Just got back from the rally at Maggie Valley. Have to go with my friends Goldwing Rally so left a day early. Really had a great time and the weather was almost perfect, except for the afternoon rain yesterday. Got to see some really wet folks coming back in from their rides. Here is a link to some pictures I took. I really wish I could have stayed till the end.

Really was a great time and fantastic meeting folks you talk on the board with. I have never seen so many Nomads in one place. I can drive around here for a week and never see one. We had 79 bikes on the Blue Ridge / Mt. Mitchel ride and that line of bikes was noticed. Had a couple Harley's ride into the parking area on the Blue Ridge and they didn't know what was gong on..... The trip was well worth it and hope you can all make it next time, you will never regret it.

Thanks for the pics. They allow me to attend vicariously.

I notice that comments can be added? As people go through, can you provide names for the stars?

I hope the folks can add their names because I didn't meet half of the attendees. I've never seen so many nomads in one place. It made other bikers take notice. On the Blue Ridge ride on Tuesday there where 79 bikes on the ride and only about four off brands. It really must have been a sight to see them all coming down through Maggie Valley. I've got some more pictures coming from a buddy that came along with me. He is kind of a "Photographer" and I am sure with his Nikon 35mm he got some better shots. I'll post them once he downloads them to my computer tonight.

There were so many people there that I know I never had a chance to say hi to everyone, But it was a real sight to see so many Nomads in one place.
