2012 BLACK HILLS MOTORCYCLE SHOW OFFICIAL THREAD

[Lonesome Dave]

Just letting Sportfaller and GreatBuffalo know that I secured two large fake boulders for the booth.  Both are about 2'x3' and are tan or sandstone color.  I'll pick them up on Friday afternoon and bring them to the Civic Center after 5:00 pm.  FYI  LD     

[greatbuffalo]

Way cool Dave, thanks.

[Sportfaller]

Awesome! I'm taking friday off so I can get the bike cleaned up and get the trees for the booth, and the banner, and be at the civic center at 4, I think we are in the ice arena.

I'll find out about maps tomorrow.

Cool. Things are coming together.

Does anyone object to me taking using their DDSR photos for a display board?

If no one objects I will pull them off the board over the week end and get them printed. That will be the extent of their use. Dave, I'll leave the shirtless pee bag pic out of this. 

[Sportfaller]

Help yourself, I have a ton of moab pics in my photobucket account, moab madness folder, photobucket/sportfaller

I was thinking, for me any way,  with full luggage, and maybe my spare set of tires.  I am still unsure as to clean or not.... its pretty clean already, so I'll probably clean it up nice.

[greatbuffalo]

I can't say my bikes will be dirty, but they aint gettin cleaned.

[Fletch]

i'll clean mine up, its not that dirty anyway, and throw the bags on.

[Sportfaller]

no joy on the maps, they are between orders and dont have many to spare....

I'm trying to get my new parts installed and everything ready, pretty pumped!

[greatbuffalo]

No Prob on the maps. I just thought it would be cool to have something to hand out.

Things have been hectic around here, thrying to work away from home and trying to get the crap done that needs to be done. Nathaniel and I spend spent from 6pm to 2am tonight in the shop trying to get stuff put together.

The KLR650 got the cases put on, not much else needed to be done to that.

My Tiger was a bit of a PIA tonight. I needed to check the valves and while I had the the thing all apart I checked the valves. changed the spark plugs and applied a new valve cover gasket. Did all that and took it for a quick ride. When I got back to the garage I had coolant and oil running on the floor. The coolant was easy, just tighten up some clamps I neglected. The oil however was a pinch in the valve cover gasket caused by a very tight gasket. So we pulled the whole dang thing apart and fixed what it needed. Thank God for my son's help.

Nathaniel has been working hard getting his KLR250 together for the show as well. It will make a statement, that's for sure.

Right now at almo 3 am I'm printing off DDSR pics but I'm running out of ink. We'll see how much we get.

Looking forward to a good time.

no joy on the maps

Maybe you could display an unfolded map on the wall, along with the pictures. It would give folks an idea of how many miles of trails there are to ride here, once they upgrade their Harley to a KLR.

[greatbuffalo]

I have a few maps we can put out on the table and we are putting maps behind the photos on a display board. Did anyone find out about available tables?

[numb41]

on the subject of a 'clean bike',  I thought it would be cool to have one side of the bike all shiny and on blacktop, then the other all muddy on gravel.

[Lonesome Dave]

Numb41, that would be funny!

Did anyone find out about available tables?

I can get tables 6 foot or 8 foot and a few chairs.  However, I can't lift them yet.  If someone wanted to pick them up where I work, (United Rentals) Friday sometime, that would work just fine.  Just let me know.  LD
