MS Get-Together

How about a rolling rally up the Natches Trace Parkway. A two state rally coordinated with Tennessee. BBQs at both ends. Tennessee riders start in Nashville and head south as your riders head north. Could have a midpoint get together with both groups staying for the night in the same spot. There are a couple Ural riders I have talked about riding the trace maybe this summer. Could be fun.

sounds like a great ride. I am down in Louisiana outside of baton rouge. I have ridden the trace a few times and found it to be just right for the easy going sidecar ride. I have 4 cabins on my place that I would like to invite sidecar riders to use if they are in the area. I am between baton rouge and Hammond with lots of good roads in the area to ride. no charge for sidecar guest.

Something along the lines of the old Butterfly rallies. Maybe Tom Hanson can come up with ideas.

All Who Replied:

This sounds like a great idea. I would like to do it personally.

Right now, I am trying to organize the First Ever USCA Mississippi Sidecar rally. I am shooting for April 02, if I can get it together by then. Don't think I can handle coordinating two events at once. This is new to me and I don't know what to expect with the MS rally.

However, please let's keep this Natchez Trace idea alive.

Thanks,
Mike in MS

I am in northern Alabama about two hours by Ural to the Tennessee end point near Nashville but would love to do a ride like this with other sidecar owners. I love my two wheel friends but am always going alone on sidecar trips. Go figure lol, at least I have room for the camping great.

I am about 170 miles (east) from the southern end of the Trace at Natchez. Have driven sections of it but never the entire route. All in one trip would be a great experience. Can you all wait until after early April?

Yep, after the end of the school year would work better for me as there is a certain 12 year old that would want to go wth me. Also, I figure getting back home on a Ural from Natchez, MS is a trip in itself. I need to send the Ural guys a note about your 2 April plans as they are both down your way. One of them just bought a new Ural, the other is helping him learn. They both might join you.

Posted a notice on Soviet Steeds rally link.

Hope it helps generate interests. Also posted a separate note to the guy who just bought a Ural.

Hi Guys:
Someone on this thread has suggested some sort of prize - that being a membership to USCA. I would be glad to provide that prize but I need to know who to send it to. Would this be a drawing or poker run or what would be nature of the reason for the prize/

Will, I did it. Just firmed up the date today. We will have a USCA event in Biloxi, MS on April 2, 2016. Got some good stuff working. Back home tomorrow evening. Will give more detail. Typing on this phone is a pain.

I wish I could make the ride over for that, haven't seen rallies in Alabama yet. I have to be in Ohio for my niece's confirmation Aoril 1st and I just don't think my Ural can make that run to Mississippi that fast lol

Great idea ! I'll meet up in Tenessee. Keep us posted.

Cool......it would be great to get a small group of sidecarists to head south while Mike gets a group to head north. From what I have read....the Natchez Trace Parkway is great for sidecars....more rolling hills and some twisties in the Tennessee section and more flat in the south....

Hi Mike:
I have come up with a gift certificate. I will send it to you as soon as I do some refining. I will send it to you at the address you provided in the first post of this tread.
