Mark your calendars for the 2022 Iowa Pure Stodge Rally.

We received great feedback from last years fall rally dates and location. The Iowa BMW Rally will be held again in Elkader Iowa. We look forward to great riding, the fall weather, fewer bugs, and seeing all our good friends once again.

The following link provides a nice look at what Elkader has to offer.

Elkader has great facilities and plenty of amazing options for riding. There will be plenty of food options, sightseeing and opportunities to meet new and old friends.

The Iowa Rally Gets Published
Of course, you can’t mention this rally without speaking of the late Keith Dempster and how he founded this gathering of BMW enthusiasts on his farm way back in 1976. I still believe Keith coined the phrase “If you build it, they will come” although that has yet to be confirmed.
