I've noticed we've got a lot of Harley and Motorcycle riding veterans, retirees, and active duty personnel here on RallyPoint.

UPDATE: AUGUST IS PAST - I'M SHOOTING FOR A RALLY ON 2017 (SPRING OR SUMMER)! I'LL UPDATE THIS POST WHEN SPRING ARRIVES HERE IN COLORADO! THANKS!

What are your thoughts about putting together a rally and ride somewhere centrally located in the USA, so we could all meet up during the month of August 2016 or September 2016 for 5 to 6 days of riding, etc. Send your thoughts, a location, and a picture of your bike

What about doing it as part of another rally or get together? Like Rolling Thunder in DC, Bike Week in FL, or Sturgis?

SSG Tom Pike I think that is great idea as well. Can you send me your thoughts on how we could organize that up at Sturgis for 2017 and then maybe duplicate it in DC and Florida as well? Please email me at [login to see] Thanks!

Sturgis or Daytona Beach, Pick a campground, hotel, or restaurant make reservations, and we meet up.
If you want to make it DC for Rolling Thunder I could find us a place, If we have a lot of people hotel conference room for half a day or evening everyone chip in a few bucks, cash bar. If it's just a handful of us could host it at my house everyone bring some beer and I'll throw some pig parts on the smoker. I'm about 30 minutes from DC.

Get your motor running' head out on the highway! Lookin' for adventure, and whatever comes our way!

I have my leathers. Own a helmet. My boots are ready, as well as my goggles. I would go out and kick my 1948 Indian Chief to life, except for one thing.

The US gov't, in all of it's might and power has reaped my driver's license, due to an experimental surgery that has made me seizure prone.

I sold my sled to my brother. All I can do is to stare wistfully, when I hear the roar of bikes going by.

Ride on, brothers!

If I get a bit misty eyed when I sometimes hear that bit of distant thunder, you guys wouldn't look down on me, would ya?

I have been banned from two or even three wheel. Four years ago I nearly paid the utimate riding price and I am still paying. For now I am in a Cage only. Anytime there is a riding event if cages are not welcome then I must pass and I totally understand.

SPC Thomas Schmidt Is that something you want to obtain in the future or you don't have any interest?

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - I would love to obtain it in the future but right now I'm strapped hard on finances so I'm unable to do anything to work towards it.

SrA Chris "Shadow" McGee Yes, I know! Unfortunately, the move put a stop to me getting a rally put together - I'm going to shoot for next year! I'll update above and let everyone know! Thanks
