I attended the NorCal BMW club 49'er Rally this weekend. It was very well attended, with 571 registered a couple of weeks before the event. Needless to say there were a lot of BMW motorcycles at the rally, but walking around I didn't see a single R1200/1250RS. Lots of R, GS and RT models, but no RS versions that I saw. A few photos of the rally are attached. Check out the price on the 2021 R18. At that price it would make a great lawn ornament. Actually there was an RS, but it was an old air-head model. And also a heavy-duty pizza oven.

BTW, the only food available at the rally fairgrounds was from Sal's Taco truck and a hot dog vendor located at the beer garden. If you wanted anything else you had to ride a couple of miles to the small town of Mariposa and head for one of their few restaurants.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #3 Back in the day, a food truck would have been a luxury at some local rallies. Perhaps a Saturday evening meal and camping space was a common offering.

If you registered for the rally early, you were entitled to a free catered dinner on Saturday. Early registration was $115. Register too late and you paid $135. Breakfast was available from a local caterer on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for $30 if you prepaid about a month in advance. If you waited too long to register, or were a walk-in, you paid $135 and all you got was a patch of grass to pitch your tent.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #4 Thats how it was when we used to go to the small MOA rallies. We never made it to any of the larger local MOA rallies like Top Of The Rockies or Finger Lakes.
