    EOM 2018 - Maggie Valley, NC - September 20-23, 2018

    I've spoken with the hotel manager and a friend of mine that lives in the area, and the roads are fine in the Maggie Valley area and SW. Also, the rain that is forecast around the time we will be there is to the N and E. So it's game on for me. BRP may still be closed, but there are plenty of...

    EOM 2018 - Maggie Valley, NC - September 20-23, 2018

    Just found out about this event and I'm in! Room booked. Riding over from Memphis. Planning to ride on Sunday and perhaps Monday. Anyone else staying around? I put my forum handle as "Memphomaniac" in the event registration - from a different forum. Been a while since I've been here.

    EOM-2009 Routes are ready, again!

    Fantastic routes - thanks to all involved for all the work you put into these! I would like some help picking the 3 highest fun factor routes of the 7. I know this is very subjective, but I would like the opinion of those who know the area. Cheers, Bob in Memphis

    2005 FJR Parts Bike

    I am considering purchasing a 2005 FJR as a parts bike. It is missing the seat, windshield, one muffler, but apart from that, supposedly rideable (obviously after installing a seat and muffler). The reason I am doing this is that I need a few ABS parts (hydraulic unit, etc) for my 2004, and...

    EOM Ride routes

    Jeff, I'm leaving from Memphis for points north on Sept 3. I really hate to bug you, but is there any chance of getting the gpx files (or any file format for that matter) by Sept 2, as I'm not bringing a computer, so I won't have a way to load them into my GPS unit after departure. Thanks!

    Official Website for Eastern Owners Meeting - Register Now!

    I would like to get some recommended routes so I can load up my Garmin. I will be leaving 2 weeks early on Sept 3, as I am doing a long trip ending with the EOM, and I wanted to get some ideas before leaving. I noticed the web site still has "To Be Announced" in the Rides link, but I'm thinking...
