MSTA Star Rally 2026

Not to be forgotten is the MSTA Star Rally October 17-21 in Springdale, AR.  This rally is the old Honda Club.  I have gone to a number of these and they are great.  It is not a brand specific rally anymore.  It is well attended and they tend to have the rallies in locations where you and I would want to ride.  While there is some shopping it is mostly about seeing the area.  They have numerous rallies around the US throughout the year.  The timing of this one will be great for fall colors.

They have prepared routes and gps files to follow on your own.  They have group rides with a leader.  There are road, dirt and adventure routes.

With something for everyone you will see families, couples and singles there.  The Banquet at the end is well attended with prizes and a motorcycle raffle. 

Early thoughts and information on the BMW MOA Rally in Vermont

 I am at the early stage of planning for the Rallies this next summer.  I have started looking at the mapping for going to both rallies.  The total mileage looks like around 3500 miles and will be over 2 weeks. There will be a couple of ways it can be reduced in distance.  The biggest is to not go via Duluth but I am building that in so I can make a stop at Aerostich to buy a new riding suit.  When I get the final route down I will post a GPX file that originates in North Carolina.  Clearly I am not planning on traveling the interstates for most of it so I will deal with that on the final route and GPX.

The rough outline of the route is the following:

As part of the research I would suggest that those planning on attending the MOA Rally would find useful information on travel in New England and down the coast.  A great resource that I have used many times.

You might even join the club or throw them a few bucks to support this great resource.
