With that said last year's National was held in Arkansas. And although attendance was high, around 250 people, I would say that less than 25% were VBA members. Perhaps the fact that it was a combined rally kept some members from attending. I'm sure there are many reasons. But in this case a more central location wasn't enough to get a strong showing.

Just a thought, why don't we have a split national. It seem people from the east don't want to go west and people from the west don't want to go east and let associate members help with the planning. I seem like it would be to our advantage to utilize the best people for the job with the no how for planning events. Of course they would half to be a couple of weeks apart just in case you wanted to attend both events.

As you go west from me then it is even more time. A California to Lake George trip is pushing 3000 miles one way on the shortest route.

Taking into account accommodation,meals, fuel ect,how does the cost of shipping the bike,and then flying in compare ? Maybe just one way might be worth considering.

Unless you are staying 3+ weeks, fly in and hire a bike.
