Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Rides, Rallies, & Events Texas Rally

I travel so much maybe I missed it. Have we ever had a Texas Rally? If not, should we? The Alamo, Riverwalk, Hill Country 3 sisters riding etc.

Or Houston Galveston off season and the gulf coast.

Is there an interest?

I'm holdin' out for Miami, South Beach, everglades, the Key's !


SOUTH FLORIDA BABY!!!

I am working on a rally in march. Not my rally, and not a "triumph rally" but a cool one none the less. I just gotta confirm dates.

I think if we have a SWTf we should have a WWTF (wild west Triumph fest)

Sounds like a good idea to me. How about near Round Rock or Marble falls.

I am open for anywhere. We can always find a few good routes to ride once we pick the place.

South Padre and Corpus are just too far south IMHO for those already doing a lot of miles to get here.

We need a good central location near a good camping spot.

I'm in.

Nice to see you Texans down there are finally gettin' with the picture and are thinkin' about throwin' a rally too!

(...took ya long enough...but hey, we all know how slow on the ol' uptake y'all are sometimes!!!)

fyi,,,a lil off subject ,,,but MODS VS ROCKERS april 1st in dallas

Thats a good Idea Paul, But we should do one of our own. I wonder if some of they guys who have put together events elswhere would give us some advice?

Interesting site.

Any ideas for a date?

Check under "escorts" in the yellow pages.

(hope this helps)

I'd be interested in ridin over from Mississippi in late May or early June for a Triumph rally. I'm locked into the job till then. Thats kept me from the other SE USA rallies posted on this site. But I'd love to do a Texas rally. I've got family in both Dallas and Houston areas but anywhere would suit me. I'm in if the schedule is right.

Okay lets pick a City, I live in San Antonio, we have members in Dallas and Houston areas as well as Sequin and Austin. So anywhere would work. Dallas may be the most reachable for the most folks out of the area I am thinking.

So, I will start by saying Dallas for the location. Remember SWTF is the weekend of June 3 so lets not conflict with that.

Partial to the Hill Country myself. Fredericksburg is a favorite, but Marble Falls, Johnson City are good too. Along 290 are a lot of campgrounds and historic stuff.

Out towards Medina is the Lonestar Motorcycle Museum. Not a whole lot to do but ride as the Twisted Sisters are near there.

I have some contacts with cycle dealers and a general apparell shop that would probably get in on it. They're centered around New Braunfels and Wimberly area though. Alamo or Lonestar Triumph might be inclined to get involved, but not sure. Lonestar out of Austin is the better of the two and have a loose, somewhat disfunctional RAT club out there.

As a rally master for a military travel club I know of some caterers and a couple of campground owners as well. Particulary, Bandera and Canyon Lake.

That's my input.

From what I've seen and read, my vote is hill country. The museum and three sisters look good.

You have won me over, I like hill country. The twisted sisters, Vanderpool MC museum etc.

Will our out of State folks ride that deep in is all I worry about. Texas is the size of France after all.

Okay, how bout you guys up Dallas way, is Hill country good for you?

yep

I am in lets pick a week end. Yee Haw.

Soon or far but not mid summer. It gets a little hot here. But its a dry heat!

June 10,17 or, 24? Dr. PC when can you do it?

I agree on Saxtron's thought.Late Apr, May, maybe early Jun. After that we're looking at Oct early Nov. The spring has the flowers and Blue Bonnets. Fall has the changing colors. Both are awesome in there on rights. If we're looking for a simple first time throw together, I think the spring can be done quickly. The event can grow from there to a follow-up event next year.

If we want a larger confluence of bikes, people, vendors, etc, then the fall is a better target date to give time to get it all together.

What kind of event are we talking here. Metric only. British Iron only. Triumph (New Bonneville) only and let the rest of the world come and stare at our bikes in awe. Or what.

I would be happy with 5-6 Triumph riders, anything else just makes it better. Then again it doesn't take a lot to make me happy. A little wind in my face and a few friends is all I really need.

October is a fabulous month in Hill Country. Cool mornings and 80 by noon.

Should we be talking to Euro Sport, Polaris West, Lone Star, Alamo etc. to get announcements out too? I think we have a dozen dealers in Texas that could post it.

As someone who would be comeing from the midwest fall would work better as we already have two events in June,the SW and Midwest rallys.

I like spring but am down for fall too. I just want to get together with you guys and do some riding, and hanging out.
maybe have some beers and a steak or sandwich definately a good time. Can hardly wait to do it I need to get ya'll the dates of my band gigs so as to not interfere with those. The band would kill me.

March 25th-27th Outlaw biker
June 11th Beerfest.

Well, between MW, SW, NE, and Georgia + bike week, ROT rally in Austin, Sturgis, lol, I am thinking we will just have to pick a week.

We will figure it out here in a few days or months or minutes. Where was I? Oil thread umm, no, brb.

Yes Doc I am thinking Friday afternoon gather up folks get here get some food and some drink someplace. Ride Saturday see the sights and ride Sunday AM late some can start home others can ride with us then stagger out.

COUNT ME IN!

WHEN WHERE AND HOW? CAUSE WWE CAN DO ALAMO AND RIVERWALK THEN HIT LUKENBACH HWY AND HIT THE POSTOFFICE/BEER BARN!

THERE IS EVEN BRERKENRIDGE PARK FOR A BIG GATHERING AND PICKNICK. LET ME KNOW AND ILL SEE HOW I CAN HELP. I got some biker family that lives near the park who I could probably wrangle some help setting up with.

Marlin and I will try to get together this weekend or early next week. We will start with setting a date and tentative plan. It can grow or not from there.

I think it will be fun. I will be at SWTF 1st week of June so surely will not be then lol.

Lets not forget Borne. But Canyon lake has camping, oh and there is a cool place on 281 for hanging out. I CAN DEFINATLY GET SOME ROUT MAPS FOR ALL THE GOOD ROADS. as mentioned inlaws are bikes they rertired a few years ago from the Gypsy MC. Both did massive organizing stuff. i can pull on them. He!! mom in law had a 79 bonnie that was almost mine. She may get a kick out of helping. PM me for phone numbers and stuff.

Definitely not during the summer!

Okay, here goes.

May 13,14,15. Exact location TBA but will be Texas Hill Country. For reference SW of Austin, W of New Braunfels, NW of San Antonio.

The 13th will be roll in get settled and do a ride out to eat wherever.

The 14th will include running the 3 sisters and Vanderpool Motorcycle Museum.

The 15th will be a quick lunch trip to Lukenbach Texas to visit with Waylon, Willie and the boys. Sunday is a major motorcycle stop there. Year round population 3.

Everything above is basic rambling and subject to change. Lets try to get some folks together.

I know, I know, it conflicts with Myrtle Beach. I hope the WWTF doesn't kill their bike week.

Sounds good so far.

Sounds like we have a plan ya'll!!!!!

There is a list of places to stay on the link I put up above. The DRose inn doesn't look bad or the River bluff cabins.
