Okay, I'm game..
This was my first rally. I am the guy perhaps a few of you saw sleeping outside a men's room on Wednesday night, on a wooden bench, because I'm not camping in a field when I see lightening in the air.
I had a pretty good time. I found no problems with the porta-johns. I haven't camped in 20 plus years but I remembered to bring extra toilet paper, although I didn't need it.
I found the traffic manageable.
The folks selling the cantelope and fresh fruit on the road toward the beer tent were great-that was kick-a--- cantelope and it was nice to be able to get fresh fruit at the site.
I never saw so many hi-viz colored jackets in one place. It was refreshing.
So many people had really nice bikes. Harley and cruiser riders chrome their machines-BMW riders electrify them.
My ONLY complaint is this--I was by myself, and I wore my little "#1" pin when I was there. I'm a socialble guy but I guess my only disappointment was that not a lot of people went out of their way to say "hi" or speak to me unless I initiated the conversation. It seemed a lot of you knew one another and I felt like an outsider the whole time I was there. I know there was a lot of cathing up to do among friends but I guess, well I don't know, it was a slight turn-off.
Otherwise, thanks for the good time and thanks to the volunteers who made it all possible.
I guess my dearly departed aunt would remind me to never criticize without offering solutions so here is mine-perhaps at future rallys there could be some sort of a special area in the beer tent or somewhere for first timers or lone riders to socialize with other first time attendees or lone riders, a place where some rally veteran volunteers could talk to us and help break the ice and learn the ropes. Thank you
I've been to three MOA rallies, and this one was the best.
I saw a bunch of 1 pins, but didn't know what they were until I asked someone Saturday night. Maybe if there had been a sign on the vendor row with the 1 on it letting everyone know these were new MOA members, more people would have said something to you.
I just thought the 1 pins indicated that there was now one more group that was excluding me.
now that was the funniest moment of the rally. The look on your SO's faceoh, so THAT is what the girl with the #1 pin who stole my hat at the beer garden, spun me around for a picture, called me a hottie then whispered something unintelligible into my ear.....................all in front of my fiance of 4 hours was up to!
a more serious note:
Were recycling bins provided? I notice earlier this year at that the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg - a dozen beer (can) vendors and no recycleing bins, eventhought that race series promotes/runs on straight ethanol.
