2025 Top of the Rockies Rally 7/24/2025 to 7/27/2025
Relax, it's later than you think...
More information here: https://bmwmcc.org/tor/ Another annual FYI by me! Although I have no affiliation whatsoever... 53rd Annual Top O' The Rockies Rally 7/24/2025 to 7/27/2025 When: Thursday - Saturday Where: Paonia Town Park 700 4th Street Paonia, Colorado 81428 UNDER THE SCOREBOARD Looks like they have no shame and jacked up the rally fee to $65 for early registration from $55 last year. Oh well, most goes to a good charity in Paonia..

CkCarr, you'll get to hear what my bike should sound like this year, if I ever get done fiddling.
I'll post a montage of my repair and mods. Ralf, did you get your chicks for free? |

So... Rick and Ralph, What are the odds of you making it out this year after all you've both been through?
Is anyone going...

A few aches and pains but very minor in my hand and my shoulder. I am back to cycling on a regular basis, have put about 1000km’s on Rick’s 12S and did two track days on the redone wreck. I’m really happy with how the crashed bike turned out and how both it and I performed on the track! I even managed to scrape a rocker cover! It's been a long time since I have done that! Cheers

I might just make it a one-week round trip. Not sure yet, but I had a couple of things planned that I still want to check off my bucket list. And since I almost checked myself of the bucket list, I am a little more intent on doing said things.

Sounds like it's winding down for the R1100S contingent.
It was a good run... Almost 20 years.  Weather may be a repeat of this...

I am getting some new titanium suspension bits. Total knee replacement, the week before so Doubting I will be there. Next year may be a possibility though. Just replaced the fuel system on my 2002 prep and she is still a joy to ride. Not getting any younger.

As these bikes are ageless, I think you know the answer.

Unfortunately there are a lot of wildfires erupting out here right now.
Man made disasters of course... You can scroll around with this map... https://app.watchduty.org/i/55281 Old La Sal Black Canyon of the Gunnison Many roads will be closed. Not for certain, but. I think highway 92 will be closed along the Black Canyon and also 46 into Utah and toward La Sal & Moab. **Update** And now, another road that's closed now is highway 141 that goes from Whitewater (Outside Grand Junction) to Gateway.... These are extremely popular roads for the rally riders...

That's a shame. I've ridden out there twice, and that is one of my favorite places in Colorado.
