Huge detour. BTDT. No thanks.
In all actuality, the side roads in Kansas are better than the interstate. It's the crosswinds that drive me nuts.

Some bikes. Some with motors, some without.

OK, Lets recap The 2005 rally will be somewhere east of the Mississippi, north of the Ohio, west of New York and south of Canada.
IÔÇÖm getting an impression that next yearsÔÇÖ rally will be mostly flat, hot, and uncomfortably humid in July. Every time I go back there, IÔÇÖm reminded of why I left the Midwest in the first place.![]()
Wisconsin
Indiana
Illinois
We'll see................................
US24 parallels I-70 just to the north. Great road (for Kansas)... but there *is* patrol... DAMHIKT.Originally posted by KBasa

If it is in Wisconsin, I wish its timing would be in conjunction with something happening at Road America. Always wanted to attend an event there ... preferably M/C-related.
come down across arizona and new mexico. avoid north texas, stay south. the ride'll suck only from san antonio to houston. west texas mountains, hill country, east texas pine forests. then go up through louisiana and arkansas and get yer ozark miles.
there are all sorts of ways to avoid kansas, eastern colorado, and whatever else is up there, and flat, and straight. you just need plenty of time. "uh boss, im going to be 'remote officing' for two months next summer."

In my opinion the Music was the only downside to the rally at Midland.Originally posted by Helen Twowheels
I'm sure, no matter where it is it will be an ULTIMATELY C O O L rally!!! Sue and Brian did GREAT things with Midland...What a party! There is no way the 2005 rally could not be SUPER with those 2 at the helm... no matter where it is!
Remember the excellent music at Midland!!!
My vote for a rally site would be Tennessee or Kentucky where the real musicians can be found. With our aging membership perhaps a little two-stepping or Bluegrass would be more desirable.
It's a start. I'd be happy with state or region, such as New England. Either way July is still bad for me.... But, if it's in eastern Canada I'm there!Originally posted by Rob Nye
In other words I support our President in giving folks information on future rally plans, but I hesitate in announcing the city / state.
Zones should be plenty.
Comments?

The correct answer is Lima, Ohio. July 21-24, 2005 Sue Rihn-Manke is the rally chair.![]()
