What the hell is wrong with Tijuana?
get out your anonymous book and notice Du Quoin, Illinois was the rally site a few years ago.
Come on, the riding in S. Illinois, no matter how great I think it is, is nothing compared to Wyoming.
I made an effort to visit Gillette a few weeks ago just to decide if it works for me -and it doesn't.It'll work for some,not for others.There will be other Nationals to attend that are more appealing.
Cute. Trolling for trouble?Greenwald, Why did you post this thread?

MOA members have a legitimate interest in that newspaper article. I see no need for a forum moderator to belittle a club member just because the article casts a negative light on the location of a rally. If you don't like the news, don't read it.
In the meantime, I suggest you take a chill pill instead of baiting club members.

"It has cleaner water than Gillette. "
Your talking from experience or just out of the corner of your mouth like everyone else who has decided to beat up on the 08 rally?
I'm not even defending Gillette, it is what it is, a small WY town with the SAME problems as other small western towns. What I am defending (and sometimes ask myself why) is the rally.
The 08 rally could be set for anytown USA and it wouldn't matter. The rally is a place in your mind, married to a dot on the map where you go to experience the Nirvana of BMW motorcycle brother and sisterhood.
I defend, because I see half truths, inuendos, total outright fabrications tearing up, influencing people who otherwise would of come and experience what good Wyoming could offer; and Wyoming is a beautiful state, be it starting 30 miles out of Gillette, it's worth it, I know, I speak from living 40 plus years just catty corner from this exact spot!
If you speak, Big D, Officer Greenwald and other naysayers, speak in truths, in experiences, THAT ARE actual opinions. Half truths, and spin for sake of spin are nothing more than shouting "fire" in the crowded theatre of life. There is no fire here. If you speak true opinions, your not going to have any trouble with me.

but I'll bore those who have read it once again.
I flew to Gillette a few weeks ago just to see how bad/good it is.Spent an entire day and night and was not impressed.So I cancelled my reservations and will wait for a more appealing location for a National.The National is far more to me than a place in my mind-it's a destination.Those of us who share our opinions,whether pro or con,are the ones who help those who cannot/have not visited Gillette before.I for 1 appreciate an oppsing view as it allowed me to make that trip and decide,firsthand,that Gillette isn't for me.
As someine said earlier,the motto might read,"Gillette,it's not for everyone".
Someone mentioned Du Quoin earlier.It was my 1st and only National.I didn't camp but had a great time.There were trees and shade and everything I thought conducive to a nice rally.
When I attend a rally,I will spend the vast majority of my time on the rally grounds,which must be appealing to me.I'll do my exploring both before and after the rally.
So in my opinion,seen firsthand,there are no half truths or innuendo regarding Gillette,on my part.

Hope to see you at one somewhere down the road.
Nope, and honestly, John? I have no problem with you. We both came, we both saw, and have differing opinions of next year's rally. end of stoy. I will go, and I will drink the water.
