2022 4Winds Rally Photo Album!

Over 185 riders and guests appeared from all four corners of the compass, as our club name suggests, making our 56th annual Four Winds rally another success!  Redbank Valley municipal park popped to life filled with colorful tents, fine machines and the most interesting people.  Making new friends and connecting with old ones from all over the country is the highlight of our year.  The indoor barns were a popular camping spot this year as Thursday night's rain kicked off the weekend with a rainbow arching over the park followed by great weather Fri. and Sat.  Thanks to EVERYONE who helped out in so many large and small ways to make it happen.  This truly was a group effort!  Enjoy our SmugMug photo album here.  Anyone who would like to contribute additional photos may send a message to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Photos from MOA National rally in Springfield, MO

A dozen or so Four Winds riders wound their way to a hot Springfield, MO near the Ozarks' great riding roads for the BMW MOA national rally in June.  David & Greg from Fla. took the long way round, out west, until joing us there, as well as on to Meadows of Dan, VA for the Guzzi rally the weekend after.

We stayed in a variety of motels, air BnBs, and camping, but all enjoyed using the 4 Winds canopy as home base for much needed shade in the club camping section. There was a very good showing of vendors, bike shows, seminars, training and even an indoor GS dirt obstacle arena.  Interesting local attractions included the home base of the Bass Pro Outdoor empire with aquarium and museums, historic Route 66 places, a civil war battlefied, a zoo and cavern tours.

Notice that infamous author Jack Riepe was sporting our 2015 red 4Winds T shirt during his seminars.  He spoke at two of our rallies including his first in-person presentation to a group.
