2016 Nat'l Rally July 14 - 17 in Hamburg NY

Ok, so it' new years day and things around here are pretty quite so I get on the phone and start looking for a motel room in Hamburg for the National...................
I've got the list in the ON in front of me.

I'm not surprised to find the first couple/three places sold out.

I call the Motel 6, 2.7 miles from the Fairground. They got rooms! $108 a night! (tonight rate $59.00)
I call the Red Carpet Inn, they have rooms but haven't set a rate yet. Call back after the 20th
I call the Econolodge, they have rooms $98.00 (tonight rate $60)
I call the Red Roof, sold out
I call the Best Western. They have rooms $99.00 Thurs, $111.00 Friday & Saturday

Booked the Best Western, they have a pool!

I'm slumming at the Motel 6, but got the rooms at 68 per night including the taxes. I won't be surprise if I find bed bug heaven.

Dude, did you look at the reviews on Trip Advisor for the Motel 6?
I don't think I'd stay there at any price.

Hate to say but I haven't found price to be a factor in good accommodations. First hand knowledge relating to pride of ownership or management is the deciding factor for me.
First hand knowledge seems to be increasingly hard to find. Having people post positive experiences at the rate they post negative experiences would give (me at least) a better perspective on hired services.

There are even some 'upper-level' bed bugs that refuse to stay there! :dance


Tom Bodet can turn the light off any time now.
 
Helping out

Hello,

I am looking to help out at this years Rally. Also I want to look at vendor space. Who are the chairs? Can PM me if you like...
 
I'm usually the last one to bitch and moan about any event organized by volunteers...............

But I can't believe how SLOW information about this years National is coming out!

Just got to wonder what's up?

I think the information flow on the national is on par.
 
DAS Rally

Greetings and Happy New Year to our MOA family members and friends.

The year of DAS Rally in Hamburg, NY has arrived! Plans are moving along well. Information about the Rally will be up on the website in the very near future, so watch for registration to be opening soon. Upcoming issues of Owners News and this web site will keep you up to date on planned tours, events, and things to see and do, along with great rides to, from and around Hamburg.

As your Rally Chairs, we want to let you know that we couldn’t be more excited about this year’s event. The venue is simply magical. Tenters and RVers will enjoy the level grassy, tree lined camping areas. There is an outstanding GS Giant event area. Rally Central will be an awesome place to hang out with friends.

Please include DAS Rally as part of your summer riding plans……..who knows, you may be helping to set a new attendance record.
