agreed. smokeout is the one. the rest are just middle-aged whites behaving poorly while emulating a trailer-park environment.

Seems to me like RV's are welcome, straight from the Smokeout website


RV spots have two event wristbands included in the price of each spot (normally $ 70 gate price). Last year some RV campers were complaining that they already paid to get in with their RV and should not have to buy event passes (some of the RV spots are IN the event area). Anyway, they raised so much hell that the people who own the RV camping and run RV camping are just changing the way they do it this year. The prices look like a huge increase but it really isn't. Last year an RV spot with no electric was $ 75. This year it's $ 150 but includes two event tickets (worth $ 70 at the gate) so that is sort of like a $ 5 increase.

Remember two tent campers pay $ 40 each (without pre-registration) plus event tickets.
Each RV spot is for two people. Additional people staying in the camper will need to purchase camping and event wristbands.
This is the RV pricing:
Outside RV spaces with full hook up… $ 200
Inside RV Spaces with full hook up… $ 225
RV spot with 50 amp service… $ 250
RV with electric only… $ 150

Sorry Certaineed and nabubba once again foiled by those damm RUBS with the RVs

LOL

If you ride a Harley and can only go to one rally, it has to be Sturgis. Then haul *** all over the west for the other three weeks. Be careful not to violate parole and congrats on having a decent PO.
yeah that

That word permission gets lots of attention. The last person I asked permission from was my mother---bless her heart. If I had to choose just one rally to attend it would be Sturgis because of the fact that it is Sturgis. There are better rally's out there but Sturgis is Sturgis. We have a final rally coming up near where I live. My girlfriend my not be able to get off for the rally----my statement to her was---sucks to be you. Notice no permission asked or received.

well if its so hilarious i suggest you laugh about it and stop being a dck.

another thing you wont find at smokeout is dcks.

i dont care how many toys you got. all i care about is if you rode your bike to the event and if you're interested in being part of the party. if our brand of fun doesn't appeal to you feel free to visit any one of the 9 billion bike rallies that aren't smokeout.
