Be Part of History!!

History In The Making! To commemorate our Historic Move to Atchison, after over 3 decades in Lynn County, the Atchison Chamber of Commerce will hold a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to start the rally at Noon on the 29th of May!! Don't miss it, be part of History!

How's that for community support to our Rally!
 
Be careful if using PayPal for pre-registration.....I didn't pay attention and ended up registering for two riders instead of just myself. I first went to the PP site to see how it was set up but then went back to finish register. When I went back to the PP site to finalize, it automatically bumped up to two, which I didn't see until I finalized the transaction....oh well guess I'll make a donation. :)

I would wager that if they know this happened you could get a refund. Right, Don??

Walt,
You should be getting a confirmation letter from Pay Pal saying that $30 has been refunded.

Make sure to catch me at the rally and say hello

Thank you all!

I would like to thank everyone who invested their time and efforts over the past year to make the "Land of Oz" Rally such a rousing success. It's been an honor to have worked with each and every one of you

Make your plans and stay tuned: There are a whole lot of "NEW AND EXCITING" already in the works for next year!
 
Thanks to all in the Kansas BMW motorcycle club who worked to put on the Land of Oz rally. As a first timer to the rally, I found an atmosphere of genuine friendship generated from the club membership and community of Atchison. What a great way to start out the rally season, and hope to see new found friends at many more rallies around the country this 2015 riding season.....Walt E.
