CAN I BUY NEW TIRES AT THE RALLY?
If you need tires during the rally, contact Sports City Cyclery. They are extending their regular hours from 24-26 June (Thursday through Saturday) and will be open for tire installations and minor repairs from 8 AM until 5 PM each day. Please remember SCC is a Honda/Kawasaki shop, not a BMW dealer, so they will not have OEM parts in stock. If you know you're going to need a specific service while you're at the Rally, you should endeavor to bring the parts needed with you.

SCC asks that anybody needing tires or service assistance contact them as soon as possible to set up an appointment. Call or use the email address service@sportscitycyclery.com.

I received a Ted Moyer email today advising that Dunlop Tires Will be On-Site for Tire Changes!
News just broke last week that Dunlop is in fact attending the Saddle Up & Ride National Rally. Dunlop will be bringing a full crew and inventory to service BMW MOA members and change tires on-site! Dunlop will be in the outdoor vendor area in front of the Pacific Steel and Recycling Building if you need new rubber for your bike.

I’ve watched the fellow get a guy out of a jam with his knowledge, skills & ability.
It was up at the Hamburg effort.
Just advising for a friend 🤭
 
An Observation…

I’m out touring Colorado and Wyoming this week before the National.
If “just” every GS bike I’ve seen alone arrives in Great Falls….
We’re gonna need a bigger venue!

Absolutely it’s the first time I’ve ever observed the BMW marquee
outnumber the cruiser crowd in this region.

I have a view over I-90, lots of BMWs passing by the past couple of days.
I rode some in the Black Hills today and waved at a bunch more.

Still saw more Cruisers than BMW's though. at least 3-1
 
The Monday projection must have been dead on.
Today’s ride from Red Lodge into Townsend MT
Was at “mostly” below 75 degrees.
And below 55 until about 9am.
Niccccce!
 
Public Safety Volunteers

The “meeting spot” for every shift for our Safety Committee Volunteers
is behind the Rally Information booth and across from First Aid.

Convenient to access and under a shade tree.

The beginning and end of all Volunteer Shifts will be at that location.

We’re Looking forward to seeing all of you, and Thank You in advance for your
Rally participation in this capacity.

John Lang, Knick Knickerbocker, Wayne R Ray
 
Congrats to Ed Apelian!

Ed, congrats on winning one of the Foundation bikes. I'm jealous as heck, but at least when I saw a name I recognized, I had faith that the drawings were for real! I think you'll enjoy an R9T! I know I would!

That was Ed that won? Awesome! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Jack, it was great to see you again. Another rally in the books, me and the Mrs. are exhausted… hitting the hay.

Thank you volunteers and staff for putting on a GREAT rally!
 
Very near Five Thousand.

And it really seemed like half of those arrived at once at noon on Thursday.
