look out!!!
Just checking to see if there is any chance to reignite that idea of "posses along the way" .... sort of an idea where BMW riders might be staying enroute to Great Falls. I thought that was a GREAT idea but I know it kind of went sideways. (like the movie)
"The Posse Man"... Ian to the bat phone please.
There is a completed article sitting somewhere in the MOA cloud that has the final article, many photos and a complete listing of all the places that people could meet up on the way to the rally. Ideally this content could also appear on our web site, since it’s full of links to locations and maps.
Interestingly, I traveled out west this past June trailering two motos behind my Sprinter, checked out a lot of these places, found several *exceptional* new ones along with some incredible roads. Updated the spreadsheet containing locations, waypoints, routes.... rode throughout the Teddy Roosevelt National Park, the Big Horn Mountains, Beartooth in both directions, Chief Joseph, a private 6am tour of Yellowstone, a lot of Montana, Hells Canyon, the Lolo Pass (twice), Custer, Nebraska... wore out two sets of moto tires!
Oh, and the spreadsheet is *updated!* the whole thing is ready to go.
Shot a lot of riding video, cut a couple of hilarious spots that could go on social media (but I don’t want to pay the stock video and music fees, so they’re watermarked).
But nobody in the MOA PTB has asked about what was done for last year, and it looks like we are doing a Grand Tour concept instead.
So, I guess the Posse is dead.

Ps -> if anyone is interested in my spreadsheet, please PM me and I will e-mail you a copy. A couple of those excellent new places that were found will require early reservations.
Pps -> It was very cool to meet fellow member and forum buddy Rich out in the middle of nowhere, North Dakota...
