Hey guys, about 7 years ago I got back into riding (after a 30+ year hiatus). When I got back into riding, I started small with a Suzuki gz250 and joined the Honda Rebel 125 250 450 ? Index page (as in Honda Rebel) forum. The forum occasionally (1-2 times a year) has a meetup either in Georgia, NC or Ohio. The end of May we are having a meetup in Andrews, NC (about 30 minutes from the Dragon). We are not a rowdy bunch (some of us may have a beer or two at the end of the riding day). I will be going with my NC700x and I hope (paging Delbert to the white phone) my best friend will be riding his NC700x (I have the faster red one, he has the slower silver one ). For those who rather camp, there are campgrounds in the area. You do not have to be a member of the Rebel forum to join us. We welcome all bikes (a couple of years ago in Ohio, we had about 25 riders at the meetup and I don't think there was 2 of anyone make of bike-I had my BMW at the time). By the way, these past 7 years, I have ridden over 100,000+ miles and I placed 11,000 miles in 6 months on that little gz250 (sold it after I bought my Suzuki C50-bought new, with one mile on the odo-now has 67,000+ miles).
Below are particulars from the rebel website:
Open to all motorcycles .. and past riders who no longer own a motorcycle but can still talk motorcycle, food, Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala, and other fish stories. If you've got a Rebel, bring it. If you have an HD, bring it, we need something to tear apart. (The last comment was donated by RW, the HD rider, who thinks he just might take one of our Rebel 450s this time. Note he's not offering up his HD for teardown.)
Andrews NC .. Fri 5/30 and Sat 5/31, as well as Thu 5/29 for those who choose early arrival.
RW & I have reservations for a ground floor room beginning Thu w/ checkout Sun, 6/1.
(hmmm, I should have specified a room near the rocking chairs. Yep, they're still there despite having a new owner. The cookies too!)
