If there is any way for any of you guys to make it I strongly suggest you make the trip. I believe the thinking is that National rallies have to be central to attract the most members. I know that sucks for us on the east or west coasts. But like I said, if at all possible, try to attend. I,m 69 years old and if I can ride 1800 miles to a rally most of you can also

Bob... You have to remember those Victory's have limited range.

Do you it! I too will finish the lower 48 on this rally. But, I'm only missing AR and OK.

I am surprised no VROC representation. Are they on the wane?

The Victory riders appear to be wimps about temperatures and distances. At least some of them. Gibby appears to be the exception, at least around here.

I guess they should try riding around here as a work up to the rally, but I shouldn't talk as I am not going.

Lots of big talk from guys that probably won't make the trip because of excuse after excuse, blah, blah, blah. My old dad used to say "talk is cheap", seems he was right.

The cool part about riding a Barca-lounger Victory is you don't NEED any dealers along the way. I'd leave all the T-shirt collecting and back-slappin' stops to Scott and just listen to my tunes as the miles melt away.....

I ride with a group of Victory riders that make 99% of the VBA riders look like mini bike riders. If any doubt that you are welcome to come stay at my place and ride with us. Put up or shut up!

I think the red Victory's have more range than the blue and brown ones. See you in Arkansas Mike:cool:
