Hotel reservations for the meet HAVE to be made by phone.


It's a funky little hotel that was built back in the 40's. The current owners, Mike and Lynn Thrift, have restored it and are really nice people. The hotel has some really interesting history behind it. It has a good restaurant, and a store with the best beer selection for ~50 miles. Room rates vary from about $80/night to $120/night depending on what location you want (balcony or not) and what discounts you can get. Pets are allowed. Tell them you're with the Buell meet and they'll give you a decent discount.


In case you haven't been before, the Skyline is located smack in the middle of some of North Carolina's best twisty roads, including NC 226A (aka "the Diamondback"), NC 226, NC 80 (aka "the Devil's Whip") and it's within easy riding distance of the Dragon, the Snake, and several other named roads. If you want a more leisurely ride, the Blue Ridge Parkway is ~100 yards away.


This meet is very loosely organized; show up (all makes welcome), grab a few other riders, and head out riding. Hang out at the hotel deck and enjoy a cold brew with a good meal while enjoying one of the best mountain views in the area. We usually try to have one semi-organized ride on Saturday morning. There are several destinations that make good out-and-back group rides. Covered motorcycle parking is provided in back.


If you don't have a bike or don't want to ride it, Mike has a fleet of rental motorcycles so that's a great option.


Post up or PM me if you have any questions.

Free caps to the first 15 attendees!
