Another of our Epic Rides and Derek was one of the reasons. 9 so far. 30,000+ miles. Just glad you offered an open invitation of a stop over the previous 2 years to someone sight unseen. Wish we'd made it to your place year before last but glad we made it last year. The rides have gotten better every year so far. And for next year I do not have a clue. I can't convince Howard to ride to Alaska. Perhaps fly and ride to Alaska or Europe. I can see the wife finally getting pissed off when she finds out we only rode to the airport and my bike only has 120 miles more than when I left 2 weeks prior  ;D  ;)

Derek,

Colorado to Key West via Daytona Biketoberfest begins in 46 days! The way you ride will give you enough time to get here for the start  ;) You in or not! It wouldn't be as much fun without you  :'(  That's probably a 6,000 mile trip for us. You could turn it into a 10,000 trip for you and entertain the troops here greatly!

ps I'll need your address again to get my 2nd clock to you  :)

I still remember my "EPIC" trip to Colorado over 25 years ago.  Just wish I had documented it like Seawed did.

Give it a month or two or three.  It will get there.

Found a few more from the The Full Throttle Saloon ;D







So it was a long night.....I bought some leather renewal wax and started working on my coat.  The power went out so I went back to the booth I bought it, they still had power and proceeded to finish my coat ;D  That's Lorie on my left ;D  I sold a few jars of wax over the next 1 1/2 hours ;)  Always havin fun 8)



Just another Sturgis Bartender






Got a party to go to I'm out of here ;D

P.S. It was a long night with to many beers and to much rain.
This is where I found Jerry and Howard the next morning ;D  They just never made it into the house.




Had to go back and make sure the photos were still there [not photofukt]

Jerry slept in the truck?!

Resurrected.

What truck???? Is that a photoshop? I don't think there is bamboo in South Dakota

Find the one where the big burly bartender lady grabbed Derek, flipped him upside down and dunked him into the ice beer trough!
