my reply to aquajoe...
...in my experience, they're usually camp-outs in a nice park-type area, or perhaps something like a 4-H grounds, where there might be a few buildings that might be used for informational seminars, or group dining areas. There's often a band, vendors with lots of moto stuff FS, and usually some sort of food available for purchase.
But best of all, there are people...people with rigs you never imagined, people who've done stuff with motorcycles you never imagined, in places you never imagined, people who know more about motorcycles than seems possible...and they'll be happy to share some of that knowledge with you...or demonstrate it by taking one apart right there on the grass and fixing the insides, people who dance like they've just been whacked on the fanny with an electric cattle prod, people whose facial hair is beyond imagination, people with babies ...or dogs...BIG dogs in their sidecars, or little dogs in their tank bags, people with stories about crashes and rides and places that will make you want to go to ALL the rallies over and over.
...There might be beer
Hope that helps...
