Next year? (2006)

Hey, I'm open.   BRMC would be nice since I haven't been there in a while, and they've cleaned/fixed it up a bit.  There are actually more places near the Gap, now, and we haven't been there in 3 years.

It would also be a big plus if that happens during our winter!


That depends on where in this wide brown land of ours you intend to visit, and how hot you want it to be......


Probably where the twisty paved roads are - and some beaches away from urbia. It's always nice to show up at work in the middle of winter with a nice tan when everyone else up here has turned pale from the lack of sunshine.

Then inland towards gods road, the loop around the big hill is always fun, (its our highest mountain, but our kiwi mates reckon its only a bloody foothill) criss cross the great divide from the coast heading north, should see ya having fun, then again tassie is a blast too.
Oh yeh I forgot, :boohoo:  there is a wedding up there in those foothills new years day 2006-2007, well at the top of that foothill. And daily rides for a week, from boxing day onwards. Come on down folks a Bandit alley wedding. :duh:

We Robinson Riders spent two weeks in July 2005 at the Iron Horse Lodge in Stecoah, NC right outside of Robbinsville.  There is camping, rooms, and cabins with nice restrooms/showers, etc.  Breakfast and dinner available every day and nice folks running the place.

Riding in that area is great, as most of you know - The Dragon, Hwy 28 AKA The Excalibur, not far to BRP, Wayah Bald Road and the infamous 711!

You can also ride down to Helen, GA for some riverside margaritas and watch the tubers float by - some have been known to flash their...oh well, I know you guys would rather ride than see tuberhooters!

My vote is for IRL.   :beers: [/color]

The Iron Horse would be a nice venue. Like Rob said there are accomodations available to fit any budget AND it is close to great, long roads. Willville was quaint, BRMC is rustic, TWO is great and I wish Lwayne or Claudia would pipe up about Pickett State Park, which is a jewel on the Kentucky/Tennessee border.

Lloyd, you stayed at the Iron Horse?

  It's not to 'cruisery'?

  May be time for the Gap area again.

Sorry, will set something up in a couple of weeks.

No i have not stayed there and wouldn't you classify the Bandit as a cruiser? Albeit, a sport cruiser. :-))))

Pete, it's about to late for this rally, but do some research on shady valley, tn. I try to ride up there about every weekend I'm off and usually through the week some too. hwy. 421 out of boone, go through mt. city, then it gets twisty. opens back up that's shady, take a left it's 91? twisty. Take a right it runs you up into damascus va. about 10-15 min. away. You can jump on 58 there and head toward willville, or run west toward kentucky. If you stay on 421 out of shady it runs towards bristol, it's curvy as hell too. When you come out of mt. city going over, there is a sign reading "warning truckers switchbacks next 22 miles, please consider alt. route" It's like our deal's gap up this way as it's only about an hour ride away, I can come up with loop after loop off of this place. You can jump over to boone run 221 down to 181 or jump over to 19e. Ride the parkway back towards asheville. Ride 88 over towards west jefferson(awesome road) 194 up into banner elk.

I'm hovering between the Iron Horse, and BRMC.

  The IRon horse puts us on familiar turf, and there are plenty of motels in RObbinsville.
   BRMC has been fixed up since the flood, and also has great roads..........

   I'll decide pretty soon......sorry about the delay.


   I'll have to see if the Robinsons are allowed back at the Iron Horse, first..... :grin:

Pete, are you planning on doing this in the Spring or Fall?



BTW, you must have really been an internet pioneer back in 1969. I'm guessing it wasn't called Bandit Alley way back then.
