Vincent Owners Club North America Rally 2025 Kerrville Texas

Image
  Over 100 Vincent Owners Club members came in from far and wide to attend the North American Rally in Kerrville Texas, April 1st-5th 2025. Participants came in from most US states, while club Information Technology Officer Phil Mahood made the trip all the way from Canada with his freshly restored Rapide, ‘Phoenix’. Additional p articipants from Mexico and Ireland meant that the event took on an almost international flair! Beautiful skies and warm weather were on tap for the ride days on April 2nd and 3rd, with a large contingent of Vincents roaming the beautiful Texas Hill Country Roads.

 Howdy folks, This one is out of order as it is a ride report that I wrote for our Central Texas Painted Churches ride in March 2023. Check it out! On Saturday March 4 th , a small group of Lone Stars headed south out of La Grange to tour the country roads and see the beautiful painted churches of Central Texas. PERFECT weather- CHECK! Beautiful country roads- CHECK! Wildflowers in bloom- CHECK! Zero traffic- CHECK! Great friends to ride with- CHECK! Or as they might say in this part of Texas- CZECH!   Our ride begins at the Lukas Bakery on the main square of downtown La Grange, across from the county courthouse. This family bakery has been a fixture in La Grange for over 75 years and makes the real-deal kolaches and apple strudel. The way to meet people in La Grange is to sit on the bench outside Lukas, with a map in your hand. We had every local stopping by to say howdy and offer help with directions! One lovely lady had her hands full of a huge apple str...
