I am most likely IN this year. I look forward to seeing you all again. Not to hijack the thread, but since Angie's passing, I've met someone new, and we are looking to marry at the end of June, so the only hurdle could be the search for a home for both of our families. Hopefully, I'll be able to be there with Ari and/or my fiancée Mary. Time will tell. I miss y'all. -

Scott...great idea to demonstrate our appreciation of Jay and his hospitality. And a clock is always a great gift. Can't wait to see your design ideas.

Thanks, Scott!
For anyone else who might be interested, here are some links to past rally photos scattered around my server. Our first year at the Rosemount was 2009; before that we lodged at the Sleep Inn in Columbus for a while.
For the first few years, we just sort of gathered at the gas station in Nashville, and everyone figured out lodging separately. In 2005 or 2006, we "semi-organized" some rooms at the Sleep Inn in Columbus. It was expensive and somewhat unfriendly, so Griffin and I did some hunting for a cheaper, friendlier, older "motor court" sort of place, and found the Rosemount in Bedford in the fall of 2008. 2009 was our first year at the Rosemount, and it's been our home ever since.
We experimented with the dates many times (Mother's Day was kind of a disaster... turns out my Mom was the only Mom who didn't give a hoot about it, so not a lot of people showed up), and really never found anything close to ideal until the Southeast GS Rally in Robbinsville, NC sort of fizzled out. That was always held in June, and later on we moved the BC rally to June, finally mostly settling on the weekend before Father's Day. Nothing works for everyone, of course; since so many weddings are in June, we interfere with lots of weddings and anniversaries. But the weather odds are much better in June than mid-May, and so far it seems to work.
More blasts from the past found in a quick rummage through my server:
BC 2004, which I'm pretty sure is the first GS rally I attended. I think there was a one day gathering in at least one previous year.
I think this is Tim's 1982 GS850GL complete with ORIGINAL rock-hard Dunlop tires, LOL. He's still the only owner.
He scared the wee out of himself at this very rally, in fact, and finally invested in new tires, suspension, etc.
My G850G still wearing the plastic Vetter headlight bucket. Ryan's 550T is pretty dang sweet.
BC 2006:
Galena, IL, October 2006:
Features my VX800 before I crashed in April 2007... sniff.
I've always loved this shot of Painter Dave. Plasterdog is a hell of a photographer.
North Carolina 2005 & 2006:

I already spoke with Brian about this and will provide more information in the coming days but it's been 13 years (this will be our 14th) since Jay started hosting this annual "Thang". I am considering making a thank you gift (GS related mantel clock) for Jay but since I have only attended since 2014, I don't have a lot of good pictures of previous years to include with the gift. Brian already provided me a link to some of his but I'd like to ask for pictures from anyone who has attended the rally since 2009. I will choose one picture for each year to include on the clock and though they don't need to be super high-quality, they may need to be reduced in size depending on the final clock design. If anyone would like to pass some to me, please email them or a good photo hosting site link to my cowboyup3371@yahoo.com address. You can also send me a PM here.
I will start working through the design this week and try to post a couple of ideas for your approval shortly. The design will include the ability for anyone attending the rally in June to sign the back.
One final note, there will not be a cost to anyone as I already have most of the materials, but donations would obviously be welcomed. Please reach out to me if desired.Leave a comment:

Excellent, most excellent. It'll be great to meet you.Originally posted by Rich82GS750TZ View Post
Or if I've already met you and completely forgotten, I apologize in advance... I do that sometimes.
Excellent. And as you well know, we're not organized enough to keep anyone out.Originally posted by Redman View Post
It's weird how things go in waves; some years we were in danger of becoming a Triumph rally, now Yamahas seem to be multiplying.Leave a comment:

Yep, On the calandar.
Son (who has attended a couple time before) is saying he is planning on it, and looks like we have my SonInLaw enticed as well.
And we can all tolerate another Tiger1050 and another FJR.Leave a comment:
