Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Rides, Rallies, & Events Branson Rat Raid

I know it's the same weekend as Sturgis but....anyone from this site planning on going?

Starts on Aug 4 in "Beautiful Branson, MO".
Lots of glitz and corny hillbilly stuff going on there but our Ozark roads are some of the best riding in the midwest.
Also, some of the nicest folks you could ever meet attend these midwest rallies.
I'm just judging this by the people I met at the other Ozark Raids in the past.

Tony,
The RAT Pack from Oklahoma City will be coming in shortly after noon. I'm not sure how many riders there will be though.
C ya,

Hey Tony,

I'm planning on riding down with a friend. He's riding a black BMW R1150R and and I'll have the black TBA. Probably hang out on Friday some and then onto those Ozark roads you're talking about.

Several years ago I drove through the Ozarks in the middle of the night in an empty Matco tool truck and six or seven twisters touched down in Arkansas.

With no radio in the truck and somewhat clueless - we thought it just the worst thunderstorm we'd ever seen....later to find out they were tornados!!

Hopefully we find better weather next weekend!

There is a group from one of the local RAT groups coming in also - Thursday I believe........

See ya there.

Jeff

Jeff,
If you're leaving very early Friday morning you might hook up with the Kansas City group from Engle Motors.
Here's their website.
