Vstrom Rally 2006

The 2006 Vstrom get together at IronHorse Motorcycle Lodge was very special this year because it was also my honeymoon!  Elia and I spent 10 days in the mountains and had a wonderful time camping the whole time.  We rode two up on the DL off road quite a bit and then joined Bill Clelland for a great ride up the Parkway to a place near Beech Mtn and spent the night with his buddies fron S.C.U.M.  We headed back through a route into VA and Tenn all the way back to Ironhorse.  In the 8 days of riding we logged 2411 miles and had another great trip!

I'll start with a picture of the campground in 2004, my first Vstrom get together! WET Mark Choquette's and my tent were floating away!
