Yep, I went a couple of years ago on the Aprilia. I didn't get as many looks as I expected.

I also got the bug in NM to get all the way home the last day. :lol: It was a 750-mile day for me, too, so I'm guessing we stayed in pretty close to the same spot (can't remember where I stayed, exactly.

So, you actually rode there and back, rather than putting the bike on a trailer to get it up there like many of those 700k Harleys? :lol:

Makes me think of that video someone posted about the HD rider meets sportbike rider.

Sounds like a great trip Moira. Can't wait to see pictures.

I've been to Daytona. Daytona THINKS it's a big rally. It was really funny to watch the guys unload their trailers 30 miles out of town just to ride in and look hard core. :lol:

Exhibit A - I give you Brian Klock from KlockWerks and Andie Gaskins from JAG drag racing. There was an S&S party at the Broken Spoke. They turn the dance floor into a burn-out pit. It was the two of them and two others, all burning out. S&S has a new president, he was there for his third day on the job. When we rolled Andie's drag bike in, her husband told me it would burn gas fast and probably either run out of fuel or blow the tire. At the end you can see him tap then hit her on the back to shut it down. It was good humor.

The camera guy down front is the one and only Michael Lichter.

I'm working my way backwards - that was from Wednesday night. I'm not used to taking pictures and documenting stuff. This sorting stuff sucks.

Met some bikers from Las Vegas at a gas station the other day that came from Sturgis. Said they had a great time. My wife and I went up there in the late 70's. It was September, but there were still a couple bikers left over from the rally that stayed in our campground. That downhill, one-way, twisty road in Custer State Park is still the most memorable road I was ever on.

OK, so keeping a blog is an incredible pain in the ass. I'm updating things with pictures. Most of this fits in the category of "can't make this shit up" :lol: My personal favorite is the midget bowling...
