Problem with central USA is that it will be flat and shitty. Get out to the rockies and we can see real mountains. Where there are mountains, there are great roads.

Further, you say "what about us east coast guys?" But I retort. What stops somebody from Nevada or Cali from complaigning about all the rallies being east of the mississippi.

Maybe we should get Smileyman to pipe up (or even Ebbs, he's been through that area), but I'm pretty sure there are some decent roads in the Ozarks.

Thats why we also did a mini rally in gettysburg last year so the northern folks could meet up. If the left coast wants one make it s they can attend or drive half way across the country to get there.

I've got it!!!!!!

I say we do a rally in a new state each year... but make it so we can travel to other states... so for example...

this year we held it in GA... but rode through GA, SC, NC, and TN so no need for a rally in those four... next would be in say... AR where we could hit AR, MO, MS, AL or LA...

see what I'm saying? it'd get people more "stickers" and would get us out to enjoy the fucking US and not stick to the area's we know...

there are good places to ride in almost EVERY state... and if there isn't the state next to them does.... ie Nebraska or Kansas... got CO or MO or NM right there...

I think it'd lend to our memories and stories about the rallies... IMO
