Vulcan Riders Association Ride (July 11,2009)

Couple of cell phone photos I took today, got an invite last night to ride with the Vulcan Riders Association (Charlotte Chapter) to Morrow Mountain. We all met at Troutman's Barbeque on NC-29 in Concord, NC. During the business meeting we had lunch. I went with the bbq on a bun topped with red slaw and vinegar sauce; took a while to get used to that when I got here but really enjoy it now. For the ride we had 10 bikes (11 counting mine) and headed out around 12:30. Riders rode all sorts of Vulcan motorcycles; Mean Streak, 1500's, 1600's, 900's, and even a couple of the old 750 Vulcans. Came from all over the area.
I was just at Morrow Mountain last Saturday in fact, but fun to ride with a group, and they were an interesting bunch. The second photo is all of our bikes at the overlook. I love the ride there, go through some really nice roads, and the ride to the top is a curvy bunch of fun. Due to the Richmond/Concord living thing going on now with me, not sure how often I will be able to ride with them, but sure would not mind at all doing that again. Hot today and somewhat humid, but had a fantastic time and a great ride. It is always fun to ride with a group, especially a group with the same kind of motorcycle that I ride.

Tomorrow, before going back to Richmond Sunday night or Monday, I have one last ride left, and am really looking forward to that one too. Will post on that tomorrow or Monday!

I'm the National President for the Vulcan Riders Association and happened to see your post. Great write-up and enjoyed the pics. The Charlotte VRA is a new chapter but glad to hear that they're enjoying some good rides with folks in the area. Take care...
