BMW MOA National Rally 2024

Where: Redmond, Oregon

When: June 13th - 15th, 2024

Back on the West Coast this year, the BMW MOA National Rally settles in to its 51st year near the Painted Hills of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. This rally is unique in that it travels to different locations every year, evenly placing the rally destination in one of the three large Western, Central and Eastern zones of the US. So every three years (or so), there's a rally near you. A true rally at heart, this event usually sets up at fair grounds with plenty of family-friendly camping, parking and space for vendors and demo rides. Don't worry, reasonably priced hotels are usually in the area, but book early as they are limited.

This year's entertainment includes a polka-inspired swing/folk band, a local Hawaiian music and dance group, rock-n-roll, southern rock / blues, and classic rock bands as well as a fierce female-dominated rock band that intertwines their music with the fashion industry. Off-site excursions include a stargazing walk, brewery tour and cave tour.

While Sargent Cycle Products has been a loyal and regular exhibitor at the BMW MOA Rally for years, this year Sargent is staying put in Florida but offering a pre-rally promotion. So order early to get set-up!

Sturgis Motorcycle Rally

Where: Sturgis, South Dakota

When: August 2nd - 11th, 2024

Fun fact: The first ever Sturgis Motorcycle Rally was held in 1938 and organized by the town’s motorcycle club called the Jackpine Gypsies who bought and developed large tracks, hill climbs and field areas where the rally would take place.

Bikers from across the country not only get to enjoy one of the many coordinated rides scheduled, but also get the chance to visit multiple national monuments including Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Mountain, and Devil’s Tower all within a day’s ride of Sturgis.
