    Name that Rally

    I didn't know if I should start this here or the Photog forum...but I think lots of Newbies wonder what to expect at a rally.
    How about some of your favorite rally pics...with a twist, let the readers guess where it is.
    Are all Rallies the same or can you tell one from the other.
    (ps. you might need to change your file name...)

    Tom,

    You went to the "Biker Build a House Rally"?

    damn right.... but you should see it now ! The Salty Fog Rally has started from a 'seed planted by Paulbach' and is evolving. This is Mary's 150 year old Homestead which welcomed a little crew to kick off the first rolling rally run under the Salty Fog flag circa 2008. BTW Tom, Paul etc, as Salty Fog Alumni members, you are welcome anytime.

    As we return from our wonderful U.S. tour we will begin preparations for Salty Fog Rally 2008 on August 26th. -Bob ( 6 days and counting)

    WOW! I also guessed Midland before I read any of the other post. I remember it well. I was riding back and forth on that road taking care of injured rally participants and riding back and forth to the Mid-Michigan Medical Center keeping tabs on those that went to the hospital.
    I think that was one of the busiest rallies for the first aid section.

    Midland was a really fun rally. Of the three rallies I have chaired, it was the easiest.

    Sometimes it's the bend in the road that makes life worth the ride.

    I remember watching "fender benders" from that perch. I wondered why ATGATT riders take it all off when they get to a rally!
