Hi all, :wave
I just signed up to MOA, and am looking forward to heading up to the rally for one day (Sunday). Hope to see lots of bikes. Both the husband and I are looking for our own rides, and I figured this would be the place to see them all. I love the vintage bikes, but I'm also drooling over the R850R. Husband wants a 1200RT. I'm thinking of an R60/6. Anyway, I'm digressing.
Can we both get in at the gate? I'm a member, he's not. I'd hate to drive 3+ hours and not get in.
Is there going to be a separate area with bikes for sale, or will they be scattered?
I see the dealers are going to be there with demo rides. Do they typically have the latest models? Rumor has it that they are coming out with a 800 cc model next year.
Anything else I should be aware of before going?
Thanks for the info!

Sunday is pack up and go home day. If experience prevails, the place will be vacant by noon. Sunday would not be your best choice of days to visit. A visit to a local dealer would serve you better to look and test ride new model bikes.

Do what ever you have to to get to the rally on Saturday. Pickin's will be slim to none on Sunday.

You both can get in. Hubby is your guest. You both gotta pay, though.

BMW NA will be ther with THE latest models.

Good luck,
Bob

You appear from your posts to be coming down with something. It appears that due to this illness you will unfortunately have to call out of work. :wave

Don't call in sick. Call in "well" as in "I feel way too good to come in to work today". :laugh

Oh damn....that would have been a great idea...except for my boss walking in as I was reading the last couple of posts....DOH! :banghead
Looks like no VT rally for me... :(
Do they shift around the country? When do you think the rally will be back in NE?

The rally will be in Wiscowsin next year, and you'll have to wait and see after that.
