As in past rallys invitations, here is hoping to see some new forum members here.
Hope to have final plans and dates soon. We will be at the Hemlock Inn in Bryson City, and hope many of you are able to be there. edit:
Tim
I have the final dates , Sept. 11-16. We are returning to Hemlock Inn as a group as it was voted such a great experience last time.
More info. soon.
Mark your calendar for our 2016 Lemans Get Together:
Date: Arrive Sunday, 11 September -- Depart Friday, 16 September
Place: Hemlock Inn, 911 Galbraith Creek Rd., Bryson, North Carolina
Price: $139.00 Sunday price reduced because no meals provided
$169.00 Monday thru Thursday. Breakfast provided on Friday
Price Includes Breakfast and Dinner (no dinner on Sunday)
If you plan on attending please get your reservations in early. Also, let me know (Tim), that you plan on joining this outing. I will post phone number and info. when they open up in the Spring . Prices are double occupancy.
Call for reservation: 828-488-2885 mention you are with Lemans Group
Owner is Mort White. You will probably get an answering machine but leave your name and telephone # and Mort will return your call. The Inn is not open until early Spring. Mort is giving us a reduced price as normal rate is $185 per day. If you plan on attending please get your reservations in early. Tim
For those of you who have not visited the Inn before, this is much more than a simple bed & breakfast. The dining is pure southern hospitality including a full fledged breakfast selection, and the dinner is well varied and delicious. The Inn is located atop one of North Carolina's beautiful mountains. The scenery is breathtaking, and historic winding roads are just a short ride away. Those include the infamous Dragon, the Foothills Parkway, Cherohala Skyway, and Blue Ridge Parkway which all seem to wind their way alongside babbling rivers and tumbling waterfalls, before climbing to the mountain ridge line opening some of the country's most stunning vistas.
This was one of Max and Kathlene Hartman's favorite get aways, which they introduced us to by hosting the 2012 Lemans rally there. We welcome you all to rejoin us in thanks and memory as we "Rally to the MAX" at this years get together.
Hope you can make it,
Don & Annette

Hotel options,
If you have only a day or two and /or would like to split the cost of a local motel, I'm guessing there will be others interested.
Let me know and I will put interested parties in touch.
As of today there is no schedule of events yet. We generally ride all day on a loop tour so plan on staying the night before and join us for the full day.

Tree of shame in background at Deals Gap. Quite a lot of interest for sure there.

Andy, it was more than nice. The trees were just beginning to turn colors but not shedding so many leaves as to cover the roadway
and have to worry about slipping. Parts of the best roads were just paved glassy smooth. All our bikes ran tops and I don't need
to repeat or tell us here the attention we got, either parked or watching peoples heads turn as we drove past turnouts. A great return to the beautiful Country for sure.

What TIMPA hasn't mentioned is the GT750J is an original, one owner! Nice roll up for the ride. This is as high as we get in Australia. I believe the highest tar road in the country, Charlotte's Pass, 6,037'. You guys have rolling plains over there higher than this.  |
