Reno
V-Strom Gathering
2007
"Camaraderie And Fun"
(it is that simple)
May 31; June 1, 2, 3
Reno/Tahoe Nevada USA

 
General Overview:
THANK YOU to the over 100 people who participated last year.  It was a huge success. 

We received great feedback, and making new friends and riding partners was what we heard the most.  Hence, this year's theme:  Camaraderie and Fun

This year there will be some changes for the better -and you are encouraged to take the lead on any good thoughts that you may have to make 2007 a great success.
The biggest changes for this year?:  Pre-Gathering "meet-ups" on Thursday in strategic spots.  We think this is a great way to share the fun and meet other folks.  Another change is more attention to camping options as well as more visibility to the dirt riding options.

We will have just enough organization to help enable people to make the most of what they each want to do. Anyone who was part of 2006 knows that this will be a diverse group!      Most all want to learn about the Strom and get ideas. Many are coming with the throttle wide-open looking to ride hard, many want some dirt and many want casual riding and enjoy the beautiful local scenery.   There will be something for everyone.

But really, it is about showing up if you want, and riding if you want. It is that simple.

  EVENTS
    Pre-Gathering Locations: -
A whole new twist and different from last year, this will be done in four spots to encourage comradery and new friends.  Pick the spot that best suits you.  A great chance to meet and ride with other folks.
North:   Klamath Falls Oregon
South:  Sonora California
East:  Ely Nevada (Ride there with the Noble Quest posse!)
...and of course f... we'll have a Thursday meet-up in Reno as well.

Friday Night --Boomtown Hotel
-Buffer style dinner 
-Adventure Moto Stuff will be demonstrating their stuff and doing a raffle. 
-Julian Whaley will be giving an overview of his amazing UCC ride on a V-strom. 
Perhaps other things and of course socializing etc. No host bar at 6:00p and food available somewhere around 7:00p. So, this may affect the arrival plans of some ...factor these times in if you wish to participate Friday night. 


  Saturday Night Dinner/Presentations :
-We are now doing and OUTSIDE BBQ at Crystal Peak Park a park near Boomtown. Just a few minute ride via back roads. This is going to be casual, ...in fact so casual that there are not enough picnic tables to seat everyone at one time ...so everyone's understanding and courtesy is appreciated. This will most likely be BYOB, ..but all details have yet to be worked out. Never to early to start letting mother nature know that we want good weather. 
 

We'll also have others who have volunteered some great and interesting products and expertise.  Those who have done unique, fun or interesting things with the Strom -or have knowledge that will be helpful to others -don't be shy!


Sunday
Some morning riding ..many guys teaming up to start the ride home.   Last year many stayed and we set up a casual Sunday dinner that was much fun.
RIDING
At the forefront: 
This is a "ride your own ride" gathering.

Hence,  no one is obligated to anything and everyone is expected to ride within their limits.  We're moving away from the heavy riding  focus of last year and instead letting everyone do what works best for them.

For those who want to ride with other folks, you will find lots of great company and make new friends.  Like last year, we'll make Adventure Moto Stuff the mid-day  Friday destination. 

Saturday was a big ride day for nearly everyone last year.  The link below has last years rides, which may be of help for those looking for ideas.

Ifif you have a ride that you'll be doing and are excited about it  -invite others along. 

Rumor is that Bareman is heading over to LaPorte Rd (near Quincy) to ride that area ...and of course for those with a honed throttle this promises to be some serious riding. (image)

We also plan to do some "how to's" on basic dirt riding skills/techniques as well as more organized dirt rides.  More info on this and more coming soon!

Whatever you choose to do, ride the best route and pace for you.  Have fun and pick some like-minded riding buddies.   With the new schedule, you'll have good opportunity to find these folks.

Last Year's Map Packet.
 

Plan on abundant details on the above in the coming weeks.
