I emailed Frank Wedge about 3 weeks ago about 2017. Nobody has stepped up to the plate.

I'll donate door prizes.  :thumb:  I have my SP positioned in PHX to go anywhere in the lower 48 for the 2017 National.

A National Rally would be huge bite swallow.  Usually 300+ riders.

Good try!   :wink:  I have to get there and leave.  Although, Matt has given away a Guzzi at the NM state rally for at least the last 2 years.  The young lady that won this years bike was/is very happy.  :thumb:

Plenty of open space, no facilities for restroom or showers for much of a crowd

 Probably 500 with out much trouble , the only bottleneck would be the bathrooms , one lady's , one men's , and one shower .
Hmm , maybe we could do co-ed showers  :shocked: :laugh:

 Well , and feeding 500 is beyond our capabilities , but we are hoping for at least 60 next year , which at our current rate of growth would match the curve . Started at 8 , then about  20 , then 35 , last year we had 47 or so . Come on down , love to have you .

Cedar Vale-stock!!!! Three Days Of Peace, Music, and Guzzis   :thumb:

Brilliant too!  I'll bring the music and speakers...Chris and I can share DJ responsibilities, Sam can chime in on the guitar when we run out of songs.

Damn...I didn't realize we had 47 at Cedar Vale last year...it was a nice cozy gathering around the camp fire indeed.  It's almost getting to be a large gathering!

Big Bend or Ruidoso / Cloudcroft would be great locations too...nice riding up there.

Yeah....Chris said that hosting the WI state rally is enough work and they get about 350 participants.  'course Texas or LA would be cool.  Haven't been out that way in a long time.  Wanting it there and having actually being held there is a whole 'nother story.
