as the title says ,im interested to know what it really is , is it just a camp in field ,with lots of drinking , which is all good :) , but what happens as far as the idea of bikes and getting out to ride is concerned ,so many people attending these do's ,i would think a mass rideout must be beyound the realms of sensible .
any thoughts on this would be great to know ,from someone who just rides all over ,without worrying about mileage
is it just a camp in field ,with lots of drinking
For a very small rally ie <100, yes, but it's the quality that makes the rally. Grand peeps, larf a minute banter, and some decent beer!
Bigger rallys provide more facilities and invite traders.
It's always useful to have a pub nearby; warm, dry, loos, food, and of course
Rideouts are sub-divided according to ability and experience, speed, destination etc.
So there is not a 'mass' rideout, although meetups can be arranged.
I percieve a Rally to be a group of likeminded people-in this instance bikers-Rallying together for the same cause, to eat, drink, chat and enjoy the company of each other.
The rideouts from K.I.S.S Rally last year fractured into 3 groups, a ride to a well known watering hole with further ride, a ride to a bike show and bikerbills marathon into Wales(about 9-10 hours that one)
As to the mass rideout, you can join organsed runs i.e easter egg runs, RTTW..etc..etc which are usually(neccasarily)marshalled/controlled by the area constabulary.
Should actually be a few cherry pies that weekend!!
And no-one has told you what to expect!? Oh my god!!! I'll promise you now, nothing will happen to Claude(just in case you don't recover from the ordeal soon enough)

*thinking of bringing my mum for protection*!!!
WTF Emma...You planning on deodorising us all to death, heard it all now, protecting herself with a roll on deodorant, not quite the same effect as a mace can(and no I don'tmean the stuff in recipes!).
Was invited to the Ogri rally a couple of years ago by a couple of work mates.... before i even had a bike!!.. fookin' awesome do!! Everyone on the same wavelength, no aggro, muchos beer, awesome entertainment, a place to be yourself... not much riding going on but plenty of shiny things to ogle.
Oh, forgot to mention, being a rally virgin, I was forcefully stripped and spent 4 hours looking for my clothes.. apparently its tradition, and who was I to argue? It was very cold though (thats my excuse!) and to be fair, the beer was on the house after that for being such a good sport :) Highly recommended!
