Maybe we could keep a post going of upcoming group rides or rallies that others may be interested in participating in since the weather seems to be on our side.
count me in
Yes please!! :)
Some public events that I'm aware of:
http://www.motorcyclemonster.com/events/state-Utah.html

http://www.lightningcustoms.com/utah-rallies-events.html

http://www.elkomotorcyclejamboree.com/

and it looks like Lavapalooza (Lava Hot Springs) is going to happen this year in August.

We typically try to get out on Saturdays for casual rides. Hopefully others will post as well.
Hopefully this ride calendar will be big enough on here. We are going to the Elko Rally and I'm sure a few more, Sturgis most likely.
The Beartooth is awesome, the ride over the pass at 11k feet is amazing.
Count us in...We try to ride most weekends during when the weather is nice..Would love to plan a couple of long weekend trips too if anyone is interested....Lou and Suzanne
Tonight at 8:00pm at the Broken Spoke in Ormond Beach, FL.

Fun,times and Moab sounds like a great place to go.
I read this as mustache rides.. lol.
Hoping to pull off a ride, even if just short/local on Sat! Never opposed to strolling down the road even for just a coffee, as long as we can bike there.

You folks are lucky! It is just now getting warm enough to ride here. I just now put the battery back in my bike. Just in time for snow this weekend!


It's usually to cold here this time of year but this year has been strange.
We're up for a Sat ride, sometime! And planning on Elko, as well...We actually had a very nice little meet and greet one afternoon out there during the rally last year! Hope to see just as many, if not more this year!
Elko was my first bike rally can't wait to go again

Don't for get
Evanston Freedom Rally June 8th - 10th
Naughty School Girl Run May 19th
Count us in! We'll be going on as many rides as we can this year, dividing our time between riding and camping. So many hobbies, and not enough time to do them! We're definitely going to elko again. We had such an awesome time last year and we're thinking our group and M&G will be bigger for this one! We'll also be making at least one trip to Vegas this year too. Who's in? Can't wait to see familiar friends and meet some new ones. S&N
Planning a ride for Sat, 24th...meet up at the Barbary Coast 10:30....open for suggestions as to a destination...temps are supposed to be near 70!
Count us in...
Sounds like fun I will be there
Great!! The more the merrier!

We are thinking about hitting 48 states in 10 days and ending in sturgis... do not suppose anyone else is stupid enough to ride along?

Take the state motorcycle safety and endorsement course, they have changed the laws a bit since I did but here is the link. Even if you have rode for years it's still a great class and the stuff you will learn in it can save your life.

If you choose to ride, ride what your comfortable with. It's a great hobby, not a competition. And of course, the motorcycle safety course suggested by TNT4FUN2 is highly recommended as well. You'll be glad you did, it's great for increasing both competence and confidence.
I'm jealous! I want to go on a ride on Saturday. But we will be in Wendover for Joan Jett. If the weather is good, would love to next weekend though.

Northern riders can meet the Southern riders at 1115 at the Chevron Station on Park Lane in Farmington. The trip will take us through Ogden Canyon/Trappers Loop.

We'll be there for part of the ride but are peeling off at HWY 84 to go back thru Provo Canyon. Sorry we can't do the whole ride.


As has been said..any riding..is GOOD riding! Look forward to seeing you!
Forecast for tomorrow's ride....High of 70 and NO WIND! Break out the halter tops!
Jun 9th, Huntsman Cancer Institute Ride for the Kids, 0830 Pre-registration and breakfast, ride begins at 1000, RC Willeys, Riverdale UT.
We're headed to Thunder In The Valley (google it) the end of the month.
Anybody else gonna be there?
Elko this coming weekend! Riding out Friday...Let's go!
Who is going on the Elko ride this weekend? We are staying in Wendover on Saturday then to Elko Saturday. It would be fun to get a group going together!
How long a ride is it? The cost of the rally? I guess, where is the info on the rally? Sorry. E's birthday is Friday and curious as to what the rally entails.
Thanks R
It sounds fun. Warrant & Skidrow are playing. It's $40.00 per person. That includes registration to the Jamboree, concert tickets to both of them, bike parking, & some merchandise you get from there I think. You can go to elko motorcycle jamboree 2012 & get all the details

Honestly...I only paid the first couple of times to support the rally, before I decided I really wasn't getting anything for my money, other than a t-shirt, and a standing spot a little closer to the stage. And the rally was doing just fine from all the venders and business it brought to town.

Now I go...support the venders and the local establishments...and stand a little further from the stage. Call me cheap, I guess. But I dare say, from what I've seen very few buy the registration. I have lot's of company.
Count us in also
