TEWKS Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Burnt up most of my vacation time until July 1, I'll need to work on this! Woo Hoo just the same! Pat Link to comment
Endobob Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Thank you Ken for stepping up! Those of us that have participated in the FART or HeleN-Back and enjoyed your many routes know that the 2013 UnRally will be a huge success! Link to comment
tallman Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Scooters, goody... thanks Ken, don't know what we'd do without you. Link to comment
JustJean Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 When you say lost AGAIN are you the one who sent me in that tunnel? Hopefully in for the UN! Link to comment
Kinsley Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 When you say lost AGAIN are you the one who sent me in that tunnel? Hopefully in for the UN! Hi Jean, I'm one of several on this Board that have that unique talent, but I don't think I can lay claim to the famous tunnel incident, but I think I know who it might be if you were in WV Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 It will be a long shot for me to make it this year, but the dates are on the calendar and my fingers are crossed Link to comment
racer7 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 If I'd read this first my question in the other thread would have been answered. The fact that the dates abut the RA Rally in Asheville and that the locations will be close makes this an easy "two fer"....Over a week of play in the mountains for only 1 ride to get there....

Endobob Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Well rats, this coincides with another rally in Ouray Colorado so I guess I'm out. Can't imagine "another" rally could possible keep you away from a BMWST UnRAlly! Link to comment
Kinsley Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Of the two rallies, we will have the best roads I did not say best "views", we lose that one. Link to comment
Sickticket Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Yo People, I am new to this forum but I am planning on picking up my first BMW in a few months (ex Honda/Yamaha guy). Looking to get a R1200RT and would love to make to trip south to this rally. I've done Navy get-to-gethers but never a bike rally. Is there a cover charge, all tents, BYO food....etc. I don't even know what questions to ask. Please bring me up to speed. Thanks Peter Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Tough to beat Ouray. Link to comment
Bud Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Tough to beat Ouray. I will agree based on the 5 times I have been there. But you gotta wonder with all of the desirable BMWST members at the UN, you would think that would be some kind of offset. Just sayn........................................... Link to comment
JustJean Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I was told nothing is in stone yet! Didn't know that! Sorry. Apparently the UN is still in the running. Link to comment

Thanks Peter We call it the "Un"Rally because it's not an organized rally in the sense of their being set activities to attend. The hotel and location will soon be announced as will the registration process. If you want to camp, there are campgrounds in the area, but not necessarily next door to the hotel. Everyone just shows up. We meet and introduce ourselves, and make friends with people we only know by their internet screennames. We ride the local roads. The only organized event is a group dinner on the last day, just so we can all be in one room at the same time and enjoy a meal together. Then we go home. It's simple and uncomplicated. There is a registration fee which will be announced, and it usually includes a T-shirt. Then there's the cost of that last meal (usually catered). That's it. You take care of your hotel bill and your other meals, and you just spend the day riding with new friends and the evenings telling lies about how awesome you rode. So yes, probably a lot like some of your old Navy get togethers. Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Not sure if I will make this one yet. I was planning on renting a cabin on the late the week after this. We shall see.... Shawn Link to comment

Kathy R Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Folks - The conversation about Ouray, on the same dates as the 2013 UN, now has it's own Thread in Ride and Event Planning HERE. This will help keep folks from confusing the two. The UN location in the East for 2013 is soon to be announced. Link to comment

MikeRC Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Well, Im out. I got roped into being the local arrangements chair for my national society meeting held in Calgary June 21 to 25. Don't think I can make it to the east coast in 48 hrs. Spring Torrey possible (if I get enough work done ahead of time). Larry wants me to check out locations for the 2014 UnRally so will have to make a scouting trip of WA/ID/OR/MT in the summer. Mike Cassidy Link to comment
