Activities start at 9:00 AM and finish at 5:00 PM. There will be trophies for people's choice best of show; 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and other entertaining events.

I really do not know what to expect. I will be glad to have what you now have ready to ship and will pass them out until, ..... If there are any left, I'll save them for future events it that is okay. Sounds like we may have some interest in a Natchez Trace run. Will take any leftovers there. Now I have to get out and start selling this to more dealers and shops in the area. Had 100 fliers printed Friday afternoon and will do my best to pass them all out.
More later.

Quote from Deleted user on February 10, 2016, 10:46 pmMike; I was reminded that if your advertise your rally as a USCA event you have to be insured. The BMWMOA carries our insurance. I can't remember what the fee is or who handles the insurance at MOA headquarters but I will research it and get back to you.

This is one reason I decided to have the event at the MS Coast Harley Davidson facility. They tell me that any event held on their property is covered by their insurance. That's why they said they had to check with their insurance carrier to confirm it would cover the "Road Kill Roundup." It is considered a moving competitive event and they wanted to make sure they would be covered. Please let me know what you find out and I will check further on this end.

P.S.
That is why the flier state it is a "possible event'"

Quote from Deleted user on February 10, 2016, 11:45 pmOne last question. Are you charging for the event? If so USCA policy is that members get a reduced rate. The insurance issue seems to be covered.

Quote from Deleted user on February 11, 2016, 3:10 pmHi Mike:
I am new enough to the presidents job that I don't have this all down. My advisor has supplied the material below that explains the requirements for a USCA event. If your event meets these requirements we can approve it as a USCA sanctioned event. It looks like you will still need to have the insurance from BMWMOA. Bob Aldridge is the contact at MOA and the cost is $400. bob@ ialdridges.com is his contact email.
Let me know if you have more questions.The Harley shop’s insurance doesn’t list the USCA as a covered entity. We are open to liability. I don’t really have a pain with this but you should know that we are at risk. The standards for a “USCA rally” are simple. I can’t quote it but the basics are…
-Each region can have one a year
-They must advertise as a USCA rally and offer a $5 USCA member discount [for which the USCA will reimburse]
-They must be insured [for which the USCA will reimburse]
-It must be a family friendly event… no adult material vendors, no wet t-shirt contests, etc.

Looks like the "Road Kill Roundup" is a GO. Have talked with insurance people for Coast Harley-Davidson and USCA. We are going to be covered! Thanks Will for all the support and information on this. I will say that it has turned out to be more, a lot more work than I expected. Hope we have a good enough turnout to make it worthwhile.
See you all (and y'all) on April 2.

Quote from Mike Bodisch on February 22, 2016, 1:28 amNOTICE TO ALL POTENTIAL ENTRYS
To compete in the competition during the First Ever USCA Mississippi Sidecar Ride In/Show/Rally/Event, you must have a sidecar, a monkey and the $10 entry fee. Emphasis here being on the "monkey".
If you cannot drag one down here with you, we can recruit one on site. How can you expect to compete in a Road Kill Roundup without a partner in the tub?
Besides that, we need some good looking monkeys for "Best Looking" competition.
Actually, that competition is totally separate. Guess you could slip in different monkeys for road kill snatching and the good looks contest.Further coordination with the site host, MS Cost Harley-Davidson, indicates things are on track and developing at a fast pace.
They are bringing in a good number of outside venders and expect a good turnout.
Should have a lot of spectators since general admission is "FREE".
Trophies are lined up and you can expect something special there (thank you Stacie at the Busted Wrench Garage).
Baby Girl (also known as BUG for Back Up Girl) and I were out collecting road kill today.
What can I say, there ain't no reverse on either of them rigs and I'm too old to do all the pushing.So, come on down and enjoy some of that famous Mississippi hospitality.
More later.

Mike, are you keeping a notebook FOR NEXT YEAR'S rally? You know, with all your notes and lessons learned about insurance and other critical observations. That would probably help you or the next person so you don't get burned out. My step daughter can't come that weekend but I will be coming near you on the way down like we pm'ed Don't worry about accommodations for me-but thanks for thinking of me. If I can do anything to help just let me know. If nothing else I will bring my camera stuff....

If anyone is interested, I have attached an updated version of the flier we are passing out here in South MS. Getting some really great help from the folks at the Harley shop in Biloxi.
I always get confused on the procedure to attaché files. Hope it works.
