New Mexico’s premier Motorcycle event celebrates it’s 36th year providing great rides, exciting entertainment, 5 different poker runs and tours with big cash prizes, bike judging, free meals, chances to win a new Harley and lots of good old fashioned hospitality, Ruidoso style. This year the Rally is hosting the 2005 AMA National Road Riding Convention, and with all of the challenges to motorcycle enthusiasts this is a great opportunity to join the American Motorcycle Association and take part in shaping our future as free riders.

| Every year 35,000 folks fill Ruidoso to capacity cruising on everything from Harleys to Hondas, Victories to Vespas, Nortons to Ninjas, Triumphs to Trikes and they come looking for the same thing…great rides. And Ruidoso always delivers the most interesting terrain and scenery imaginable.
11,000 foot climbs on switchbacks to High Sierra vistas, Chaparral ranch land that stretches out as far as the eye can see, low desert wine country with rows and rows of grapes, pecans and pistachios and one “Old West” historical site after another fill each day with the things keeping us all in leathers and boots.
If you’ve never been to this Rally you owe it to yourself…and your sled!

Every year The Golden Aspen Rally has another great touring band from the day…you remember, back when your scoot leaked oil on your dad’s driveway and the FM radio played only albums. This time one of the all-time greatest bands that ever emerged from the South, 38 Special, will rock the Sacramento Mountains. This is not one of those comeback shows, this is the real thing with front man Donny Van Zandt and the band taking it all to the next level with a raw and muscular sound. On the heels of their latest studio effort, Drivetrain, they’re as powerful as ever performing shows which leave audiences exhausted. 38 Special delivers an open throttle sound with an attitude you don’t want to miss!
