2025 Brown County GS Rally - June 19 - 22

Save the Dates!

2025 Brown County GS Hooraw:

Thursday, June 19 through Sunday, June 22, 2025.


You know the drill... we'll be based at the palatial Rosemount Motel in Bedford, Indiana, smack bang in the middle of Indiana's most delicious and delectable twisty roads and scenery.

And yeah, this is in Lawrence County, two counties over from Brown County, but never mind all that. There were reasons, good reasons...


As ever:

- Please do NOT call, email, pester, bug, or bother Jay or any of the fine folks running the Rosemount. These days are blocked to all other reservations, and I will handle making the rooming list for the rally.

- Watch this thread. I will email past attendees sometime in March 2025, then announce here when I am ready for additional requests.

- Please start your winter motorcycle projects early... finishing your motorcycle build, maintenance, or modifications at 3am the night before departure has a distinctly poor record of success.

- Please get out and ride a LOT this spring, as early as you can. Setting forth with rusty skills also has a poor record of success.

- Ride whatever you want. We're not organized enough to keep people out or anything. But you'll be considered somewhat cooler than average if you do manage to show up on a GS.

- Ride fast and shift a lot.

Would one be considered even more than somewhat cooler than average, or less cooler than somewhat cooler than average if one showed up on a classic KZ?

It’s anything goes. Last year bunch of Triumphs, including mine, BMWs, Kawis, at least one VStrom, a Yamaha Tracer, a think a Goldwing or 2. But it was nice to see the Suzuki GSes. I’d love to ride mine there, but I really don’t think it’s cut out for the trip. Being my first time meeting most of the folks there, I found no correlation to bike brand and “coolness” of the rider. I do hope that Dale and his GS make a comeback. Speaking of….. how is Dale?. I don’t think we’ve heard from him in a while.

Oh, ok.

I didn't want to not fit in.

No KZ's allowed... You have to ride one of your beautiful GS's!
Ha, I'll probably be taking my Kawasaki.
All brands welcome, but you know that.

This is your first time, nah.......... possibly close to the 20th time, there evidently!

I missed the last two, and before that I'd missed one since my first one in 2004.

I was in Iraq (long story) in 2008. So they let me off the hook for that one.

Ok, I'll try... I know one of you lot will find me a bike!

and someone should remind Nardy.... He's BMW only these days.

My latest... 2022 Tenere 700, the Husky TE610 on the move soon. Trying to find a good home for that one.
