Rally in Northwest????

[Geezer]

I'm a slave to the motorcycle market much of the year and I can't seem to pull myself away for long when the orders are rolling in.

So until my family can run the biz without me, I don't get away very often during riding season.

This must be a problem at all rally's. You just can't please everyone. Initially we had talked at Detroit Lake about Tillamook, and maybe it should be left atle to come.

[Geezer]

The problem is everyone wants the rally near them. I'm guilty of that too and I don't have more than a couple days off that time of year and I would have to skip a rally much more than 3 hours ride from where I live.

The poll

Anyone know how i change the options on the poll. I set it up, but doesn't look like i can add to it.

north west rally

Hi, I'm up in Canada near Blaine WA. I'd be interested in coming along next summer. The Puget Sound area sounds good.

If you are talking the whole Pugent sound area from Olymipa north to Blaine and west to the Seguim, Port Angles area, I'd guess about 20-25, maybe more, it's hard to tell because not all of them are regular visiters the site.

How many people in the seattle area?

[wa407mpp]

The idea of a poll was to see who would be interested in attending and where they are from, so we could try find a centralized location,and date, not to pick a place. As in wa407mpp-Port Townsend Wa. Available any weekend except holidays.

Larry are you proposing a rally in Shaniko?

No, but it would make a nice ride. The problem is where to stay? There are a number of small tent only type campgrounds in the Mt. Hood National Forest as can be found at the following link.

There's also some camps in the gorge area.

It's an interesting place to go see. Maybe a small get together and ride late next sring or summer would be cool also. Just throwing ideas out there is all.

Larryare you proposing a rally in Shanico? If so, do you know if there is anywhere to camp? I would love that ride myself, but i need to see how far from here Shanico is. I have been wanting to go there for quite awhile. If nothing else, maybe you, me, Ron, Terry, Tony, or whoever is local and wants to go could do it before the weather gets real bad, or wait until spring.

This is just one suggestion for a day ride from somewhere...

Oregon Hwy 218, Shaniko to Fossil, a 42 mile twisty with history and scenery.

I would be interested in a rally or some kind of meet.
Tillamook would be too far for me,but maybe somewhere on the east side of the cascades would be cool.Maybe Chelan or Ellensburg or even south closer to the Oregon border.

[XS1100 Newbie]

Give me some ideas for the option folks.

[wa407mpp]

Someone needs to post a pole first. Then we can look for a central location.

[XS1100 Newbie]

Not a bad idea. It would be better to have the location voted on. I personally don't know of a good place, but i will look.
