Thanks Paul, I sat next to you during the Johnson City Rally in the Oil Head maintence class. At the time I was thinking who is this guy answering/helping the instrutor during the class. I was sitting to your left. So if I live in Ohio and ride to Fairbanks then to the rally, It would be from Ohio to Redmond.

More and more "bikes" are towing RV camper rigs behind them nowadays! I guess the m/c campers are considered RVs, yes? Gotta love the wide variety of stuff folks come on and in . Makes it all intersting....Randy

This was a brand new site when we were there last. The trees are bigger now, but there still isn't a lot of shade yet. Nice site. tb

With the number of members in the club now you can predict where the long distance riders come from. Southern California, South Florida, Newfoundland or New Brunswick, Alaska. Depending on where the rally location is. The Grand Tour award is the distance you have been on the road continuously with receipts. That usually that is a matter of months and 10,000 miles, more or less.
