I'm in Hendersonville, just south of Asheville. Bought my 2020 INT 650 at Motorcycles of Charlotte at the end of July and enjoy exploring the mountain backroads.
We're coming to the Meltdown at the airport on 29 April. I'm planning to bring my '68 Wards Riverside (Benelli) and '76 Harley-Davidson SS125 (Aermacchi). We're staying at an Airbnb just a couple blocks from downtown H'ville. Perhaps we can meet up.

The 2023 Raleigh Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is coming up! It's Sunday, 21 May 2023. If you register, you'll eventually get an email with the details.

If you're not familiar with the DGR, it''s a vintage (or modern classic) motorcycle ride and fundraiser for men's health issues. It started out focused on prostate cancer, but has expanded to cover all manner of men's health. In recent years, there has been increasing attention to mental health and suicide prevention. Plus, MOTORCYCLES!

A diesel Bullet must have the top speed of a brisk walk. Is it bad that I want one?

As for NC meet ups, I believe Lazlo said 1st Saturday morning of the month is the euro bikes gathering at the Whole Foods on 55 in Cary, NC. I'm hoping weather and sleep schedules will let me attend this time.

Rock Hill SC Ex Triumph rider, new to RE. Yes, I know, this is a NC thread, but I'm close enough, I hope. New Meteor 350, love it. Longride bags, replaced shifter, bar end mirrors. Have the tail tidy to install, but waiting while I decide on getting touring seat or not (so I don't have to mess with lining up bag supports, side rails and seat holes more than once :) ) Those will be only mods I do, already have a SM 650 ordered.

No, it is not bad you want one. I understand completely.
