How Far would you be willing to travel to our 2017 rally?
- Thread starter the Ferret
- Start date
On another forum where I've been a member, they ended up with at least two major rally's occurring on an annual basis: one on the east coast and one on the west coast.
I would love to have attended the big rally's out east, but the combination of the time off, and the money involved to travel there put a damper on things for me. The ferret tried his hardest to get me there the first time around, offering me the use of his CB1100 if I could just get myself to Ohio — pure class. In all honesty, it's impossible to imagine the ferret at a CB1100 rally aboard anything other than his DLX.

I've been thinking that 2 rallies per anum is a good idea Guth. As a working stiff, idk if I could swing a west coast one, but if the stars aligned I'd definitely ride out for it.

Ya, we'll just have to do a West Coast Rally and if those uppity East Coasters want to show up - they buy the donuts.

We'd have to pick a location, northern California or Nevada seems pretty central or maybe a spot on the coast. E.g. Gold Coast, OR.

It looks like the biggest problem is getting it organized. That would definitely require someone with more smarts than me. I would help if needed though.

We have resorted to Not-a-Rally's for the Guzzi guys in Arizona. We pick a motel, pizza on Friday night as folks cruise in, big supper Saturday (typically a breakfast get together too). Otherwise, very loose.

Looks more like a 7000+ mile swim. At least there are some convenient rest stops along the way.Cormanus_imp said:

I said over 500 miles, but if it is that, I may be trailering the bike.

I'm seriously considering attending next year's rally. If it happens anywhere near Bland, I'm looking at about 2,000 miles each way. I will be newly retired, so time isn't an issue. I'd probably plan on a week long trek across the country to get there and about the same to get back.

It was 670 miles one way for us, Orlando to Bland. I was going to take 2 days and ride up, rally, then 2 days back, but then Lee and Pat decided to take me up on my invite. So we trailered. Took us about 10 hours each way. If I were to ride, I think 2 days of travel might possibly be my max.

I'm literally in the same boat as Cormanus so I guess I'll have to fly somewhere, but the west coast gets my vote.Cormanus_imp said:

If you share the boat, you won't have to swim or hike... and you could bring the CB's with if it is a big enough boat.
Kenny, my man, send the boat and Huladog and I'll be there. Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised if Pterodactyl came too.

If we do a west coast rally and one of our off shore folks would like to do a fly n ride, fly in to Phoenix, I have two bikes capable of doing the trip (Griso and CB1100) that way they don't have to rent - and can ride!
