just down the road in another motel I really like. I can park by my room door and even under an awning if raining. Some good roads in that area: Attachment 7633
