National Rally 2012

[motormike]

With the vast number of members that are loyal to this board, there SHOULD be a rally in 2012 somewhere in the mid-west. If not a National, then a Regional rally. I know that coming to the mid-west from either coast is expensive and time consuming. Post up your thoughts and suggestions. My interest level is high and I am willing to help with organization.

With enough lead time, car pooling is possible. The expense lessens drastically. I have a trailer than could handle 18 or more scooters. Of course the truck will only handle 5 people but driving a small car and having someone else transport you scooter is cheaper.

I think this would be fun And definately think the car pooling is a grand idea

Car pooling? This is a rally. We should all ride there.

Any ideas on a location?

Ride there??????? You live in Iowa, a few hundred miles at best. I live in the far northwest, a couple thousand miles at least. Besides I will probably bring more than one, as many as 4 or 5 maybe, depends on how the winter projects go.

Sounds like fun.

For the purpose of keeping it centrally located, St Louis viscinity seems likely. Keeping along the Mississippi River somewhere will give both ideal riding and Points of Interest to visit. Quad Cities area maybe. Having a major car show like Good Guys for example to coordinate dates with would be cool. Or scooter/motorcycle event(NOT Sturgis)...lol.....

Wow, Great Idea long drive....

Move that location a little more west and we might be talkin...

Maybe Hays, Kansas? The town boasts that it is the center of the USA. Still 1,700 miles away for me.

@ marty....if this gets national, I agree....Kansas
Some consideration should be given to this point: Are there members living in the area of the host city?
For example, Iowa is a possibility because eliteguy50 and the other Hawkeye members will have
accessability to plot some ride routes and suggest destinations.

If we do it here, I know some of the local Ruckus guys will come out too. Iowa is a helmet optional state if that is a condition people are thinking about. If we did it in Des Moines, we could probably set it up with Fender too and do a Dyno day or something.

.......Fender ?.....

[SuprasNsprees]

They're getting pretty popular here in STL . Enough 30/35 mph roads to ride across the city all day

Ask any of the GY6 or Ruckus guys about KS Power. The owner merged it with Fender so he could focus on scoots instead of having to run a shop and work. National recognition for his dragster scoots. In house scooter Dyno.

Well, I am planning to go back to Indianapolis next year so... I'd just have to get a hitch put on the family hotrod. I suppose anywhere on the I70 route works for me.
