Re: Vintage MC show in East Tennessee "the Possum Motorcycle Gathering"
Day 2 of the Gathering of Possums is in the books. For those that may wonder how the name came to be, there is a prestigious vintage motorcycle show in California with linen table cloths, wine and cheese, etc. for the elite collectors. I believe it is called "the Quail". Well, ours was in a fair grounds with a moonshine distillery on the other side of the river that flows by. We had camping and a barbecue vendor for food. Tennessee is a bit less elite, but we had fun!

Re: Vintage MC show in East Tennessee "the Possum Motorcycle Gathering"
I, too, sadly missed it. We got there at 1:30 and it had mostly skedaddled.
Plan B: ride the Foothills Parkway to 129.
The weather just cleared up and dried most of the roads - but not enough time for the sport bike flies to gather on 129. We passed 1 bike and 3 cars on one pass and hardly much more on the next. I never had anyone in front of me. That was a first.

Re: Vintage MC show in East Tennessee "the Possum Motorcycle Gathering"
Patrick made the executive decision to finish-up judging, give out plaques, and rap early due to threatening weather. I've been to a lot of shows that have done it just because of the heat. I only had a 50 mile drive home, but was caught in the rain for the final half. The faigrounds was never at risk for getting very muddy as it seems to be on a gravel base and there was a large flat oval track paved that we parked around. Patrick had the competing bikes move to a music hall on site so that if rain came early the machines and spectators were protected. Our weather guessers had forecast thunderstorms. We didn't get them.

Re: Vintage MC show in East Tennessee "the Possum Motorcycle Gathering"
I headed East about 7 PM and found the storms in Western NC. Was an adventurous night for sure. Got home just about 3 AM. Was a fun time!
