MMM 2025 RECAP
Another edition of the MOTHER RALLY, AKA MARCH MOTO MADNESS IS IN THE BOOKS!
648 guests enjoyed a fantastic weekend in Tellico Plains.
Thursday
Registration opened at 8:00am to a beautiful day. Demo Rides started at noon.
Riders signed up for the Cherokee Challenge and new this year, the rider’s choice. The Riders Choice is a scavenger hunt. Riders are required to find specific objects and document they found them by taking a photo. Each location carried a “ticket value.” Upon verification riders were presented with a ticket for each point earned; the more tickets the more chances at winning fabulous prizes in the raffle.
Come supper time we enjoyed a Pot Luck featuring some amazing pork tenderloin prepared by our host and some fantastic sides, desserts and more from our riders.
Next year we’ll have prizes for the best protein, sides and desserts.

Friday
Friday brought us another beautiful day with plenty of morning sunshine to warm things up. Vendors in full swing, plenty of riders out and about and Chuck Lambert’s now famous Rooster Strut, featuring a view-spot for a provided lunch. Skymed sponsored a great happy hour before another fantastic meal and Tim James, President of the BackCountry Discovery Routes (BDR) hosted a showing of the SEBDR film in the Gear Shack after dinner, while the band played on in the barn.

Saturday
Saturday is the main event at March Moto Madness. More hot coffee and a delicious hot breakfast to start the day. Demos, Vendors, and rides, rides, rides. Saturday is the day for riders to let their competitive juices flow as they competed for prizes on our famous challenge course and hill climb, sponsored this year by Motul (Results below). Happy hour by Epico Moto during which prizes for the games were awarded to a raucous crowd. A good time was had by all followed by another great meal from Micheal’s Catering and Restaurant. After dinner grand prizes were awarded, Mosko gave away some of their most popular luggage systems and one lucky winner was awarded a trip to Colombia from EPICO MOTO!
