These are photos taken at the {Kawasaki} Vulcan Riders and Owners Club (VROC) South Eastern Rally {SEVROC}. Vulcan is the trade name for Kawasaki Cruiser Motorcycles. While most members at one time owned a Vulcan many now ride a different model or different brand but the friendships gained via the internet make VROCers brand independent as far as the motorcycles that they now have.
The Applecover Inn located in Maggie Valley, NC has been the host for this annual event for the past few years. SEVROC is held from Thursday through Sunday during a week in mid May.
This Blog contains photos taken from Thursday Evening through Friday.
