Hi John. I'm so excited for you and all the adventures that lay ahead! I haven't been as active in some of the rallies but I will help as much as I can and if need be, refer you to others who may be able to answer your questions better.
The thread of mine that you replied to was actually posted in 2012 so that was a few years ago. As far as the Single, Solo, Free Wheelers go, they usually try to meet up at the biggest WBCCI rally of the year, which is the International Rally and this year it is going to be held in Salem, Oregon June 23, 2018 thru June 30, 2018. I'm not sure if the Free Wheelers have a pre-rally get-together planned but I will see if I can find out. I don't believe Barbara Carney is the contact person anymore so I will find out that too.
It's about midnight here so I'm signing out. I will find info for you by the end of Sunday night, the 15th. Take care and thanks for being so patient.
