What is your favourite rally & why ? I like activities & silly games on the Saturday, good bands on the night. Some w/ends your spoilt for choice which one to go to. My rally season ended on a damp note. It rained at the WozWolf rally from Friday early evening to late Sunday morning virtually non stop.

Sadly,my 2 all-time favourite rallies no longer exist...Ducati Northern Rally,held in Knaresborough,a town of many pubs and clubs....pub crawl contest always a favourite event...lots of other Italian marques showed up to swell the numbers,i won tug o' war and egg catching on different occasions at this one..happy daze..:)>
 The Big Grin Rally,held at the Black Horse, Seaton Ross,close to Holme On Spalding Moor,another Yorkshire venue,held By Italian Motorcycle Owners Club (IMOC) ...was small,friendly rally ,great pub and campsite.. both places highly recommended as bike friendly...

I've heard of the barfly but know nothing about it. Might be tempted next year.

Well worth the effort,but get in early for tickets, as strict numbers limit,and high demand....it's in July,but keep an eye on their website from start of year for ticket dates...barflysbikers.com

Probably one of the best small campsites around,agreed...and Sam the landlady always treats bikers well,so lots wander there(Lower Lode) all year round just for ride on a day off..:)>

There's probably not many on here that even heard of it but I always liked the Nob Rot Rally which was organised by Griffin MCC back in the early 80s. The badges raised a few eyebrows and it would be a brave soul that wore one down to his local.

I prefer smaller Rallies than big ones like Farmyard

Always love the Rebel Rally near Nottingham, but unfortunately they don't do it anymore. Also the Rock 'n Bike near Chesterfield was ace a few years ago, not been able to go again as I now work too far away, hopefully one day again. Have been on a couple near Selby years ago, very small ones but great location and great laughs

AutumNABDness, only did it once before they lost the venue. Waiting until they manage to get another ground sorted and get it on again. Not a huge rally but not a miniscule one either.

Barflys is the best small rally going the work they put in to make it a great weekend. Also the detail the showers and toilets must be ordered by a female Hot showers clean toilets and both have music playing to keep you occupied lol. Also Bmad in Devon not really a rally but a great weekend to be had. Both the above are run none profitable with all proceeds going to charity.

Have to agree with JP, Barflys is a fab small rally and the added extras you get are noticeable.  Thumbs Up

In my rallying days i loved the East Leeds Lions Rally over easter weekend and the Perverts in Leather Rally. That was a weekend i'll never forget! And the Rock and Blues Rally at Squires in August i think...i dont remember much about them, so they must have been good! Thumbs Up
