2015 MOA NATIONAL RALLY BILLINGS MT

We are 59 days away from the start of the 43rd annual BMW MOA International Rally.

This year it is being held at the Metrapark  308 6th Ave N Billings, Montana 59101

The dates are 7/23/2015 to 7/25/2015

If you want to show up early there is always volunteers help needed to get the rally set up and started.

The entire rally is put on by volunteers.

So far we have 12 people who have logged in to our web site and sighed on as planning to attend

You must be logged into our website to see the form.

REMEMBER THIS DOES NOT REGIESTER YOU FOR THE RALLY, THAT MUST BE DONE ON THE MOA WEBSITE

When you fill out the form it will ask you if you are camping or staying in a motel, and who is attending you, your wife or kids.

This will provide a tent count for me to get the needed space in the chartered club camping area, along with a head count for club attendance. LAST YEAR WE GOT THE LARGEST CLUB AWARD.

I will get to the rally on Monday or Tuesday and will send out a latitude and longitude for our exact camping location.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

TOURING TIPS

When I pack for a 3 day trip or a 2 month I pack my cloths the same.

I carry 3 clean pairs of socks, underwear, and tee shirts, that along with the set I am wearing means I have 4 days of riding Then I when I stop for the night I find a motel with laundry facilities,

I put on swimming trunks and washing the entire bundle. The next morning I start out with 4 days of clean cloths.

The socks and underwear are placed on the tee shirt and then rolled up into a slim cylinder, this allows for much better packing. This also allows me to grab one cylinder and off to the show I go.

My dirty clothes are either placed in a zip lock bag to identify the dirty from the clean or turned inside out.
