25,000 is the number they said on the news. I figured with Antifa there they would start something.

I did not go Dave, I thought about it, but wife can barely get around, having to keep a watchful eye on her mostly all day and night right now. It was all over the news today, it was a peaceful turnout I heard some numbers but not near what they expected. Heard about 25,000 on local news while ago. Only one arrest at rally, a woman who had a facemask on , they asked her to remove it several times and she refused so they arrested her. There were people there from Arizona, florida, and many other states.

It sounds like the event went pretty much scuffle free. I figured VT might go though!

On a (side note), we are all hoping VT avoided getting involved in the Virginia demonstrations planned for this week. Would not be a good idea.

I stay out at Ellsworth AFB. I don`t sleep on the ground anymore! LOL

VT, I was there for the 75th. Stayed at the Days End Campground right in Sturgis. Never even tried to go to the Chip heard that side was a mess.
Anyway that trip will be the last for me sleeping on the ground. If we go we will be RVing it and staying somewhere that will allow dogs. I stayed at the Shadetree Campground one year and it was real nice. Out of town a ways but still had Da Bus service.

Freewilly , if you are thinking about going to Sturgis, you might want to rethink that if you intend to go this year. It is the 80th Anniversary. I was there for the 75th anniversary and for me it was not pretty or enjoyable. Over 1.2 million bikers in there over the two weeks. You could painfully and slowly move around in the campground and downtown. It took me 45 minutes to an hour just to get out of the buffalo chip in the morning. I don`t know if I will go out there again or not, but I just hate all that traffic on a special anniversary year. Harleys weren`t designed to sit in all that traffic like that, not to mention the strain on yourself, legs, hands, holding bike up and clutching in and out every few feet.

Moscooter most of my riding is just like yours, a nice daytrip sightseing or a short beer run. I like that, works out well because we moved and I don`t know anyone around here that would ride with me anyway.

We are planning overnighters to Jackson Hot Springs and Virginia City this summer and if I get busy on our motorhome another trip to Sturgis would be nice.

Bikes here don`t need to be inspected and they get permanent tags so once they`re paid for there`s not much expense other than maintenance.

Yeah, well I`ve let mine expire also a few yrs ago. But now, you gotta have the inspection done within 90 days before the registration expires or you cannot get a new registration.

So now if you are not inspected and re-registered on time, they add a penalty fine to your new registration.

So, being as mine is due in February and I`ll be headed to Florida for two or more weeks during Febr. I gotta try to catch a half way warm and decent weather day to get it inspected on time before we leave.

Moscooter, I let my inspection expire on my roadglide, I rode it to my meeting last sunday morning and discovered the inspection sticker had ran out two months ago prior to hunting season. I had ridden it two times since the first of November.

1/18/2020 4:51:18 PM

Well, Here we are in the early Spring time again. My bike is again due for its annual inspection so that I can renew the registration.

Pretty well thinkin` this will be the last time I do it. Don`t have any local buddies to ride with anymore. McG quit several years ago and I think Geo is ready to sell his if he hasn`t already, plus even if not, he comes up with excused about his bad back or whatever......so that he turns down my offers to go for an extended ride.

For the last few years, my limited riding has been a trip out into the country (by myself) and then back home and/or a trek to Poos or another bar in Little River and then back home again.

For the limited riding I get done, the taxes and insurance are just getting wasted. So, sadly enough, I will later this year try to rid myself of most all of my gear and the bike itself.

I don`t even have one of them carry-around things.

Glad you liked it.

1/16/2020 4:41:35 PM

Where at, Brian? I need to take a trip back to Seattle for a visit.

1/16/2020 4:35:22 PM

Now that is just too funny. I’m going to be sharing this one
