I was surfing videos on Honda Valkyries on YouTube and found this video. Maybe some of you would recognize some of the riders and bikes from Inzane 2017. I haven't been to an Inzane but will if they ever decide to have one near by. Getting older and riding to Iowa this year would be out of the question.

I was there but, they wouldn't let a trike compete. The event I really wanted was the slow roll, felt confident I could do that one on the trike.  Rams |

Rams Me too, maybe we could make them change the rules on the slow roll event. We could time it so it's a dead heat and we could share the trophy.  DragonRdr, getting older...yes, we all are. But I'll still do it on the trike or bike if attending alone. |

But right now I'm the primary caregiver for my wife who has multiple health problems. It was hard selling her bike last year, but she agreed it was better to let someone else enjoy it instead of letting it sit in the garage. I'm hoping she's still well enough this spring and summer and able to ride with me on the Goldwing or Valkyrie for short rides. We just have to take it one day at a time.  |

I'm well aware of what it takes to be a caregiver, I was one to my wife for most of the last 7-8 years of her life and the bike just sat. The last five years of so I did everything, including cleaning her after the bathroom. No end to what you can do for someone you love. Her three kids were pretty much useless. My daily prayer was "afford me strength for the day and wisdom for the moment." He did!  |

Thanks John, it's tough sometimes but like you I will do whatever it takes to take care of her and make her life as pleasant as possible. I also pray everyday for god to give me the strength to take care of her. Take care and thanks again. |

The red/white was ridden by Chase?. Always respectful. Any idea what became of him. He was the youngest rider until I believe Kali took the title.

I think that was Billings, Montana, not Morgantown.... A great time, was my first Inzane as well... Little video I put together from that event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R428nUPGdrI |

It seems a trike would be better suited for salmon wrangling :roll
