bunk house
Well next week I should hear word about my new camper to be picked up or may be the next week I'm ready to take a trip. And I got controls for my heated gloves so I'm good to go. below 30 deg. my hands get to cold with out heat. going to take my harley (with out my texas ranger sidecar on for now). now who's got the best raked tree and all for a Harley for next year?Rudy

While you are there, ask if they are going to have another campout next year.

Sidecar Mike didn't I camp near you and your wife a couple year ago at a gray beard (motoGuzzi)Guzzi ralley in Wis.. I had a Harley and on Sunday of the ralley I left for Sturgis S.D I watched a movie in your sidecar( Guzzi with a Ural sidecar) on Sat nite. I really had a good time. I was out about 2 weeks that time. dHad to go to Yellow Stone after Sturgis. I think I got wet more than once that trip.Rudy

No, I'm guessing you're thinking of Kim Schick. He has a black Ambassador with a Ural car. I would have been at the same rally, at Lake Joy a week or so before Sturgis, but either with a Valkyrie with Ural sidecar, or a Guzzi EV with a Motorvation car.
I'm built about like Kim, and the same age, but I'm much better looking. 🙂
I had a good time I want to do that agein. Maybe next year. Hope to see you and say hi in person.Rudy

I told the guys that I will always be a member and will always be there, even if my EV sells.

You have talked me into it for next year that's the weekend befor Sturgis. The last time I went that's how it was. When I left their I didn't get 40 miles and had to put on my rain suit, wore it to LaCross. then I made it to Chamberline S.D. camped(I like Chamberlin a lot really nice camp ground). Next day had to wear my rain suit agein and wait out a storm but got to Sturgis that afternoon.Rudy

I'll be there on my Goldwing. Hopefully, with a sidecar of some sort attached. Usually, I come in on Thursday and end up at or near site 41.
My son lives at Racine Wi. The last time I ame to the ralley at Lake Joy I stoped by his house then got to the ralley on Thus. myself. May do the same thing next year. I don't know if I'm going to put a biger engine in the Triumph or a raked tripel tree on the Harley. eather way about the same money. I want to sidecar and pull the camper.Rudy
Leaving in the morning to pick up my new bunk house camper. Going up(750 miles) with Harley guess I'm going to put the sdecar back on the Harley more power.Rudy

Have a safe trip, Rudy. Let us know when you get home with it.

My bunk house is home by itself it's not much pull on the Harley, except at 15 to20 with gust at 30 MPH. Had to run 5 th gear(gas milage then 30mph). After the wind 36 mph. Now no sidecar on the Harley. Boy it was cold up and back. 12 hr. driveing time up 13 back. Rudy

Glad you made it back safe Rudy. Please keep us updated.

Out of their Sat. 8:00(Fog don't like it)home at 3:30. The Harley got a lot of power I don't think my Triumph will pull it all at the speed I travel. Rudy
I have found the best solution for cold hands to be: http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/search.cmd?form_state=searchForm&N=0&fsch=true&Ntk=AllProducts&Ntt=atv+mitt&x=14&y=6
I rode last week when the temp was 18* F with summer weight mesh gloves. My hands were toasty warm. I do have grip heaters so that's a help but not having ANY wind or rain/snow hitting your hands makes a huge difference.
I did modify the left mitt by adding a 5" tall piece of sailcloth to allow use of the radio/cd player controls.
