I've been an MOA member off and on, for about 5-6 years.
During that time, I've attended Lima and Midland.
Would have attended Charleston, but would have been traveling 300 miles each way with a 9 y/o, and given the bad weather figured that would not be a way to have any father-son bonding. Solo I'd have done it. Shrug.
For me, it gets hashed out almost a year ahead of time. IOW, what else is going on at the time of the MOA rally? How far is it?
If nothing else is going on, and the rally is close, I'll attend.
If lots of good stuff is going on nearby, and the rally is far, it's unlikely I'll be there.
Basically the rally competes with everything else we do during the summer: annual Mensa convention, whitewater kayaking trips, other motorcycle rallies (COG Nat'l and Mid-Ohio Vintage days are events I also like to take in), family vacation, etc. The pie (whether it's a money pie or time pie) is only so big.
I guess I just have too many hobbies to be a year-after-year-chronic-rally-attendee.
