For those that don't know: I ride about 10K-15K miles a year, starting in May and ending in October. COVID has put a damper on things but motorcycling is the ultimate in social distancing! Every two weeks I have rides planned to various locations. Normally, these rides are invitational only and atte...

Thanks Jeff and Brian. If you tell any stories about me please exaggerate and make them REALLY funny and interesting!

Jim, we don't have to exaggerate... I have pictures!

Wife and I have never been. With being only 5 hours out (W'burg). It's a hop, skip and no jump for us. We will be there!! Will get a hotel in Wytheville. Craig & Jeanne Would love to meet the two of you. Here is the motel info: Motel Information Hampton Inn 950 Pepper's Ferry Road Wytheville, VA 24...

Hi all, I've attended all of the Goldwing Doc rides and have really enjoyed both the rides and time with friends but, unfortunately, due to Covid 19 I won't be able to make it this year. Border is still closed and with the situation in the US I am not even sure we will be able to spend the winter i...

I feel the same way. He almost didn't come last year either. He didn't decide till the night before we left.

Jeff, I'm sorry your father won't be coming... his wit and sense of humour will be missed! Give my best to him.

Ride the Ohio Dragon, Triple Nickel and a bunch of other great roads. Yes, I know the announcement is late but with the virus wrecking past schedules, its time for this announcement. There is a limited number of riders that can participate, so if you want to come please PM me directly to ensure your...

Hey Blue Thunder, My son has a Uni-Go trailer but is having problems with the trailer cracking. He had the frame beefed up but it is still cracking. Have you had that problem and if so, how did you solve it? Thanks. Ride Safe! The early UniGo's were made in New Zealand. The NZ ones suffered cracked...

Is there an agenda for the gathering? Each day is segmented into two. Ride in the morning, lunch is at a great place, ride in the afternoon. Supper in the evening followed by drinks and lots of discussion. This a wonderful time to make new friends and greet old ones. Was there anything in particula...

Wondering, will there be a 2020 GoldwindDocs gathering? Also is this around the same time as Cherokee Rally. One of my favorite gathering places.

Hi we have not been on here for a while. We where hoping we would find something to do . Trips are being canceled faster then you can blink. We are interested in the Aug trip. Should we wait to book the motel just in case this one gets canceled also. I retired this year hoping we could travel and h...

Scott, is the clone destroyed or made inopperative?

I get asked quite often on how a one-wheeled trailer stays up....

Wait a minute.... China is notorious for stealing technology/products from American companies. I do contract manufacturing so I am quite familiar with how the Chinese do business. How do the Chineses steal? An American company has a manufacturing "partner" or contracts with a Chinese manufacturer to...

Beware! Diagnostic tools for Honda (motorcycles and marine engines), Kawasaki (motorcycles, ATVs and Jet-Skis) and Suzuki (motorcycles and ATVs) are offered by some Chinese companies too. While the module looks different, the PCB inside is a clone of our OBD hardware and it will NOT work without ou...

Just a reminder... If you think you might be coming but are unsure due to fluid future obligations (not to mention the current situation 😳), the cancellation policy of the motel is very generous. Because of the current virus situation, you can cancel 24 hours before the ride without penalty. I would...

I have to agree with KL from Deer Park, WA. It sounds like fun, just wish it wasn't a 5,200 mile round trip. I understand it has to be held where you'll pull the most number people, but being held so far East leaves those of us on The West Coast unable to attend. This is a common "problem" with any...

I spoke with Hampton Inn and the matter has been rectified. Use the link if you are able to.

As of today, the Gathering is still a go. Should the pandemic situation get worse, God forbid, please check back here for further info. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Comments to the City Council are worthless and totally uncalled for. They aren't about to change their tax structure for a complaint. The purpose of MY POST was to let everyone know that the VA STATE and LOCAL hotel taxes are 11+% and are not included in the hotels quote. Larry, my comment was mean...

Can the subject of the thread be changed to reflect the new dates? It might help people realize that it is not happening after Labor Day.

Admin has been notified. Change to happen soon.

It's done!

$109/nite PLUS 11% for the Gov, right?

Posted room rate does not reflect any state or local taxes and/or fees. These are not set by Hampton Inn. Send any comments regarding taxes to:
