Three Wheel Rally in Deadwod

[Gator37]

Had a nice meet & greet last night in Deadwood thanks to John from N. Carolina. Very nice Rally over all just wish there were more vendors, but realizing this only second year am sure it will get better.

Are the vendors only at the rodeo grounds?

I was told by the event staff that only 2 vendors are here.

Yes only at the event center. The event fees for vendors were way too high and the number of specific brand bikes like Spyders are actually pretty low. The was no way for most vendors to make the event work financially. Unless the event gets MUCH larger or the fees MUCH reduced, they are not going to gain significant numbers of vendors. The event is nice, but I have gotten the distinct impression that its being run as a revenue generation endeavor by the First Gold hotel, not a gathering of like minded bikers.

Love the area and will be back but not likely for this event.

I agree 100%. I know one vendor was invited, but the fee was so high that they felt that the would not even break even on the event.

Nice to see so many spyders made it. I think might be more spyders than any other brand.
The people working bike central very nice and friendly. After todays ride to Devils Tower they had cold watermelon very refreshing. The casino free hot dogs sucked big time, they were cold you only got one and only mustsard and ketchup, no onions or pickle relish. Typical casino ploy to get you in the door.
I think its sad vendors did not show but understand not cost effective.

I know from a good source that there are some fantastic photos being shown on FACEBOOK. How about some of you sharing the pictures with us non-facebookers on SL?

Thanks in advance. :bowdown::bowdown:

Today went early to Crazy Hourse, they had a great 20 min. Video very interesting. Then Needles rd in Custard Park and 16a to Iron Mountain road out to keystone city.. Probably one of the top rides in the USA.
Sorry not a photographer.

Lousie and I at Cathedral Spires on Needles Highway

And you would never guess where this one was taken.

Amazing rides up here in the Black Hills.

I stopped by Rally Central this afternoon and the Spearfish dealer had a champagne RTL there to see. It was cloudy and the light was flat, making it look like a dull beige. I commented to the rep there and he said it looks sparkly in the sunlight. I was surprised to see on for real at a dealer so soon and he said they have the only one in the country.

I saw the champagne one yesterday in the sunshine and I didn't like it.

Yeah, I was underwhelmed, too.

I saw it on a sunny day very sharp looking. Ithink it will be a winner for BRP

Ann that is a great picture of the surround view mirror. How do you like it. Looks to be very functional in

the picture.


Now if you could get Joe to speed up a little------
