The Davis Motorcycle Rally 2014
This is always the weekend after Labor Day in New Hampton, IA. The city opens the large city park for camping for this event starting 4 pm on Labor Day and a few campers stay all through the week until Sunday at the end of the rally. I usually always set up camp just next to the rocket slide in the center of the main part of the park. Shower/bathroom facilities are just nearby and in a few other places around the park. This link does still show a flyer for last year but they promised to post this year's flyer by next week or the week after. I already received one in the mail for this year. I've been going to this rally since 2003 and missed only 3 years since then. Riders arrive from both coasts and Canada for this event. Many pull popup mc campers, and many also camp out in tents. Camping in the park is $3/night and benefits the local Boy Scouts. There are also many who stay in area motels. It is common to see 3500-4500+ motorcycles here, all makes and models, new and old as well as some very interesting customs. The area just north and east of this site has some fantastic roads to ride and many sights to see. Would love to have a gathering from this group show up and have a line of CTX1300 bikes parked front and center. Posting this now so if there is any interest plans may be made. I usually consider this my last big trip/event of the year. The weather is usually still very nice for camping and riding. I usually pull my camper there but have done the tent thing a few years and will again since I don't have a trailer hookup on the CTX (don't yet know if I will yet). And BTW, this is a mostly family oriented event.
Any questions feel free to ask via private message or in this thread.
