What does it cost to attend the Rally?

Registration at the event is $35 for members and $50 for non-members. However you can save money by registering early as follows:

Hint: as a CVMG member, you can save money by adding your spouse as an Associate member for just 5 dollars a year, which saves money for this registration.

Looks like the Day Pass is cheaper.  Why not just get that?

If you are coming to see the bikes during daylight hours and don't want to bring in a vehicle, sell stuff, camp overnight or participate in any of the activities, then a day pass is perfect
