It was great to see everybody, see old friends and meet new people.
I left Blythe Saturday morning around 7 AM headed for Provo, UT. I ran into heavy rain about 30 miles before Provo, I located a hotel for the night. it was about an 8 hour day.
Back on the road about 7 AM and arrived in Spearfish about 5 PM, about 10 hour day.
Total miles to Spearfish from Blythe, CA. was around 1225 miles.
I did not go to the Early Bird Night BBQ Sunday. Monday I stayed at ground zero and helped set stuff up, and help getting registration packets out to the new arrivals.
Tuesday, it was raining most of the morning, but after it stopped, Dave (BigMac), John and I rode to Sturgis and Deadwood to have a look around. We took a tour bus around Deadwood, the tour guide told us about the town history and took us up to the MT. Moriah Cemetery, and to the grave site of Wild Bill.
Wednesday, there was the Bike rodeo, and the Joe Boyd Memorial Ride. Joe Boyd was one of the top guys in the American Honda, and he got the Valkyrie project approved. It was about 2 years later that Joe was killed in a track incident. for those who don't know who Joe Boyd was, I didn't.
Thursday, There was a scheduled poker run but it was cancelled due to the rain.
John, Dave and I, again rode thought the Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway, and took some photos. We returned back to ground zero just in time to see the Peoples Choice Bike Show. Then was the Dinner and Awards.
Connie (F6Gal), Michael (Psycho), Willow, Motomama, Scott in OK and the rest of InZane staff sure did a great job putting all this together.
Friday morning, 6 AM, Wayne (One Way) Dave (BigMac) and I headed out of Spearfish, SD. and had an overnight stay in Coalville, UT. at the Best Western. Coalville is a really small town, maybe smaller then Blythe, hahahahah.
The hotel person was very nice. Wayne asked the lady that checked us in, if she had any rags we could use to wash off our bikes, they were trashed with bugs. Which she was kind enough to give us.
Saturday morning, Wayne, Dave and I were back on the rode around 7 AM, just after the complimentary breakfast. We stopped every 100 miles or so for a rest, water and munchies. We also topped off our tanks.
My new F6B took less fuel to top off, then Dave's Interstate and Wayne's Tourer , by a little better then 1 gallon of gas. Our last stop together at just over a 100 miles, my tank took 2 gallons of gas, truly amazing gas mileage. we said good bye at that stop.
There was still a 100 plus miles to Wayne's house where Dave stopped for the evening. I continued my way back to Blythe.
When I got to Needles, CA. right at the Interstate 40 and the Hwy 95, where I needed to go. I run right up to a rainy lightning storm, it was moving over the mountains toward me from the Lake Havasu area. I was on the 95 and was headed eastward right into this storm, before the road headed back south. Big rain drops started hitting my windscreen, I could hear the rain moving right at me, the lightning was very close, so I twisted the throttle hit triple digits to escape this electrical storm. What a rush, hahahaha. 2funny
I was home by 5:30 PM.
