Witch Doctor and Witch Doctor's Owner spent a lot of time and energy trying to orgaize something for May of 2000 - in the end they were not successful because of conflicts with other activities, time of year, distances etc.
Lisa/Jeff- please jump into this dialogue - what were the big hurdles that prevented us from meeting in 2000? Lisa your survey may have shown something as well - are Savage riders too spread out to pull a rally together?
I was keen initially on the rally for 2000 and only as we got closer to the dates did I really recognize that I could not get there
I haven't a clue really what it takes to get a rally together - Sturgis started with what - 8 riders - but that was 60 years ago.
I suspect that the secret may be to find a pocket of Savage riders and build the rally around them - and with a bit of time - it might grow.
I sent Apache the url for Mapquest and I will put it below to assist folks in considering such a run if something gets pulled togehter next winter.
I am still interested in participating in a Savage rally - somehow or other.
Keep the rubber side down
