It was another friend of mine and I that were riding the trans wi trail and on memorial weekend. We had actually finished the trail and were on our way back home.

We stopped at Fred Smiths concrete sculpture museum near Phillips Wi for a break and to check it out. While we were there we saw a bike come pulling in the guy jump off the bike run around through the statues jump back on his bike and take off. After seeing the bikes this year I believe that it was MikeH that I saw first. We both laughed and thought it was a but strange but then a second bike came in and did the same thing. Then we knew something was going on. A third bike (black st1300)came into the parking lot and rode around in a couple of circles before stopping. He looked around and I told him that what he was looking for is "over there" pointing in the general direction I seen the others go. He thanked me and on his way back I asked him what was going on and he replied "rally" before heading off again.

When I got home I looked around on Google for anything about it but never found anything. Mostly because I was looking more towards the iron butt for it as everyone we saw was an iron butt. I eventually forgot about it until this winter when the rider itch started coming on. I posted it on advrider and that is when PropForward pointed me towards the light.

Once I found it my one nephew was all for it and then I mentioned it to my other nephew and brother, pretty soon we were all on board.

Unfortunately my friend that originally saw this last year with me had already made vacation plans so he was unable to go.
