The New Sweden BMW Riders Club is hosting our 26th Annual Last Chance
Rally, Wings and Wheels on September 19, 20, and 21. The location
once again is Appel Farm and Convention Center in Elmer, New Jersey.
This is the same venue we used last year and received numerous
positive comments from our previous rally attendees. There are ample
dorm buildings that are configured to house 8 to 10 people in each
room. Each dorm room has its own clean, modern shower and lavatory
facilities. Some dorm rooms are carpeted. All are heated. You don't
have to bring your tent. Just bring a sleeping bag or bedding and put
them on the bunk beds in the dorm rooms. Also noteworthy is the
dining hall which is spacious, modern, and air conditioned. See more
information about Appel Farm and Convention Center at:

Once again this year's rally will offer a chili dinner Friday night.
Saturday's activities will include a morning GS ride, afternoon field
events, all the usual awards, numerous door prizes, and a sumptuous
banquet dinner. There is also a continental breakfast available
Saturday and Sunday morning along with a bottomless coffee pot. Lunch

Coincident with our rally this year, New Jersey Motorsports Park is

Elmer is located in the middle of beautiful southern New Jersey farm
country. There are lots of two lane roads and no housing
developments, shopping malls, or traffic. And New Jersey has some of
the cheapest gasoline prices in the northeast. Make your plans now to
