Vermont BMW MOA Rally

[Mike Motorrad Audio]

Afternoon all!

I just wanted everyone to know that we would be at the BMW MOA Rally next month displaying and installing our products. If you were interested hearing our audio upgrades, seeing the new 7" CarPlay add on, or our Garmin navigation options, let us know! www.motorradaudio.com

Anyone on here going to this Rally? June 11-13, 2026. Essex Junction, Vermont. https://rally.bmwmoa.org/

I have my ticket. Just hoping for good weather, I've done enough rain miles. Probably highway it to Brattleboro then rts 30 to 7. Nice easy roads. It would be good to see a large R18 contingent, really don't see many in the wild.

Dorchester, MA?

Wish I could make it. My dad will be riding there from Missouri

 

[FVallely]

Dorchester MA. Ride your way fairly often looping around the reservoir.

 

[BAD MIKE USA]

I'm thinking of trailering there.

 

[FVallely]

If you're camping probably the smart way to go.

 

[BAD MIKE USA]

Day trip, Friday only! See you there.

Pops hit a big pothole on his 1250RT on the way to the rally from Missouri. Gateway BMW doesn’t have any wheels in stock. Won’t be making the rally.

 

[Star-Lord]

Ugh..!!

I hit a giant pothole on the the NY Thru Way returning from Americade last weekend, with the Model B; I thought for sure, my front wheel was going to have some sort of damage..

Hopefully Dad made it back home safe & sound..

 

[amcbride9]

He did. Bummed about not being able to make the trip, but glad he kept it up-right.

I just got back from the BMW MOA rally in Vermont. I only saw one other rR18 BMW there. I was only there Saturday. The rally is geared more towards the adventure bikes and the long range bikes such as the 1600 and the r1250rts. We still had a good time but I was disappointed I didn't see many of the BMW r18 models.

 

[amcbride9]

I’ve already registered for the Montana rally next June. Looking forward to it.

I would have been (and on the Classic) except for the weather this year. (see my post in the tire thread). Montana is on my calendar, but it's too early to tell if I'll be on my R100, R18, or R1250.

All BMW rally’s are adventure bike rally’s.

My first BMW MOA Rally, nice, but probably my last. I did see Wunderlich's booth with an R18 and many of their accessories on it. Glad I did.

I showed up at the Georgia BMW Group's show on an r1200c - and people looked at me as if I had a 3rd eyeball. But it was still great fun! Some people had never even seen a BMW cruiser before

I got a few looks of "Oh wow! A Cruiser!", accompanied by a thumbs-up during the Barber Vintage Festival (BMW Motorrad Days Americas).

Granted, that's not a BMW Specific festival, but still surprising when someone recognizes an old R1200C.
