I wish I could find a picture of the old bike - would have loved to have posted it in the opening... I'm sure I have one around here somewhere --- I'll ask to see if anyone from the trip has a digital ... at worst we may come up with one when it was loaded on the hauler in Utah :( !!

I did get it fixed -- I had it hauled back by some friends that happened to be going through Salt Lake City just after we got home.

My intent was to keep it but after about 6 months - 1 year... my wife got tired of seeing both bikes in the garage --- so begrudgingly I sold the bike... have to admit it was the hardest thing to do - I was really attached to that bike. I don't think I talked to anyone for a couple of days after "she" left.

Sorry to hear that Uncle Sam decided to send you off to training during the rally. Hopefully all will calm down and your deployment in '10 won't be needed - doubt it... but one can hope.

Thanks for your service.

2009-01-12T16:22:00.000-07:00

I actually sat here and read the whole thing from beginning to this part. Then I started trying to find pictures of the bike you started the trip on. I need to know, did you get it fixed and then keep it or did you fix it and sell it?

I was hoping to do my first trip to Sturgis this year but thanks to the Army they decided to send me to a month long course during the Black Hills Rally and I will probably be deployed again in 2010 so I guess we are looking at 2011. Only 9 more years until retirement!

This one, while it took only a week to live, etched itself deeply in to each of us...

Thanks for taking the time to read our journey.

Can't wait to hear the rest of this story. Pretty good one so far. I usually have to write a story right away or I will forget some of the important details.

Peter,
then you are exactly what I describe -- if nothing else this is true by your statement of "...ride a japanese made bike to nowhere..."

The construction site and multi-million dollar deal were used simply to describe the social/economic distance that makes up "those" that ride...

2008-11-25T08:51:00.000-07:00

No, no worries, 9 years later it's nice to be able to laugh at it myself... it took us a couple of months after we got home before we could truly find the humor - most of the time was spent just looking at each other going "WOW!! Can you believe that trip!..."

Personally I don't think that, with 9 years of riding experience under my wife's belt, I would get away alive if that trip took place today :) !

2008-11-24T20:16:00.000-07:00

While I'm sitting here laughing my ass off at the expense of your tragedies, sorry, I can see why this has taken nearly 9 years to finally write about... Who wouldn't need that long to recover from all the crap you went through!!!

BTW - your wife held off better than mine would of. By day 2, a hearse would of been picking me up!

BAM, thanks so much. I'm glad that you are enjoying the Sturgis Story - it was one hell of a trip! I know I owe you guy's another installment, I've been working on it and will have it up soon.

The tab menu bar on my site was done with a couple of pieces of code - you can see them if you right mouse click and select view source. I also have a clean version in both black and white on my test site at: Test

Thanks for the link and thanks so much for your comments.

Your site is pretty cool. I just started mine and have yet to figure out all the tabs that you have placed on here.

Anywho - I'm hooked on reading your journal about the Sturgis ride. You should write a book about it! Very entertaining... Looking forward to the next write up. I'll be adding you to my site if you don't mind as "Links I Follow".

Ride Safe!

Troy I love your skill as a story- teller, whether serious or humorous. This story made me chuckle mostly because my husband had four tats--all from early days in USMC.

Keep it up--someday I will be able to say I knew you when.

It definitely was an interesting day - and I was in such a miserable mood - I guess I was just looking for something to lighten it all up a bit :) Thanks papercages.
