Chartered Club events at the BMW MOA Rally in Salem OR

This was lifted from the bmwmoa.org forum.  Perhaps someone from the club would want to attend one or both of these events ?

Great Little Rally – Great location

Here’s the info about the Cass Rally held in WV.  Talk about amazing riding…..  I’ve been two years running now and it’s a very enjoyable small rally, very laid back, good camping and fun things to do in the area including the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the Cass Railroad State Park for a cool train ride .  Feel free to ask me about it.  Rick N.

Good day fellow RIDERS! I hope that you all have had some great spring weather
and have went out and enjoyed the freedom and feeling we all get from TWO
WHEELS. The time has come again for us to remind you all of our
annual Get Together in Boyer Station (CASS WV). So far the weather looks
extremely cooperative so lets keep our fingers crossed, but if not we’ll still
have a great time. The rally kicks off on Friday May 24-Monday 27, but if you
want to arrive early the campground is very flexible. The price will
remain the same as the past several years $40.00 and
no pre-registration is necessary, the price is the same at the
gate. The following is a list of what will be taking place during the
rally:

Location for the 2014 Rally announced !

The location for the BMW MOA 2014 International Rally – that’s the one to be held a year AFTER this great year’s upcoming International Rally in Salem OR July 18-21 2013 – has been announced.

It is to be held in St. Paul Minnesota at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds.  That is a fun area of the country to explore. Not as many mountains as Oregon, but still beautiful lakes, great roads, and only about 600 miles away from Indy.  That’s a longish one day ride, and an easy two day ride.

Just don’t let your excitement about St. Paul stop you from attending this year’s rally in Salem Oregon, July 18-21.
Did I already mention about this year’s really in Salem OR ?
