All places are booked the closest I could find was in Madras. I thought one night in the area then back to the coast. I am sure others will need a place too. If we only have one room between all of us, then it will be a very cosy IBC2010 .

I have a motel reservation in Bend for the weekend just in case but was thinking of a day trip, as well. I'm headed over the third week of May for business and thought I might scout out an off site meeting place. Meeting folks would be my only reason to go to the rally. I'd be interested in a day ride over with the gang. The week following the rally will bring the Cascade Classic bicycle racers and another bicycle event. I may be going back over to work as a motorcycle mounted road marshall for those events. Guess I should get off my duff and finalize things. Interestingly, I was thinking along the same lines.

I know many will be in and around Redmond, OR . I am not going to partake in any BMW MOA functions and since I do not have a Beemer or come in a truck I won't be snubbed. I was hoping to meet up with a few of you and esp those living around Albany/Corvallis . If things work out I should be there late Saturday, or I will arrive a day earlier on Friday. I could stay in Corvallis and ride out with the Oregon contingent and stay a day or so depending upon group wishes. so Richard, whether in Redmond, or Corvallis it would be good to meet you and I am wondering if I should purchase all my farkles now and send them to Stacy's place for installation !

Stacy promised me a beer so I have to stop in there. :-) Note to RichardM: I went to the MOA Rally in Johnson City, TN without a bike. It was NOT pleasant! I'm an MOA member just like all the others, and I even had a bike on my truck which belonged to someone else, but I received less than a hospitable reception and treatment. I was yelled at, cussed, fingered, and all because I was driving a truck around the location to get back and forth from town. I will never attend another BMW MOA Rally.

I'd love to get some blogging tips from the pros! :-) I may just have to check with the hubby now that he has his moto running again. :-) We like Oregon. His daughter (who lives with us now) graduated from OSU. I would like to attend either the MOA or the IBC2010!

I wonder if we could get MTAJudy to coordinate this; I'm thinking she's the go-to girl for organizing. I'll pass your blog along to her, Stacy, and I'll give her a call this week to discuss. There are other bloggers/tweeters from Cali that are planning on coming up. We'll be there on Thursday, I believe, and probably turning around on Saturday and coming home. But maybe not… it could be too much fun! :-) I love the IBC2010 idea! I wonder if we could get MTAJudy to coordinate this; I’m thinking she’s the go-to girl for organizing.

I also think it would be cool to have a meet and greet in Corvallis and then all of us ride to the rally together. I am not into large crowds for long periods of time so I'm with Stacy, Stacey and Bobskoot to only be at the rally for an overnight (either Friday night or Saturday night). I am not committed yet, but it wouldn't take much to twist my arm. Looking forward to working out the details and I will stay posted.
