Hello Bill,
The only way any organized function improves over time is by feedback.
This is exactly what I got from your post, feedback or lets say an
observation.
I only ride old bikes and would be a little put off by there not being
vintage type catagories regardless if I rode one in or not. Sounds to
me like I would have loved the SD ralley with or with out
the old bike catagory because it sounds like it was great. Pete
Roper, pig roasts, fire pits, cabins, tent sites , boy that sounds like
fun !
They day you feel like you can't offer your opinion or discuss an
observation you mite well piss on this site ! All and all I feel this is
a good organization that listened to feedback and over time has learded
what it takes to put on a great rally

| Hello All! This is my first time so be gentle!....due to the kindness friendliness of Charlie Mullendore, I found out about this mailing list at this year's West Virginia Rally, and have been reading all your e-mails since then, so now I thought maybe it's time for my two cents worth. First of all, I've been riding for over thirty years, and have finally found my niche'....Moto Guzzi. I have had or ridden just about every brand of bike you can think of, all of them were great fun, and many I still have, but my 1973 Eldorado is the best! Having attended just two Rally's (WVA & Western New York), I can tell that Guzzi people are for real. Not the "Yuppie" type, or the "Look how bad I am" type, just plain, good folks. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend the National, but very surprised that there wasn't an award for the "Oldest bike" ridden! I was a long time member of the BMWMOA and even they used to have "Oldest bike" awards. One of my favorite memories is going to the 1981 BMW Four Winds Rally at the "still wet behind the ears" age of 18, on a ratty but running like a clock 1951 R25 single and beating out an old guy (who was about thirty, but old to me then) with a perfect looking 1952 Sunbeam, (needless to say, he wasn't so happy about getting upstaged by a kid!) Anyway, put in my vote for having an "Oldest bike ridden" award at ALL the Rallies...people that love and ride the old stuff need rewarded for their efforts! Hope to see and meet you all at Vintage Days! Bill Snyder |
