The 45th Mini Rally in Sturgis, Michigan is this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'm leaving Friday between 2pm and 4pm and just wondered if any other MSTA members were going?

Not I.
Enjoy!

I'm a member of both of the MOA and RA as well as the local BMW club, but I've never been to any of the national BMW club rallies. I have a more flexible schedule than some people, but still with some limits. I have nothing against any of the BMW club events, but my first priority continues with the MSTA events.

Does someone have to be a BMWOA member to attend?

At the moment I'm recuperating from a bit of asphalt surfing last month.
Normally, it's not that there are conflicts between the MSTA and MOA/RA events every weekend, but only that I don't have unlimited weekends to get out of town. Heavens to Betsy, there is an MOA/RA rally somewhere almost every weekend.

no not at all I got an award at this rally years ago for being the only guy on a KLR! :)
Geoffrey pls. get better soon. Yes there are BMW Rallys but I like you must be selective on which ones I can attend. Most BMW people pitch tents and I'm ok with the Mini Rally and the National but like the ac comforts of Holiday Inn or something similar. Hoping to ride with you at one of the MSTA Rallys sometime.

Re: camping
At this point in my life I'm not sure if I really like sleeping on the ground, ie camping, or if it affords me options I wouldn't otherwise have...maybe both. It gives me the option of extending a trip to Colorado by a couple of weeks for not a lot of $. It also gives me the option of spending the night in a fair number of off-the-beaten-track places...which I really do like. I've always felt most alone in 1) a room full of people I don't know followed closely by 2) being in a motel, or the like, alone. Pitching a tent in a deserted campground doesn't give me that same sense of "aloneness". In that environment I get more of a sense of peacefulness even with the solitude.
I look forward to riding with you as well.
I hope to get my cast off my left hand this coming Wednesday, but if they decide I need a couple of fingers taped together, that will be just about as limiting as the cast. That would be disappointing.

There's also THIS BMW-based rally going on at the same time....
