I made Sturgis my stomping ground The freak show is at the two campgrounds. Downtown is for admiring bikes And the Hills are for riding in one of the most beautiful places there is. (Spearfish Canyon) (But, I agree, too small an area.) I used to ride in the Rocky Mountains (Denver) and that is an all day, every day ride. Never the same thing twice
I see enuf freaks the way it is.
Enjoy the ride and enjoy life
Ride safe
Dave

That must be a horn how load is that thing luke? it's 132 decibels....you can hear it as far as 5 miles away...provided it's night time, and in a desert,no wind, no rain,no chirping birds. it's a nice horn Luke, I think you misunderstood the meaning of ride like you're invisible. but, you know what he meant. And, I agree on a MUCH LOUDER FUGGIN HORN other than that that 'meep' 'meep' thig we got on these dam scoots. Go to Autozone/CHECKER/OReilly and get a LOUD horn, or two (Hi and low) and munt em right up front. We can't put on straight pipes for a LOUD exhaust, but a HORN could be the answer. Ride safe (and LOUD) my friend Dave

When I was riding my Honda Shadow Sabre, I waved at everyone. 'Most' other riders waved back. When I was on my Goldwing, I waved at everyone, 'Most' waved back (but ALL Goldwing riders waved back)
On my scoot NO ONE gives the sign. (Two fingers down, meaning keep your wheels/rubber on the ground/road)
I had one sport bike guy start to wave (cause the front of my scoot looks like a sport bike) but when he saw it was a scooter, let alone a trike, he quickly put his hand on the bar and speededed up.
As is the way with the entire world. We have gone sooo far to the left, I don't feel we'll ever get back to normal (whatever that is)
Ride safe
Dave And, YES, I ALWAYS wear my helmet, jacket, gloves, but sometimes wear shorts, with my sketchers. Sorry, (Ankle high boots would NOT have saved my leg when I had my accident)

waay to go jvino good for you. you enjoy riding. some people i know doesnt really ride, he just display his scooties with 3wheels. zero miles on the odo lol Luke I KNOW you ain't talking about me. We've had one of the longest, snowiest damn winters we've ever had. But, believe me, once the snow melts (for good), and I get the fluids changed and the tyres balanced, I'll be riding, and looking for reasons to go to the store. I drive my chit, and my 88 Fleetwood, and my Avalons, and the Mustang, and even my 78 VW Bus (once I finger out how to shift with just one leg). So, 'Who you talkin' bout, Louis???" Ride safe my friend Dave

Hey Dave you use that lift yet?,,, i was wondering how it works,,,it's got to lift the trike up with ease,,,and does the trike have reverse? i would think it would ,,,, Unfortunately not yet, as I'm still rearranging the garage to make room to work on the trike, but, yea, says it lifts 300 lbs Yes, it does have reverse, which makes it really easy to back into the garage Have had zero issues with the trike since I got it. Next is balancing the tyres and renew all the fluids. Starts right up, as it's been on the tender and me starting it occasionally thru this long a33 winter More snow last nite, mostly melted today It's time to ride

I watched as many of that series as I could. I was stationed in England in the early 80's, had a 64 Ford Cortina, and just really enjoyed my 4 years there

I did pretty much the same thing, but didn't have snowmobiles back then. We had sleds and toboggans. And drove my 47 ford on the frozen lake Had fires at the outdoor ice rink (they man made a circle with a wall/ridge and flooded it, froze, instant ice rink) Cooled our beer in the snowbank (had to hide it cause we was underage) Winter in South Dakota in the 50's/60's
