Title: April 30th, Meltdown MC show, Hendersonville NC

Def a good time. Heavy vintage British and German but a respectable amount of japanese as well. Very good vibe.

Planning on attending.   :cheerleader:

Always wanting to go, but it seems to often conflict with other things. Not far for me (and some great roads if not in a hurry). Not doubt some folks from our Time Warp group will be there.

Possum Gathering is May 13 & 14 at Sevier County Fairground. I'll be there to help out with it.

I've been going since the first.  Always a great time.  It keeps getting bigger and bigger.  Coordination changed hands this year, so it will be interesting to see how different the event is.

I made it out to the Meltdown for the first time today.  Had my 4 year old with me and she was definitely feeling shy with all the people.  We only stayed about an hour, but got to see all the exhibition bikes.  I wish it had been planned better.  It was way too crowded on the main road with all the bikes.  It was hard to enjoy for me personally.  I also didn't know anyone there, which probably didn't help.  There were a few two strokes.  More Kenny Roberts RZ350's than I've ever seen in one place.  By the end of it I didn't care to see any more well kept, stock BMW's, Triumph Bonnevilles, Norton Commandos or even Moto Guzzis.  With those older bikes I guess I'm more interested in unique builds (period correct for me please) than faithful restorations.  To each their own I suppose.

i was there. was ok, has been better in the past. the lc was pretty sweet, but theres usually not much of 2t turnout. that KH was ok but wasnt even in running condition as far as i could tell. the nimbus and the vincent were pretty sweet though. the rz with the seat cowl is actually owned by a local I know here in RH, she's owned it at least 22 years and rides it very regular. Her husband Jim had the blue 72 H2 next to it.
