Are you sure it's not 32.50????? Because there is NO F'ing way I would pay that kind of money for a rally of any kind. Dude for 325.00 bucks you could see a hell of allot of country on a bike. Do you really need to have a guide?????? Good grief.... 325.00 bucks

 

$325--surely that includes a blow job and a couple of new tires. HOG ought to figure out a way to put on a couple of nationals a year...lots of clowns out there with money burning holes in their pockets.

 

I see you are in Scony, i am just over the boarder in minnesota.
Where are these three day events with bbq and beer?

 

I was also interested in that HOG rally that they offered since it is somewhat close to where I live. I was wondering what the cost is since I never had done any of those national rides. I guess they just killed it for me. Heck I can do my own ride with hotels and food and gas to the same place for 500 bucks. I figured if it was 100 or less to register I would go. Even the State HOG rally's are only 40 bucks and most of the time you get a t-shirt, pin and some other junk.

 

Don't get caught wearing a HOG patch that ya didn't earn.

 

im in!!!!!

 

Here ya go:

Battle Cry – September 26-29
The 4 day ride will travel through Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. The ride will incorporate visits to Harley-Davidson dealerships, several Civil War historical sites and the Wheels through Time motorcycle museum. During the tour, a re-enactment speaker will present a brief history of the Fredericksburg Battle on location at Spotsylvania. Riding some of the most beautiful roads in the USA we will cruise through the back roads of the Smoky Mountains and jointly experience amongst other spectacular rides the Cherohala Skyway and the Tail of the Dragon. The journey will be roughly 950 miles, with very limited interstate. Registration for the Battle Cry Touring Rally opens on March 1, 2012.

So for your $425 you get to follow the crowd wearing your official HOG t-shirt, pin, and rally patch. WHOOOOOHOOOO!!!

 

Sounds like the cub scouts for your kids. You think it's all fun and games until you have to spend all your time making money for the trips.

 

I hear the Bingo games at HOG events are exciting...

 

I am usually pretty lenient on the HOG crap that's dished out, being a subscribed member but not part of a local chapter. That said, the majority of these guys are right...that's insane at just about any price.

It's your money and if you want to meet new people and have the cash to spend go for it.

Personally, I would rather map out a route with a few good friends, pack camping gear on the bike, and do a 4 day ride on a budget of $425. Now that sounds like a plan.
