An observation - This is really a very well coordinated ride.

The folks setting it up are all about riding, not sitting in the motel and chatting about rides taken in the past. If you'd like to attend a well thought out rally with great roads to ride this is one to attend.

Dale:
That sounds like a very nice rally. Do you know how many bikes they are expecting? Is this the first event like this in that area?

Now that sounds like fun time!

I'm going to try to make it for 2 nights and three days. I need to check out tent camping area's near the meet-up.

DennisB

I'd be interested in tent - camping also.

This year will be the 3rd annual.

Last year stats that I could find: 53 folks from 8 states, not sure how many bikes that equates to, but a good crowd for the second year.

Hi Guys, my name is Maggie, I am President of the St. Louis Scooter Club.

Thanks Dale for posting this here, I appreciate it!

I hope I can answer the questions you have.

This will be our third year for HAMS. The first year it was in Columbia, MO, it was a way to connect KC and St. Louis riders. This past summer we moved it to Jefferson City with great success! I think there were 62 riders on the Saturday ride.

This we decided to hold HAMS in St. Louis. We are looking for an even greater turn out.

Dale is right, we like to ride! We are probably one of the most active riding groups in the country. We are super excited to show you all the GREAT twisties on the eastern side of our great state!

Dennis, I have already started researching camp grouns. I found want I would like to confirm via phone tomorrow that is about 4 miles from the hotel.

If I can answer any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Maggie,

Welcome to the site and please feel free to post anything you want to promote your rally. I sure wish I could get back to my neck of the woods, Illinois, and make this. We have quite a few people in the midwest so please give your site address and post as often as you want here. I hope it gets bigger every year. Dale and Dennis B are moderators so it would be cool when they attend to write it up for this site....with pictures of course. I go to your site too to check things out and it is a good site. Best of luck with the 3rd annual rally.

Dennis et al, I checked on camping today:

No tent camping at JB Park. There is at Greensfelder but it is a bit away. Nothing major but let me call about and see if I can find something closer!

Dennis, I haven't forgot about you! Still trying to find the closest place possible for you to camp! Might be my backyard

Jeff, thanks for the warm welcome!

Any one interested in sharing a room??

Bump.

We are still planning to attend. Anyone from the Southeast that is planning to go?

Bill needs a roomie to share costs.

Hey this sounds great. I am only three hours from St louis and checking my schegule found I will be off. Bill I dont know if my wife will be able to go because she may have to work but I will keep it in mind. Also looking forward to meating you others there- Chief Rider

Chief Rider

That's great! Hope to see you in St. Louis next June.

The St. Louis Scooter Club doesn't have a lot of SilverWing riders - let's show out in numbers. We're up to 5 SilverWings now...

Bill,

I'd like to, but am hard pressed to find enough vacation. We'll re-look our plan with an eye toward adding and setting aside a day for a SilverWing ride in the plan. I'm more inclined to putting this on the front end.

BUMP!

Join us in St. Louis for a rally / ride!

SilverWing riders - Show up and show the power!

- BUMP -

Chief Rider - Hope you can make it to St. Louis.

Bill do you have a preference on a day to ride with other SilverWingers? Maybe we could get Maggie to give us a good route. Lets set a day (before or after) and I'll find out about a route.

Fellow Swingers I am counting down also and anything you set up is fine with me. Just send me a PM on days and routes and I will meet up with you to go to St Louis.

If we get in on Wednesday, which Kim and I are planning to do, we can ride Thursday. The schedule of events shows the St. Louis Scooter Club greeting folks at 7:30pm on Thursday.

How's that date for an all SilverWing ride for those planning to attend?

This is a go for me....local and all...
