Our first rally was in 2015 in North Carolina which I hosted. Since then, we have been to Va in 16, Ark in 17, Ky in 18, W Va in 19, Pa in 20, Oh in 21, ? in 22 (I don't have a T shirt for 22 so someone will have to remind me), Va in 23, NC in 24, Tn in 25 and now Wi in 26.
The further north or the further west used to limit participation
In the beginning we held the rallies in May but somewhere along the line it switched to Sept.
It doesn't matter what I ride, how far or how fast, only that I ride .... every day

Right you are suhawk .... I found rally photos from that year. That was the year Dianne and I came in her new Mustang Convertible and someone kindly let me ride their bike every day of the rally so that I could keep my daily riding streak going. Wonder where my shirt went? lol
here I am riding someone's 14 std on the Dragon (Third Gear Steve maybe?)

Great points Mntneer. I’m not lobbying for WVA when I say this, but if lewisburg is in the mix, I will happily volunteer to lead some or all of the short rides. Some of those roads are so great that a shorter ride might be made simply by makings u-turn and heading back the way we came… and god knows I’m getting my u-turns perfected.

You could ask an AI:
Quote:Where would be a great place on the east coast of Australia to base a weeklong motorcycle rally from in 2027? About 20 riders. Base needs to be close to great riding roads, points of interest, and dining. Daily rides should be less than 400 kms round trip.
