FerrySTOC 8 - Coming Soon!


FerrySTOC 8 

May 18-20, 2017

Paris Landing State Park
By Randy Collins


FerrySTOC 8 – Bringing long distance, cross country riders to the Paris Landing area as a base for local area riding and group camping.  Meet Sport Touring and ADV  riders who are passionate and serious about their riding. We ride a little further, a little faster and a little safer than typical motorcyclists. Once again, we anticipate the arrival of riders from places as far away as California, Florida, New York and everywhere in between. Heck, we might even have some Canadians join us again!

FerrySTOC started as an idea during a trip to the Blue Ridge Gathering in the Fall of ’09, an event on
the ST-owners.com calendar. (STOC=ST Owners Club is a free, internet based riding club.)  Why not have an event themed on the 4 rivers area and ride the ferries that cross those rivers?  And  ... just to play a little bit on the theme,  let’s have a Gothic based Tinkerbell fairy riding a motorcycle as our trademark. Why not bring more tourists into our local community? As time has passed, this event has grown a loyal following and expanded with suggested routes for the Adventure riders - riders who lust after gravel roads and back woods exploration in rural areas. With Land Between The Lakes  just across the river, this event brings the ADV riders together with long distance sport touring riders, all in the name of fun.


Thursday 18th: 
Free BBQ with sides after 5 PM
Friday 19th:
Group ride in the AM, RTE somewhere along route, 
Pie Ladies expected for 6 PM
Saturday 20th:
Group ride in the AM, RTE somewhere along route, 
Burgers & Dogs at camp for dinner.





All riders are welcome, regardless of make or model. We do ask that you wear full safety gear, ride within your personal abilities and limits of safety, absolutely NO DRUGS and please, no drinks until kickstands are down for the day. It’s all in the name of fun and getting to visit new friends from around the country.


Contact Randy Collins, 731-695-8416 for more information.

Please RSVP if you plan to attend so that we can be prepared with a head count. Remember to buy local and support our Paris Landing Tourism League that is nice enough to host this event.
