Final plans have not been made but a decision is soon in coming.
I do know we will have 100 Tigers in 2006 !!
TELL me where you would like to see the Ride-In held in 2006.
And would you attend?
I was thinking Jasper again, and yes I am attending. I am willing to try someplace else, but Jasper is almost becoming a tradition. You know the Dragon Raid at the Dragon, Tiger ride in Jasper.
What state is Jasper in?

Exactly.
How about Durango, Colorado. Or maybe Salida, Colorado. Or Tres Ritas, New Mexico.
Really, Have a look at Durango. Not sure where you are coming from but Durango has a lot to offer. It is the anchor of the San Juan mountains in southwest Colorado, and it is an excellent small city to base out of for day trips of all types.
There is a Jasper AL right down the road from me. Being in B'ham AL, that save me from having to put up the tent.......... :D
The Tiger Ride-In has met for the past 2 years in Jasper, ARKANSAS.
It is a terrific location and has a lot to offer. The townsfolks and Chamber have been grand hosts. The roads are twisty; Plenty of sightseeing; And the food will make you look like a Gold Wing 'Daddy' in a week!
But keep bringing some ideas, time is a wasting.
Jasper, AR is ok with me. Although, anyplace has got to be better than the roads around here! Seriously tho, I try to get down to AR to ride once or twice a year and it's always a thrill. But, I'm sure CO has some great stuff too. Just depends on how centralized the meet needs to be. There's some great roads in MO and WI as well. Looking forward to it.

Las Vegas.
i'll go where ever, but i'd vote for jasper ... its SORTA centrally located ... and that roads do frickin rock ....
Have you considered the Black Hills of S.D.?? Great scenery, and twisty roads--both tar and gravel-ghost towns, old gold mines and of course Deadwood.
How about Northern Arizona? like Flagstaff or Sadona? that way us Newbies dont hurt our bum riding so far ( plus my wife wont let me go if it too far from home.) ](*,)
MOAB!

Any state... 8)
Just to weigh in on this. Colorado or one state further east is about all I could get away with. I would do everything possible to get there, but it can't be a two day ride each way... coming from CA.
Maybe we should have 2. a west coast / east coast ride-in?

How about Durango? That is not too far out from LA, or the Bay even, no?
I would ADVISE EVERYONE to go to the Tiger Ride-In

Although not centrally located, I'd like to through out another alternative.
Two Wheels Only--located in the beautiful north Georgia mountains. Awsome mountain riding (street & offroad,I'v participated in numerous dualsport rides in this area covering 300 offroad miles in 2 days) with N.Carolina & Tenn. mountain roads all within the same day of riding (Deals Gap AKA the Dragon anyone ?)
Just another idea !!!!!!

That is a very nice area, isn't it? Ron from TailOfTheDragon.com took us on a nice off-road trip during the last Dragon Raid... Naize!!! :D
Interesting that 300 folks can view this thread and only 11 have comments.
I can add to the list saying that riding Ireland would be a hoot.
But I think riding the 'old world' of Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Albania would be such a scenic and educational venture.
I second Moab for the scenery and great off road trails from easy to hard,but also great paved roads and lots of choices for day trips... or Colorado. Both offer beautiful views and great roads.
Moab....... I wonder if mountain bike cycling legends Julie Futardo and
Ned Overend (sp) still reside there?
