Lone Star Rally

Galveston is a small island in southeast Texas; along its 32 miles of beaches you can find many fine restaurants, hotels, art galleries, beach shops and a convention center. You will notice the 19th century architecture, the museums and the opera house as you ride through the city. Moody Gardens has a 1.5 million gallon aquarium and tropical rainforest pyramid which is one of the most spectacular sights of our time.
Galveston, Texas plays host to the Lone Star Motorcycle Rally every year in late October, early November. This year it takes place from October 30th through November 2nd. It promises to be the largest Halloween Bash anywhere. The weekend rally will be based on a Halloween and a Pirate theme with treasure hunts and costume parties. If the Lone Star Rally is anything like it was in the years past, it will definitely be an event to remember with over 35,000 expected.
Last year participants had the opportunity to ride in the Biker Halloween Costume Parade and then had the opportunity to attend the Leather and Lace ball. There will be over 60 live concerts, a Ms. Lone Star Rally Pageant and a fashion show. While there and between planed events you can take a deep sea fishing trip or try the casino / auction which benefits the Ronald McDonald House.
This year, the Lone Star Rally is featuring a treasure hunt, where you can pick up clues from any participating vendor and once you think you have enough clues to where the buried treasure is you can take your guess to the Convention Center. The first 10 correct guesses get keys to the treasure chest , if your key fits you win Jean Lafitte's treasure.
The beach Boys are going to have a special concert at Moody Gardens along with an surprise, unnamed guest star. You can also tour the ghost ship, ride in poker runs, watch the Lone Star RV camping show, attend the Fashion Swimwear show or take part in the AMA Gypsy Tours. There will be a death defying bike ride inside a barrel, dolphins at the Baywatch and you are invited to join the Outlaw Dave Ranch Ride to raise money for the Stevens and Pruett Ranch for Children and Animals. If you can't find something fun to do, call an ambulance, you're either in a coma or dead!
For those of you that have the "right stuff" you can design and compete in the best chopper design contest or if you're like the rest of us you can watch it. Don't forget to go to the New Stewart Beach Demo Fleet Park where you can ride all the new models by Harley Davidson, Boss Hoss, Triumph, or Kymco. While there, check out the free live music from two different stages, where you'll get a chance to listen to many of the local bands.
While you are there don't forget to check out the vendors. The old standbys will be there and you'll be able to get all types of accessories, sun glasses, t-shirts, leathers and food... food... food. There will be a new product offered from Time Rider which is Shtuff For Bikers. Don't miss them in the convention center near OCC. The Lone Star Rally in Galveston is the rally you do not want to miss; there will be too much eating, too much partying, too much music, too much riding and way too much fun!
