After riding on the bike for 8 hours, it was nice to get to the hotel, luggage in the room... dinner ready, and fun with the group... in the morning, packed up, left the luggage in the room, they transported it to the next stop... at breakfast and short presentation of the day's riding options and interesting stops... we could follow the guide or do our own thing... They seemed to have great hotels/resorts to stay, it was wonderful fun although on a BMW. As I'm new, I don't know how many people join in... but it has to be a lot of work for someone to figure out where we would end up, arrange all of the accommodations, dining, etc... They may get better rates on rooms, etc...
Again, just a thought. The other thing that may be nice, perhaps Triumph could support rentals for the out of country members to rent for the event. It'd be nice to meet some Aussies.
