Randakk's 2009 Customer Appreciation International Vintage Honda Rally

Bedford is a great rider's destination in the foothills of southwestern Virginia. Great scenery and roads abound! Easy Interstate access from major population centers.

Typical Backroad near Bedford, VA

New this year:

1. I'm moving to a Fall date for better weather and to allow participation by folks who have other commitments during the summer.

2. Significant reduction in the Registration Fee (35% less than last year).

3. Committing to fill up an entire hotel, so the hotel rate should be very attractive. The group discount I've negotiated is $40 off the hotel room rate per night compared to the normal "high season" rates for the base hotel (the weekend I've selected is the beginning of the spectacular fall foliage season).

4. The location is less "remote" than some in the past, so it should be easier to get to for most of you.

Riding and scenery will still be spectacular! My goal is to make this a very affordable event to attend. I hope to attract a record crowd this year.

Event Details:

I've been very blessed with the growth and success of my business. However, having a web-based business with no retail presence means that I rarely get to meet and enjoy face-to-face interaction with my customers. This annual event allows me to meet many of the great friends I've made in cyber-space!

This will be a low-key, 2 day event primarily for the enjoyment of my customers. Anyone with an interest in the vintage Honda models I support is welcome to register and attend. Registration is via the PAYPAL button below.

I want real running bikes to attend, not "trailer queens." You have plenty of time to finish your restorations and rejuventations, so get busy!

Planned Activities:

Located in the beautiful foothills of southwestern Virginia, Bedford is at the base of the Blue Ridge mountains. Bedford is one of my favorite destinations.

See: http://www.visitbedford.com/ for details on this gem of a town.

Base Hotel:

I have negotiated and reserved a block of 58 rooms starting at the attractive rate of $78.88 per night for regular rooms (some suites are available at higher rate) My "hold" on these rooms will expire on August 17, 2009 so make your plans as early as possible. You must call the hotel yourself to register. Mention this code for the discount: RANDAKK RALLY.

Hotel expenses are your responsibility. Ditto for cancellations and room guarantees.

Important: since Bedford is a "tourist" destination and late September is "high season," if you must cancel your reservation for any reason, you must do so yourself by the cut-off date of August 17, 2009 to avoid the hotel's cancellation charge policy. To clarify: telling me that you're not coming for any reason does not also cancel your hotel reservation. You must do that yourself.

Registration Fee: $22.00 per attendee.

This fee helps calibrate interest, sizing the hotel room commitment as well as the Saturday night banquet. The fee will include a commemorative Randakk's Cycle Shakk T-shirt for all registered attendees. When you pick up your registration materials, you'll also get a coupon for the "meet and greet" social on Friday evening.

Lodging and other meals will be the responsibility of the attendee.

Rally Registration is per attendee and does not include lodging. You must make your own lodging arrangements separately..

To register...click on the PayPal button below.

• Cancellations on or before June 30, 2009

The $22.00 Registration Fee per individual will be refunded (for any reason) if requested by June 30, 2009. Refunds will be processed as PayPal refunds only.

  50% refund of $11.00 will be refunded (for any reason) if requested between July 1 - August 30, 2009). Refunds will be processed as PayPal refunds only.

No Rally Registration Refunds will be made (for any reason) if requested after August 30. 2009.

Note: if you must cancel your registration for any reason, you must also cancel any hotel reservations yourself by the cutoff date of August 17, 2009 to avoid the hotel's cancellation charge policy. To clarify: telling me that you're not coming for any reason does not also cancel your hotel reservation. You must do that yourself.

Other Important Details:

Event details will be documented on this page and updated as appropriate. Thanks for your interest. I hope to see you in Bedford!

Finally, please don't plan to skip the registration detail and just "drop by." If that's your plan, be aware that some activities will be inside. The venue is securing a special area of their parking lot for us to use for this event that will not be accessible unless you've got credentials. Non-registrants will not be eligible for the trophy or other prizes. Non-registrants won't receive the swell T-shirt nor will there be "space at the table" at the banquet on Saturday night.

I hate to be a "heavy" enforcing these rules, but it would not be fair to the people who've registered if I didn't.
