BMW RA rally?

[jeremell]

Has anyone heard where the BMW RA will hold its 2008 rally? This discussion is going on in the RA forum as well and there are rumors that it will be around the Ozarks.

That'd be sweet! I doubt I'll get to the MOA rally next year, so I'll have to plan on the RA again. It's rally planning time (winter's coming up, and what better to do than plan next year's big rides!)

Depending on the time frame, the Gypsy RR Rally Oct 11-12, 2008 in Ozark might be a twofer.

I like twofers.

The 2008 rally will be in Houghton, MI, which is in the upper penninsula. Northern WI has beautiful riding in the summer. I haven't been to the UP yet but I'm definitely hitting this rally.

Yoopers scare me.

Does BMW RA ever hold any rally on the West coast?

[Biff's R]

The RA usually rotates it throughout the US. The MOA does the same. The MOA rally this year is in Gillette, WY.

You can pre-register for the rally, ERC classes, and get a ticket for the Saturday night pasty dinner.

I hope you all are attending, it is in a fantastic location with great riding!

There are hotels in the area but it is way more fun to stay at the rally. In addition to camping this year, you can stay in a dorm room! I haven't stayed in a dorm room for many, many years, so I think it will be a blast!

And, for anyone who isn't a member of the RA - please join up!
