The best time of year in the Black Hills is Early June, or in October, the rest of the time it is HOT.

They scheduled it at such a time to have another excuse for liquid refreshment...August is an intense time of the year in many areas...peak heat.

I'd be up for a ride to SD in August probably. I haven't been over there for a few years.

Ofreen , let me know if you are planning a trip to MoaB in the Crown Vic.. lol..

I have been to Sturgis at least 8 times in Aug, usually warm but also can get hail or pretty big rains.
Just do it..

Bankerdanny · « **Reply #1380 on:** October 13, 2017, 03:07:57 PM »

I had originally hoped to swing up to Mount Rushmore on my way to the reunion, but the timing didn't work. I would be interested in meeting in SD next summer.

tlbranth · « **Reply #1381 on:** October 13, 2017, 06:45:19 PM »

Pretty sure my roomie and I will go to the NGW hoedown. They like to schedule it a week after Sturgis so you can mix with the unwashed if you like but if not, the traffic will have died down.

I will Frank, you can ride shotgun. You are right about the weather in August in South Dakota, it can do about anything and probably will. The same can be said for most places in the west. As you say, just do it.

Up to 300,000 people say the weather aint to bad in Sturgis 2nd week of August...
Sturgis is where I almost lost my leg in 82... Year in a cast , then more surgery and do over.
Didnt keep me from going back..

tlbranth · « **Reply #1384 on:** October 15, 2017, 08:01:51 PM »

Well it looks like maybe the NGW group don't really want to have the reunion with another group involved. So bag that idea.

754 · « **Reply #1385 on:** February 06, 2018, 10:31:29 PM »

Alright members, we got some new guys interested.
Might be a good time to start sorting a few destinations.
So far Bonneville for Bike week, end of August, looked like a few would attend..
Let's figure out where we meet this year.

ofreen · « **Reply #1386 on:** February 07, 2018, 04:50:35 AM »

I'm always ready for a ride. Is this the only thread this has been mentioned?

Bankerdanny · « **Reply #1387 on:** February 07, 2018, 10:02:47 AM »

Organize away, but I would start a new thread. Call it SOHC4 Family Reunion 2018.

RAFster122s · « **Reply #1388 on:** February 07, 2018, 01:17:06 PM »

Maybe start " 2018 SOHC4 FAMILY REUNION - West of the Mississippi - Planning"
for a title.
This way if others would want to start another location it could be a location oriented by area of country. What was the furtherest eastern member to take the ride to Dolores? I had to bail for several reasons. Intended to return to school in Sept but that was torpedo'd and when I pulled the rear cover on the CX to swap out the stator for the trip and to get the bike ready to eat 600 miles + a week while attending school I discovered it needed another $250 in parts for cam chain/tensioners and the G8 stator a CX member sold me 18 months ago wasn't for a CX/GL500, too small....he won't reply to PMs and it was $40 lost and I did not want to publicly shame him on list. So, need to forgive and move on, just not forget... could have been an honest mistake, since he will not reply I cannot answer if it was. It looks like one w ould, just 2 inches in diameter too small. Having never been inside a CX/GL motor before earlier this summer I had no clue it was wrong.
(biblically speaking, only commanded " to forgive..." not to become a doormat and forget...just to use added discernment/caution especially if dealing with that person.... enough said re morals or beliefs)
Funding fell through on one of the needed grants and that increase in school costs and n
eed to buy 10k of tools after 6 wks of start of term killed the school idea until I reverse some of those setbacks. (Loan was going to be handling tools, grant other expenses)

Sorry for sidetrack.

My unsolicited $0.05 on the discussion & a suggestion for 2018 Reunion since there have been rumblings of Easterm members wanting to do a get together...
David M in Upper East Tennessee...

Bankerdanny · « **Reply #1389 on:** February 07, 2018, 01:29:22 PM »

I believe that Tennessee was the farthest East anyone came from.

I did ask who would be interested and where they were from when I set up last year's event. I got very few responses from East of the Mississippi.

I would like to have one this year too, although I don't know if my schedule (and cash) will permit another 2 week 4,700 mile trip like I took last year.

I'm going to be in NYC the first weekend in May for a bicycle event and am trying to figure out how to turn it into a motorcycle trip. I originally thought about a trailer to tow behind the bike, but now I am thinking keep it simple and either ship the bicycle out ahead of time or just rent one for the weekend while I am there.

Don R · « **Reply #1390 on:** February 07, 2018, 05:36:09 PM »

I had wondered if an eastern ride could be incorporated into one of the weekends at Valdosta or similar event so the riders and racers could meet up. Just a thought.

I have my race schedule now so I'll be watching to see what shakes out.

Excellent idea Don.

NewBoots · « **Reply #1392 on:** February 08, 2018, 04:52:00 PM »

Sure hope we have one somewhere. I would like to go to either New Mexico, Or Wyoming.

I think we need a 2018nthread with a poll.
Are you interested in trying to go to a meet..
A. West of the Mississipi.
B East of the Mississipi.
C Other area.

NewBoots · « **Reply #1394 on:** February 21, 2018, 08:37:42 AM »

:)It's cold, Ice 'y, and cloudy. I need something to look forward to. Somebody pick a place to ride to this summer.
Bucky

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #1395 on:** February 21, 2018, 11:38:33 AM »

Icy and cold fer sure. 60's couple days ago and -8F this morning.

I'm planning an unrelated ride mid-June to Yellowstone with a few guys.

I'll be at Bonneville last week of August supporting SOHC4 Dennis Old Scrambler's quest to re-take one of his records. May ride there?

I'll be at the Valdosta Manufacturers Cup races in April and November supporting all the SOHC4 guys there.

Anyone is invited to attend these.

I have July open currently.

I love the beautiful western portion of our states but it's isolated for most. I say central US but don't have any good ideas for that. I'm 1000 miles from the Mississippi.

Mooshie · « **Reply #1396 on:** February 21, 2018, 12:01:58 PM »

I'm still putting Dash back together.

should be done by this weekend. He is getting all polished and cleaned up like the tin man and once I replace those pucks (which were the bane of my existence) he will be ready to ride again!
I plan on being in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio area in October but that will be on my Ducati. Don't have a planned ride for Dash as of yet.
Maybe we should start a new thread for 2018 and put in a poll (that was suggested a few posts ago by Frank I think)

754 · « **Reply #1397 on:** February 21, 2018, 12:12:00 PM »

Got to Zero here again last night, too cold for Feb,
Jerry will probably try for at least Bonneville hope a few other members make it.
Been gathering parts for the Slamtracker, hope to have it running by end of summer, but likely won't be on the road.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #1398 on:** February 21, 2018, 12:52:50 PM »

OK then, I like Mooshie's plan of KY.

Land Between the Lakes in western Ky in October. Fall ride. That month is open for me and it's my old stomping ground. Should be a good time to ride there. In the vicinity of I-24 and I-69 aka WKY Pkwy and ~25 miles south of Paducah and ~ 100 miles northish of Nashville.

tlbranth · « **Reply #1399 on:** February 21, 2018, 01:12:13 PM »

I have 2 pretty sizeable trips planned already - Southern California probably in June and Deadwood SD for the Naked Goldwings get-together in mid August. I'm guessing if the SOHC rendezvous isn't fairly close to home, I'd be bagging it this time........but who knows.
