A small gathering of riders, Only 2 Valkyries there an Interstate and my standard
.
 Perhaps 1000 Harleys in various shapes and sizes along with another 500 metrics.

 

 Took a ride up the west side of Cabot trail on our way in, and it started raining so the pictures are limited.
.
Some nice corners coming down and with rain and limited visibilty I'm just happy we have some fotos of it.
. We managed to get a nice day a couple of days later

These are shots riding south on the East side of Cabot trail over the smokie mountain.

  

 
 

We had a lunch of fish cakes and beans wih home made bread at English town. The fish cakes are made from salted cod and potatoes, very nice. My Camera girl posed for me.


Later on back at the bikefest she had me hold a couple of the locals for her so she could take their foto.


The next day she had me do it again with a couple of other ladies at the Louisbourg Fort.

 As part of the Thunder in the Highlands event they made arrangements to have 350 riders take their bikes into the fort.

She wanted a foto with this fancy fella so I agreed reluctantly.

Her shirt says feel the thunder so I was keeping my eye on him.

It was a grand event and my compliments to the organisers. Perhaps I'll see more Valkyries next time.

Great pictures, thanks for posting.  It's hard to take pics in the rain and worry about the water getting in your camera...  Smiley

Nice pics.  That's a great ride...did it in 96 on my old BMW R100.  Denver to Newfoundland and back...via Ontario and Texas!  Burned up the ignition switch in Nova Scotia and fixed it on the ferry ride to Newfoundland...with the help of two harley riders from Georgia.  They are probably still telling that story of the harley dudes having to help fix the broken down Beemer.  They took photos as proof Angry
