Sunnbobb said he'd work something out over the winter months but haven't heard anything.

Sunbobb seems to be the only one in the entire western US willing to put together an annual West Coast Event. He's a busy man, small business owners usually are. Seems to me someone somewhere in the western states would be willing to step forward an host this event.

I'd love to ride somewhere in the PNW, but I live in SoCal. Not sure how many Southern West Coast guys there are. Plus my bike is in pieces right now...

Usually there is a designated campground or motel, with some days rides or suggested routes for folks to ride, or some local event going on. Usually 2-3 nights. And the west can be anywhere from Colo west. Usually a small registration fee collected and the club kicks in a bit. Its a little late to try to pull off something this season but not out of the question. Look through some of the old and current run threads. Contact Whiskerfish for more details.

I know that this wouldn't qualify as a rally. But me and the wife will be going to the Sky valley m/c show. Anyone want to meet up there or along the way?

A rally sounds fun. But I can't travel to far to do one. Self employed guy here, you know take off when ever I want for as long as I want :lol:

I mentioned setting up a west coast rendezvous with my wife but the idea was nixed due to a flurry of trips and other stuff this year. I think 3 of us will go to Kettle Falls regardless. We did last year and enjoyed it a lot. With assistance, I might be able to set something up for 2018 in Kettle Falls.
