I am a moto-camper guy.  I just like to ride, sightseeing along the way and camp so that I can go a little further the following day.  The only rallies I will do for sure this year is a gathering at Baker City and the Oyster Run in Anacortes.

In 2015, I want to do the Run to the Wall, which is a Veterans ride from California to Washington DC and is there over Memorial Day weekend.  It is hosted by Vet groups all across the USA  with free camping and food for those participating.  Some of the Vet groups even provide free gas for those who will take it.  After that rally, I will put my bike and trailer on a freighter bound for Germany.  I want to tour Normandy, Germany and finish in Denmark.  I will be camping and touring the whole time in Europe.  I should be gone 2 to 3 months.  Yea.  I will sell the Drifter and trailer in Denmark and fly home.  I am excited just making the plans.  I hope my health continues to be good so that I can make this happen.  I will do a blog on this trip, with the initial planning aspects as well.  I posted this..... cuz the OP asked the question.....

Which tour did you do? They have two listed, the free one and the steel toe tour. We were just talking this last weekend about which we would do. The steel toe one sounds kind of cool if you get to see all the fabrication stuff they say you do.

I only have one real ride planned so far. I'll be riding to Kansas City with my brother. Originally it was going to just be a ride up there for a meal at a BBQ place he likes (I can't remember the name), but I think we'll be touring the HD plant they have up there. Regardless of the brand, it should still be cool to see it. It isn't too far of a ride, about 3 hours each way cruising comfortably on the highway. Should be pretty fun even if it isn't super long.

great tour there.... its mostly vrod stuff but definatly worth the trip.  make sure you get good directions the place is kinda hard to find.

Hi guy's wishing you a very happy new year from across the pond. Having done the Faro (Portugal) rally for the last two years decided on a change this year and have decided on this one in Austria "ferries booked and paid " bring it on!!!!!!!  Sept 2nd-7th
It originally was a HOG event but over the years has grown into an all brand bike rally with 120,000 attending last year

I guess I don't have any specific plans just yet, or not many.  I'd like to go to the 2014 Drift-in.  I was also considering putting together a mid-Ohio Drifter-Riders Covered Bridge tour.   Problem is, the number of Drifter-Riders in OHIO seems to be DWINDLING BY THE MINUTE.....  They're all buying Vaqueros and Harleys and such... :o

if I knew the dates I would be interested and just need a place to sleep......

A lot depends on my being released from the military and what they have planned for me.

I'm not sure about that....  Do you really think the military can afford to let you walk away, with all that you know???

Sometime this summer I want to ride to Timmins to met Woodcarver, and have a coffee with him. Perhaps a ride to Windsor to met aralph, and then from there it is only a 2 hour 40 min ride to some town in 0hi0, and might be well worth GB's face when I walk into his tire store.........ask for 0hi0 air, understand it is hotter then most places......
