Hey there from Wisconsin.

Love the Hickory area. It's gorgeous up there. Had my first Backyard Burger in Hickory. I hope to take in a race at the speedway someday. A lot of history there.

Hi there, hstrong (yea, another lady) & markyd.
There is very nice countryside to ride through & enjoy here around Hickory & up in the higher foothills & mtns. I love it here! I will never move away, again,
Markyd, that backyard burger (in fact there are two, now) is still here!

Oh yeah,I've been to both. Best fast food burgers ever! Probably a good thing Salisbury doesn't have one or I'd be even fatter than I am now. My bike cries now everytime I sit on it. LOL

Markyd,
Give me a shout next time you are back up this way! Not too sure about getting to many rallies out your way & east of there due to my work, but I will be at the Boone rally, actually, volunteering.

hiya tanzanited from hickory also welcome to the fish. my wife and i will prob be at the boone rally to maybe we'll see ya

Hiya, Charles & Debbie,
Well, as I responded in your other post, I'm up for meeting you two and others at Iron Thunder or some other place in the Hickory area.Soooo, there is no need to wait until the Boone Rally !
I'm up in the Northwest Bethlehem area, near Dudley Shoals.
