Great fellowship at dinner with Leg 5&6 riders.

The National Rally in Johnson City, TN was AWESOME! The Tennessee group were great people, the hotel staff was excellent and thankful we were there. 236 people was the mentioned number. The meal at the Swiss Chalet was delicious and and wonderful staff. Of course, those who have ridden in eastern Tennessee and North Carolina know it is some of the most beautiful, fun and challenging roads in America. Even the weather was cooperative. Those who were afraid to come missed out on a great time. Victory owners are a different breed and we met so many new friends and had a lot of laug

Here is a very faded front panel of the first V2V shirt, that I had designed for the V2V in 2001. FYI, I had designed the 2013 Fishy shirt to commemorate fellow member Sydney "Fishwich". who passed away suddenly. She was a leg captain of the previous year V2V, on her 2004 50th year anniversary (Polaris) Vegas. She deserves to be remembered.

You want pictures huh? How 'bout these? Nothing here is in order - most of the "people" picks are from the Meet n Greet on Thursday night - man were those munchies good! The "road" pics are from both Friday and Saturday - both excellent rides led by excellent leaders!

Happy 4 of July! We made it to San Francisco and enjoyed dinner at the Crab House. I made new friends on this year V2V and hope to see everyone again on another VMC ride soon. Here is a couple of photos from dinner. I made sure Tiger/Fish Witch was apart of dinner. I will post more later.

Here's a Club historic pic for inspiration! From V2V1.

The President does not matter, what always matter is a group, some members, or an LC coming forward with a proposal to host a meet.

PLEASE don't pollute the planning for this historic event with the politics that are taking place! I am sure that things will get straightened out. Keep in mind - the VMC has weathered many "things" in twenty years - this is just a bump in the road - surviving for 20 years is worthy of straight-forward and eager anticipation, no politics involved.

This is the thread we will use to post messages and pictures as the ride progresses across the country on the Victory Highway.

Leg 5 - great lunch and fellowship at the Moonshine Store, home of the famous Moon Burger.

Gene, Thank you for organizing this event. I know that it takes a lot of work to make the event run smoothly. I had a great time on Legs 2 and 3. I only wish I had more time available to ride the whole V2V. It si great to meet other VMC members as well as see 'old' friends. It always amazes me how nice the VMC members are that come to these events. Those of you who are not participating in the event are truly missing out. Jim

T-shirt color and design for this year's Rally!

This is the first year for the Midwest Victory Rally. The Midwest Victory Rally started as an offshoot of the VMC's North Central Regional Rally that was based in various locations throughout the Midwest. Members of the River Cities Victory Riders (RCVR) and the Central Iowa Victory Riders (CIVR), both Victory Motorcycle Club (VMC) North Central regional chapters, proposed moving the event to De Soto, IA, home of Rylan's nationally acclaimed "The Vic Shop". Thus the 2019 Midwest Victory Rally was born.

Here are just a few, More will happen soon. photo #1 The event registration table with 4 people to enter the info which means much faster times at check in. photo#2 The group shot which is cut off due to size restrictions. Not all attendees were present at that time. photo #3 Kent & Clay informing the Michiana Club about how to make the most of long distance riding to events.

End of leg 8 in Fort Morgan CO. Today’s tour was through some of the rolling hills of NW KS. Yes, there are hills in KS! A little warm, my bike had 107 at one time. We met 3 more riders at St Francis and even more at Ft Morgan. Dinner and cocktails at the Mav next to the hotel.
