Huntsville is a really nice place... They have lots of room for plenty of people.
Putting together "annual ride in" to the Huntsville Polaris Slingshot facility.

How about spring break? Some of us have jobs...
This would be so awesome though!

We have no time for you working stiffs to impede our retirement fun at all !! On the other hand spring break & hooters is an outstanding argument in your favor

How about mid September to replace the Lake George event? Post Labor Day rates a bonus for those on a fixed income .

Earlier timeframe is also a better chance at decent weather. Depends on what kind of event--if simple with a factory tour and a group ride to another attraction, no reason it couldn't be done in short timeframe. If more detailed get together desired suggest the following.
* tie it into Maggie Valley (300 miles)--before or after
* let someone with past experience and success set it up like Ivor. -
This idea reminds me of the "good old days" when Honda had the "Homecoming Event" at the factory in Marysville, Oh. which was a great event that was done in the summer months. I am looking forward to more info...if I can be of any help, just let me know, I am just down the road from H-ville, in Hayden, Al.

I'm good for April or May except for the dates of 22 April - 29 April, have a Submarine Reunion in Panama City Beach Fl. Also don't forget that the end of May is Maggie Valley. But I do think those are the best months for riding with some great weather. @rabtech this is going to be so awesome, and if I can help let me know... Thanks for setting this up.

For shits & giggles I just punched some dates into TripAdvisor Huntsville Al for some random dates in early April. The hotel deals are ridiculously low for that time from and many with awesome reviews.
The Clarion which I have stayed at in other cites is rated 4.5 stars, 523 Reviews and #6 out of 53 Hotels in Huntsville, is only $67 a night..

What a great idea. Sept or Oct has great weather, in the south. However with school and winter coming to the northern riders they would be challanged. Spring would be better, but school is a problem. (I mention school as parents would have conflicts).
Hoping for over 500 on the first event can be asking for trouble. Remember you will be herding cats. Group rides with over 50 people may require "parade permits and licenses"! Rides to great destinations, such as Lynchburg, would have to spread out over the event weekend. Due to the number of attendees.
RAB, as you can see the more people the more issues. Remember where we met the first time.

Good points on the size and scope issues...maybe forward this interest to Polaris marketing and see if they are interested in running the event. From a marketing perspective this is a golden opportunity and comparatively inexpensive compared to ROI on most marketing endeavors.

@KZ1 you are correct.... These are some of the challenges that a ride in would have for sure...
I have several hurdles to work out for this to be effective.
April seems to be the favorite month.... One thing for sure is that it wont be this year... To much going on for sure....
@MACAWS is going to do the planning and logistics. I will let him and Spencer work with everyone on getting things laid out.....
My main goal by this thread was just to get a timeframe that this could happen.

The Jack Daniels Distillery....................Interesting.

And the Jack Daniels tour is very interesting. Especially the samples.

It's just a good ride from Huntsville to Lynchburg. And also to Little River Canyon.

That sounds great any time is good for me
