Anytime the MN State HOG rally is in Duluth the wife and I attend. There is some awesome riding up there. This years registration fee includes unlimited entrance to the Aquarium. Lots of other stuff going on too.

Personally I have a ball. Chance to meet new people and renew old friendships. Usually some great riding in a new place or a place I may not have been to in awhile. Usually ride up with friends and we manage to have fun. I'm one of the geezers you put down, fortunately our group includes all ages and we accept each other that way.

My bro and I attended the Tenn. H.O.G. rally last year in the Smokies. I enjoyed it alot, but there was not much in the way of vendors, or wild night life, but they had some good entertainment at the Shed and outstanding riding "Dragon, Cheroholoa Skyway and Blueridge parkway all close by. Guess they are what you make of them.

I went to the Arizona one this year and was totally underwhelmed. The bike games were sort of entertaining but the rest was pretty lame. The gun show they were having next door was actually more interesting. And downtown Tucson is a major borefest. As far as the rides go, it's the same places we hit every year anyway. I might go to next years since it's gonna be up in Williams and it's a good excuse to hang out up in the pines but if it's just as lame that will likely be my last one.

We go for the group rides and chance to meet new people. We do have one thing in common geezers or not. The games are lame and hysterically funny. Plus, you get to look at everyone's bike.

Definitely not Sturgis or Ignacio, for that matter, but worth doing at least once.

I hear Utah puts on a good rally.

Well,

I had a friend that went to one once and he said he thought the first time you go that you have to make cupcakes for everybody there.......that's one reason I never went....anyway, go check it out and give us a report back.......
