Join Motorcycle Classics editor Richard Backus and Trippin' On Two Wheels' Neale Bayly for three days of great riding in the heart of North Carolina in the inaugural Motorcycle Classics Blue Ridge Rendezvous!
Tour headquarters will be the beautiful and scenic Switzerland Inn, a motorcycle- friendly inn located at mile marker 334 on the famed Blue Ridge Parkway.
Highlights include:
- Visiting the Wheels Through Time motorcycle museum in Maggie Valley, N.C.
- Stopping by the Biltmore House in Asheville, N.C.
- Riding the Tail of the Dragon at Deal's Gap: 318 curves in 11 miles!
Plus: After the tour, join Backus and Bayly for an additional 400-plus-mile ride to Leeds, Ala., to attend the 7th Annual Barber Vintage Festival!
Built in 1910, the Switzerland Inn sits at the peak of the Diamondback Motorcycle & Sports Car Route, a 12-mile mountain loop with 190 curves, many of them doubling back almost 360 degrees. From the inn, riders will head out on day tours of the surrounding area, including a visit to the famed Biltmore House in Asheville, the incredible Wheels Through Time motorcycle museum in Maggie Valley, and the infamous 11-mile Tail of the Dragon at Deal's Gap with its 318 curves.
We'll gather on Sunday, Oct. 2, and ride Monday through Wednesday, Oct. 3-5. At the end of the tour, you'll have the choice of heading home or joining Backus and Bayly for an additional 400-plus-mile ride to Leeds, Ala., and the 7th Annual Barber Vintage Festival. We're planning a relaxed ride, rolling into the Barber Motorsports Park around noon on Friday, Oct. 7, just in time for the start of the most exciting, fastest growing vintage motorcycle event in the country. We'll be encouraging other riders to join us on the way to Barber, and we've arranged a special VIP escort the last 50 or so miles to the museum.
