• 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.

Deadwood and Sturgis Rally’s

Thank you for the update Rapid. :bowdown:

We are going to adopt a wait and see and hoping there will be no second wave of the virus. We are considering the DW rally. Sturgis not our cup of tea. The whole area is some fantastic riding though. When in MN and WI, I went to the Black Hills every year. Linda has been there once with me.

Rooms not an issue for us, Linda has relative in Rapid City.

Time will tell. :yes:
 
Sturgis City Council will vote on the fate of this years Rally on June 15th

Thanks for posting that, I was going to share that myself. Optimistic that it’s going to happen, there were 4 places that had dining in open on our ride yesterday. 1 on Hwy 44 near Hisega and 3 breweries between 3 forks and Hill City. Rapid City city counsel meets tonight, and there’s talk Deadwood might be opening up soon. Here’s hoping, most of our cases of the virus are east river.
On a side note saw quite a few out of state license plates, it looks like the tourists are starting to come. Maybe they’re escapees from the “lockdown” states.
 
Deadwood opened back up last Thursday, we’ve been up there a couple times. Not quite as busy as normal but it was nice to see tourists out. Seeing more out of state license plates. They did however cancel the Hills Alive music festival for this summer which was around the same time as the Deadwood 3 wheeler rally.
 
Still watching to see if the three wheel rally in Deadwood is "officially" on or off. We were wanting to attend that one, but also a little hinky about a "second wave" of the virus kicking in. For us, attending is still up in the air.

We do not have to worry about hotel reservations because of relatives in Rapid City. We are covered there. He told us that Badlands National Park was now open.

He also mentioned that he just bought a 2015 Spyder RT. This will be his first. He is keeping the Gold Wing also. So if you see a pack of red, orange, and yellow spyders on the road...guess who?? :roflblack:

I'll be looking for you.
 
Wifey is planning on taking her Spyder over for the trike rally, as long as I can tag along with my two-wheeler. Is that frowned upon?

Well my son helps with rides and he is either on the Goldwing or his Victory so... Good question though. Under the FAQ on the site it says:

Will there be a problem if a person in our group is riding two-wheels while the rest of us are on 3?
While this event is designed with trikers in mind we certainly understand that everyone in your group may not be riding a trike. Two-wheeled registrants are welcome.
