Title: Motorcycle Rallies!
Post by: Triker on February 27, 2007, 07:05:51 AM
Do you plan to go to any rallies this season? I'd love to go to Daytona bike week, but it's too far and too expensive for me. Of course, there's always Sturgis. I had plans and dialysis scheduled to go last year, but I was expecting to receive some money to afford the trip, and it didn't show up until too late. My favorite was the Bikes, Blues, & BarBQue rally in Fayetteville, Ar. I plan to make it again this year. I also make several small local rallies. I would highly recommend the BBB Rally, if you can attend. It's a very scenic area, and the rally is a very well organized event. There was very little trouble, and not as wild or crazy as Sturgis. Last year there were as many as 400,000 attendees.

Sorry no rallies for me this year due to CAPD .Have attended in the past here in the UK though. Two of my fav's are the 'Bulldog Bash' and 'Stormin the Castle'. I take it the rallies over there are pretty much the same ? Usually over a weekend , tents, bands, beer and displays?  :beer1;

I might go to Sturgis once more but either the week after or the week before. I don't like the crowds anymore.

I'm planning on riding to Epomans house in August and maybe visiting a few members on the way to take some pictures. Kind of a greet and meet and then to keep moving.

I haven't been to any rallies is quite some time.  I don't much like the crowds.  In fact, the last rally I attended was held in New Hope PA about 15 or so years ago and was hosted by a local Kawasaki dealership.  I do admit that I love to go see all the bikes.  Actually, the modifications that have been made to them in particular.  I remember seeing at that rally, a 1981 Honda CBX 1100 bored and stroked to just under 1500cc's and bosting the biggest supercharger I ever saw on a street legal motorcycle.
