On this weekend in July, Ernest Hemmingway's typically tranquil Northern Michigan - "the land of cool waters and lush forests," will be disrupted by the distinct rumble of Freedom V-Twin Engines.  Join us July 19th through the 22nd on the western edge of the Huron National Forest in Grayling, Michigan for the 16th Annual Victory Motorcycle Club (VMC) National Meet - NORTHERN THUNDER 2018, hosted by VMC Local Chapters - The Northern Michigan Victory Riders and the Wolverine State Victory Riders.

Come join in the fun with fellow VMC’rs from all over the world.  Renew old bonds and make new friends.  Meet the people you’ve been chatting with online.  Enjoy four days of motorcycle tours, fellowship, food and music.
