Thanks for the update! I have a running list and have just updated it. Looks like since 2000 when I bought my first BMW I have attended 12 and 2022 will be #13 for me. Now that I am retired I no longer need to apply my "1000 mile" rule for attending. Now the farther the better :clap

Dang, I have been to 24... I had no idea it was so many. This year will in all likelihood be my last, only going because of the 50th anniversary. Rallies are getting a bit stale for me, 2015 in Billings MT was the last best one for me, 2017 in SLC was the worst (except for the GS Giants party up in ID ahead of the rally... that was historic!)

2022 is #17 consecutive for me. WV was my 1st at #18 total.
Concur... that Idaho 2017 GSGiant operation was first rate!

The best Rally for me was West Bend as the weather and site were great. But have to day SLC and Great Falls were the most epic for me. I know a lot of folks complained about SLC being hot but it never bothered me, of course I was in a great hotel. But the event and location were great and it was my retirement trip and my first long solo ride. And then Great Falls was killer as I did a true coast to coast from NC to OR. Great memories. My least favorite was probably Lima Ohio although I believe that was the year George Thorogood played which was one of the best entertainers they have had.
 
My first was Missoula in 1984. I missed Moodus in 1994 (new job) and Great Falls in 2021 (blown engine on the way). So that is 35 I think. Voni made it to Moodus so she is at 36.

Although I had been riding BMWs for about 8 years, I hadn't heard of the MOA at that point in time. In 1990, my California office manager bought me two magazine subscriptions for Christmas. :ha

Yep .. .Lima sucksed ,,, hot and dusty but George rocked the house !!

Well, I don't remember dust... the fairgrounds were nicely grassed and shaded. But hey, I stayed in a hotel! :D (I do remember the storm... :eek )

This was the biggest crowd I've seen at an MOA rally concert ever. imo, a high water mark. The pic below shows about ¼ of the crowd...

As seen on Facebook...

Also at Lima... World Peace through adventure riding.*
