Well, if I had to put a bike on a rack and drive out there; I’d still go. lol. What a fun, safe, secure event with dynomite, respectful, intelligent, freedom loving people. Yeah, I’d want to go; any way I could.
I've been Driving I-29 Regularly the last few days. Bikes are everywhere. Most are on trailers though.
I guess the wild Hog(think Movie) reference was right on. Cross country might be a bit much for those that simply ride from lunch counter to lunch counter.
This picture isn't of my bike but it's just like her.
**McCain plans to maximize on the crowds by providing the opening act at an annual concert that honours American military veterans at the Buffalo Chip campground, his campaign said Sunday. **
Gotta love the whole thing.
Opening act
Honoring american military veterans
Buffalo Chip campground!
LOL! Should be great!

A pretty lady indeed. British motorbikes were quite popular back in the hippie days (1968 was right in the ballpark). My one friend in Colorado had a Norton which he was in love with, literally. He treated that bike better than his girlfriend.

When I bought my bike she was 19 years old but looked like she'd just left the showroom floor. Some guy had her setting in his garage for years and never rode her. When I cleaned her up she shined like a new penny.
Only problem I had with her was that she was a tad big for me. I'm only 5'2 and weighed about 96 lbs when I had her. LOL!
“Cross country might be a bit much for those that simply ride from lunch counter to lunch counter.”
It can also be a bit much for some of us whose butts have seen six-plus decades. My Harley and I have yet to make it to Sturgis - I’m not really crazy about huge crowds of people - but if I do make it before they make me quit riding, it won’t be on a trailer. Problem is, I’m only good for about 300 miles a day anymore.
Flaglady, you ain’t gonna get any younger so stop worrying about it. Just go do it! 8^)
“My ride was a 1968 650 BSA.”
I had a BSA Lightning and a Triumph Bonneville back in the day. The Brit bikes were a lot of fun. I think I may still have some Whitworth tools hiding in the garage someplace.
It would be great to see a half a million Americans cheering him on. I can't wait to read about it on page D12 of the NYTimes.
I had a boyfriend who rode a Triumph Bonneville. Back in 87 he spilled us in the parking lot at a VFW club. LOL!
Seems they had a lot of pot holes in their lot and they filled them with sand. When we rode over one the back end of the bike fish tailed out from under us and we hit the ground in split second. Both of us were setting there going “What the heck?” LOL!
Absolutely dreadful!"
It usually is. Much better beer often comes in bottles. :-)
Lusting after a Triumph Rocket III just now. I'm saving for a house, but missing a lot of fantastic riding weather here- and am bike-less at the moment. :-(

If you had been tortured the way McCain was tortured, for as long as he was tortured, by the people who John Kerry, Jane Fonda, and Obama's pal Bill Ayres supported, you might have problems too.
I hope is was a good trade.
UB, you got it backwards!
You’re supposed to trailer your bike there, not bike your trailer there . . .
I’m justa rebel and I’ll never be any good...:-P
