Anyone riding down to the ROT Rally in Austin on friday? I will leaving SE FTW about 6pm. Let me know if you want to ride.

I am riding down Fri morning, but have a question. Is the rally a CHL legal gathering??

I'll be there Thursday and carrying. I'll try to post if I see anything. Late night I'll be putting up the piece cause I'm going bar hopping. Not getting drunk but I'll be in places I know for a fact I can't carry in. I doubt the grounds will be off limits.

I'll try to ask on rotrally.com as they also have a forum.

I went last year and there are a few places posted, then there are the bars but most of it is okay to carry. Just look close for 30.06 signs.

I doubt the grounds will be off limits.

I think the Travis County Expo center is gov't property so it can't be posted 30.06

It can be posted and has been posted for other events. You just can't be successfully prosecuted for carrying there.

That event is crazy, especially at night on the expo grounds.

I'm not going to be in Austin then so I guess it's a moot point, but what's ROT? Did they drop the C off ROTC?

Just saw a post on my Facebook that a friend of mine and a coworker is getting ready for R.O.T. so if any of you that are going and run across a retired Marine Gunny Sargent from Paris.... I would say give a kick in the pants, but after being on this board for awhile you guys and gals would probably do it.... so just say hello to him....

The last few years I know for sure there have been no 30.06 signs posted on the Expo grounds.
Carry away. Now....6th St establishments (depending 30.06/51%) another story.

Thanks for the reminder to be somewhere else.

Not everyone who goes to ROT is there to drink or be stupid. I can't go this year. But, in the past
we've just enjoyed the countryside rides available nearby, tried to hit as many BBQ places as possible, and
had fun watching the "parade" roll into town on Friday evening. Seeing all the different bikes
is interesting too. If you are into motorcycles, paint & body work and/or custom machines.
ROT rolls into, and out of town every year. Leaving a considerable amount of $$$ behind to local
merchants, restaurants and bars/clubs (not to mention the ROT charity cause).
Stay home and watch TV. Those biker type people are a scary bunch.

we're heading into Round Rock tomorrow for something else. I am excited about the ROT rally being in town! we'll pull over before we get into town and drop the roof! I want to hear the bikes! My husband will be hitting the bike shops while I'm doing my thing.

Was around the entire grounds and I did not see 30.06 or 51% signs. Carry away. If there are any they are not conspicuous.

I saw where Austin got hit pretty hard by storms last night. For those going, watch the sky as much as you watch the bikes.

Wish I could have gone this year but having to work.
