Join us in beautiful Kelowna BC the weekend of July 17-19 for the Rally In the Ear, the Okanagan's fourth annual scooter rally. Kelowna is one of Canada's most popular summer tourist destinations and we are expecting a large turnout. The Okanagan Valley is famous for its fruit, wine, and beaches, and we have some great lakeside, vineyard, and orchard rides planned. Enjoy a winery tour and tasting, barbeque on the beach, pub night, gymkana, and much more.
