There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

We will be doing mainly back two lane roads. Love going through all the small old time America towns. We stumbled on so much to see. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

Party Pooper!!
That'd make such an entertaining you tube vid...
hyea: But only if the pet-er could run fast enough to get to safety before the pet-ee (which in this case would be the fluffy cow 
) managed to catch up!! If THAT happened, it'd be more of a horror vid :yikes: Hmmm, hang on a sec..... a horror vid - they sell well don't they?? Probly get lotsa views, so juuust maybe, given the right pet-er of course, this could be a win-win - for everyone but said pet-er, anyway!
Do you happen to know anyone you could take along as sacrificial pet-er Slice?? :dontknow: You'd only need to get them as far as Custer State Park, and take the video of course, but I'm willing to share the royalties if you use my idea. :thumbup:

For our 10 year anniversary I remember driving with my wife in the truck in Custer loop area. We stop because everyone infront of us is stopped on the road. Wife is looking ahead with the window down watching a donkey with its head in a car laughing. We had been there once before but didn’t see them then. All the sudden she turns an a donkey sticks it’s head in our truck window. She jumps. Now we are fine. Used to horses, in fact we had the horses at the rodeo that trip. Feed it a few crackers and push its head out. So at that time, which has totally changed now, I put my truck into 4 wheel drive and we started driving out on this mini road with grass in the middle all rutted up. Signs saying only 4 x 4 high clearance allowed. When we were there it was full of trees and like going back in time. We went back 10 years later and not a tree in site. Beetles got in there and killed the entire place. There was still piles of trees and the rangers had to burn in the fall. Anyway, about 10 miles into the prairie we come up on this tour bus. We stopped. There was some bulls rolling in the dust etc. as we sat there the bison started walking all around us. No biggy. We had way more around us in Yellowstone many times before this. Wife puts up window and I left mine down. All the sudden I slapped a bee on my arm. Jumped a bit as it stung me. Then another and another now inside truck. They started coming in everywhere. We had the old fold out wind deflectors at the time and the old back manual sliding windows. We were sitting ontop of a huge bees nest appearently. With the bus infront of us and a truck full of bees now I put in drive and fly around the bus. We stop 100 yards ahead both jump out swatting everything. Those bison just looked at us. We must have looked totally drunk. Bus comes up and driver then realized what had happened. Made sure we were ok. Fun times, fun memories. I was blown away the last 3 times we were in Custer. It’s looks totally different now. Not a tree in site. It’s amazing how a beetle can wipe the entire loop out. We’ll be out this year for the rally.

Fist time I did Custer State park on a motorcycle was 2009 when the Venturers had a ride in in Spearfish. I came to a line of stopped cars and of course there were Bison crossing the road. Pretty soon here comes one lone bull ambling down the road. I was on the bike, no where to go so I shut the engine and sat very still. I didn't even pick up my camera to take a picture. As he got closer I didn't even dare look at him and turned my head away. I did not want to make any move that he might thing was threatening. I could have reached out and petted that "fluffy cow" very easily.

Same thing actually almost same year. We were coming out of Yellowstone heading towards beartooth. We had the toyhauler about 20 miles north outside the park. Same thing on my old 2003 springer Harley. We had a guys infront of us on a Harley too. They weren’t with us. We were stopped and This huge bull comes up along side us from behind with motor off. Wife had already slid her legs over the opposite side just in case for a quick escape in case bike was to get knocked over. We were both as quiet as could be. He walks right on by us petting length from behind on the burm and past us. Don’t think the lady passenger infront of us had a clue. It stops 3 feet from her. She screams, the jack wagon cracks his pipes and splits between the car facing us and the car in front of him. I think he could have smashed both mirrors with his knees. Buffalo goes up on rear legs and shoots away. Traffic starts moving again. About 5 miles up the road we came up on that bike. That lady was sucking down cigarettes like eating a jerky stick. She was all flipped out yelling at the driver and saying we are never going back. She smelt it’s breath. Wife says stay calm, sit still and just watch. Little to say the lady flipped my wife off and we drove away.

At Teddy Roosevelt park I asked a ranger if I were to honk my horn while riding past some bison on my motorcycle what would be the likely response, run away, ignore me, or charge? "Could be any one of three!" He said an old cow would most likely run off, an old bull would be inclined to look and ignore, and a young bull could very well charge.

This sounds like a fun event and an excuse to ride the Black Hill's when the Sturgis rally is not going on. Wife and I will be riding from Central California. About 1400 miles, easy 3 days on the super slabs, will focus on secondary roads coming home. Any idea how many riders have attended this event in the past?
Looks like over 600 Registered last year....
