XV1100SE Posted August 1, 2014 #1 Posted August 1, 2014 Let me be the first..... :-) .... where is next years Rally ?
Brake Pad Posted August 1, 2014 #2 Posted August 1, 2014 Need to know if I'm saving 10,00 bucks a week or 20.00 bucks a week
dacheedah Posted August 1, 2014 #3 Posted August 1, 2014 We missed this year, wife had surgery and then we lost a grandson. Looks like we missed out on a good time. Any locations being kicked around?
cowpuc Posted August 1, 2014 #4 Posted August 1, 2014 First thing to popped into my mind was Sturgis S.D.,, it has LOTS of ride opportunities, is centrally located between the U.S. and Canada.. Seriously, it is amazing out there and, it would give the folks who do/have done the Harley Rally out there a chance to do the Black Hills rides without a couple zillion other bikes in your way... Place is pretty bike friendly too:rotf: Right in the Sturgis/Rapid City area we could do a National Cemetery honor ride, there's an ICBM missile silo that can be toured, National Parks within easy driving range and on and on.. The place is amazing to see even when the "Rally" aint happening...
Freebird Posted August 1, 2014 #5 Posted August 1, 2014 As usual folks, it is not only about the location but also having people in the area or wiling to travel to the area to organize things. So all suggestions are welcome but remember that there has to be somebody or a group of folks who are wiling to do the work.
Freebird Posted August 1, 2014 #6 Posted August 1, 2014 I should also add that I think Sturgis is a good suggestion. Do we have enough people around there to pull it of though? So much to do and see there. Last time I was there was 1998 I think and wouldn't mind going back.
bongobobny Posted August 1, 2014 #10 Posted August 1, 2014 We would have to trailer the trike out there but it would be enjoyable to ride in that area! Been there in the cage but it would be better on the trike! Besides there is a lot we didn't see the last time! As Don said though, we need people to organize no matter where it happens next year. Sooo, people, someone step up to the plate! Another nice area is western Tennessee, or how about one of the New England states?? Central Ohio?? Pennsylvania? West Virginia? Whatever the area, there needs to be good accommodations along with camping, and lots of interesting attractions. The real key is the members who do the actual planning, that's what makes or breaks an event...
Snarley Bill Posted August 1, 2014 #11 Posted August 1, 2014 just going to throw this out there. how about st. charles,missouri. we have convention centers, tons of motels, historic main street right on the missouri river, many wineries, loads of riding, historic hannibal,mo., two casinos, restaurants all over, museums, national transportation museum, etc. etc. i have had 3 meet and eats here with big turnouts. star days was here last week. i may consider hosting another international if there is enough interest. i live here and could muster up enough help. i have done one of the international meets already, at the hub in ar. and it was a total success. let me know what you'all think. snarley bill
Flyinfool Posted August 1, 2014 #12 Posted August 1, 2014 At the last 2 Internationals, How many rooms/beds were needed and how many camp sites? Just to get an idea of the size of the facility that is needed.
mini-muffin Posted August 1, 2014 #15 Posted August 1, 2014 Did that area already not long ago it was in Kitchener. Margaret
cowpuc Posted August 1, 2014 #16 Posted August 1, 2014 Niagara falls area would be nice?... Yea it would!! Another would be the Vegas area,, a full moon nite tour thru Death Valley National Park will send ya home thinking ya done toured another planet!!

CaptainJoe Posted August 1, 2014 #19 Posted August 1, 2014 Come on up for the Western New York Regional this August! Will definitely do next year. I'm going to Canon City campground in Colorado the last week of August to explore the canyon's and Vista's. Don't think the wife would understand if I did more than one trip a month:confused24:
cowpuc Posted August 1, 2014 #20 Posted August 1, 2014 Come on up for the Western New York Regional this August! And if you do, dont be afraid of the guy in the pic - he is a really nice feller who DOES own and ride a beeeutiful trike with a new battery!! A little birdie even told me that this Western New York Regional thingy is also going to get an attack from ICELAND!!! If that happens and we are able to get to the Rally ol Tweeks may have another signature on her from a land far far away!! How cool is that!!:cool10: MAN WHAT A SUMMER! Hey Bongo - I LOVE WHERE YOU SIGNED TWEEKS!! Keeps a smile on my face even when leaning out around the shield in tornado weather to see where I am going! PERFECT MY FRIEND - JUST PERFECT!!

I am lookin forward to shakin your hand in NY, you will have a great time at Toms rally! Craig
slowrollwv Posted August 2, 2014 #25 Posted August 2, 2014 How about WV? Canaan Valley resort would be plenty big enough to handle the rally. It is close to Seneca Rocks, Spruce Knob( highest point in WV), Greenbanks Observatory,Cass scenic Railroad, Smoke Hole Caverns, Black Water Falls and Seneca caverns. The resort has bungalow cabins large enough for three or four couples if you want and camping on site. Almost forgot. All the twisty's you can handle for a week.
