We’ll hoist one (or two) for you, Chuck. Wish you were able to attend, but we understand your priority.
Thanks for everyone's well wishes. I have been to Spearfish what? 12 plus times and to the Reno National air races 25 times on my motorcycles. The most scary part of the ride to Spearfish is the 50 miles of overcrowded interstate from my house to the east side of Coure D'Alene ID. Close calls can happen everywhere. Frosty and I have seen a few together over the years. But after 60 years, we have avoided any really bad days.
18 years after I started riding. A bike trip with a buddy from Illinois to Colorado. circa 1982 . 1981 Virago with factory second Vetter Windjammer. That fairing lasted though this bike and my Yamaha XV920 RH and many years on my 1983 stock Goldwing. My touring gear has been upgraded a bit over 40 plus years....a bike with shaft drive, easy to set screw adjusters and a V twin.
Imagine that.
