Two Scoops

Day 40: August 9, 2017: Sheridan, WY: 407m/655km

After looking over the maps, we decided to head towards Little Big Horn. We stopped at a gas station, and had the unfortunate luck of being forced to listen to "the best & favorite country hits of the '80's and '90's" at a blaring and mind numbing volume. Even Opa was annoyed and he is hard of hearing. We could not get out of there fast enough. We pulled up to the gates to go into the Little Big Horn National Monument. The man at the gates was kind enough to let Opa in for free because I had an annual pass. We walked around the museum and got my second stamp for Montana. While walking around we decided to cancel touring the Dakotas completely because it would be so hot in and around the Black Hills. We had our usual ice cream while finding a place to camp. Laundry day. After pulling into camp and setting everything up, I take the clothes to wash. I go back to the tent to set up the electrical. I find Opa eating some chips ahoy and an ice cream cone! Devil's Tower in the morning and a detour to go visit Claude in Pennsylvania.

Sidecar Saturdays : Games and Awards

Image
Day 4: Saturday: This is pretty much the last day of the rally, tomorrow morning, everyone will pack up and head home. Today was going to be a long and busy day. Sidecar games. Catered dinner. Door prizes, 50/50 raffle, awards from the sidecar judging, the sidecar games, and the sign-up sheets (longest distance, youngest/oldest, etc). After a quick breakfast, we wandered over to Walmart to buy Opa a fancy crank radio, so that he could listen to his news stations on the radio. We went to the field around the corner from the camp to participate in the sidecar games. Opa said it was too hot for him to stand out and play. Luckily, a wonderful lady named Cathy with a dark green Ural asked to be my partner and vice versa. Game 1: Sidecar passenger had to play cornhole from the sidecar while never stopping and maintaining the line in the grass. Game 2: Sidecar passenger tries to make the basketball go through the hoop while the driver never stops the bike, while driving on the line. Game

A Quick Photography Session

Image
I met Austin in passing at the Annual National Sidecar Rally in Rising Sun, Indiana. He was taking shots of the other rigs and hacks that were parked along the pavilion. I asked if he had seen the matching sidecars that my grandfather and I ride-he had not. I talked with him about the bike while he took a few shots. I gave him one of my cards, we exchanged instagrams to share pictures and information with, and here we are. So. If you are looking for a great photographer and one that has a passion for things with wheels and engines, this is your guy. You can check out more of his work on his Instagram (notyouravgcowboy) or his Facebook (Whiskey City Photography). Last I checked, he's willing to travel as far as you're willing to pay him to go, but you can occasionally catch him lurking around some motorcycle rallies. Feel free to reach out and Get some incredible shots of you with your bike, as well!
