you will have to ride 4 miles down a well maintained highway (no big deal used to take my Harley two wheeler in and out of there because I lived there)
Sorry! Amend this to say well maintained gravel road.

Has anyone heard anything regarding the T.O.U.R. gathering?
Latest thing I heard, from the people at SeeThruBraz, was there wasn't going to be a T.O.U.R ride this year because police thought it would be dangerous trying to escort that many trikes.
Did hear that Leaman was having a ride to Devils Tower but don't know what day.

Hey Texan,
Why don't you give Lehman a call to see if they have a date and time set for their ride to Devil's Tower? As I have announced earlier, I planned on coordinating our TT/TOI Meet/Ride event with the T.O.U.R., but unfortunately Jim, at Roadsmith. informed me, that there was not going to be a ride, because of the shear numbers of bikers that are expected to attend this years Sturgis Rally. If Lehman thinks differently, I will strongly considered coordinating our event with theirs. For everyone's information, I have not gotten any word yet when Roadsmith, in conjunction with the Buffalo Chip, are planning their Meet and Greet get-together for trikers, during the Rally.

Sturgis 2015 TT/TOI Meet/Ride event
I was hoping to coordinate this event with that of Roadsmith's T.O.U.R. and/or Lehman/Champion's Triker Tuesday, during the Sturgis Rally. I called Roadsmith and was told that they were not going to have a ride this year due to the shear numbers of bikers/trikers that are expected to attend the Rally, their 75th anniversay. The Sturgis police and sheriff departments will not be able to extend the needed manpower to provide traffic control for the ride, therefore it has become a safety issue for Roadsmith. I was told that they still are planning a meet/get-together during the Rally, but the details are still yet to be announced. I also called Lehman/Champion and was told that they are not going to have a ride representing their Triker Tuesday event during the Rally, I'm assuming essentially for the same reason. Whether they intend to have a meet/get-together in appreciation for the trikers that attend the Rally, is not known. Since both Roadsmith and Lehman/Champion are sponsors of this forum, hopefully either or both will read my post and make known their intentions with details. I decided not to wait any longer for their participation or input to make my announcement, even though the Sturgis Rally is slightly less than 2 months away. I'd rather make mine a bit early than too late so that those that are planning on attending the Rally have ample time to schedule and plan their activities during the Rally. Hope to see you there... Ride Safe!!!
TT/TOI Meet/Ride Event:

To all past and present T.O.U.R. Riders:
First of all thank you for joining us and making the TOUR event a very special occasion the past two years during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Many of you have been inquiring as to if there will be another Trike Owner’s United Ride this year; Unfortunately, due to the expected levels of traffic and congestion on the roads for the 75[SUP]th[/SUP] Anniversary, we’ve decided not to host the annual ride this year. Over the past months we’ve been working on developing an alternative event to still celebrate three-wheel riders, and we’re thrilled to finally be able to announce the first ever Black Hills Photo Hunt!
We have teamed up with the Sturgis Buffalo Chip yet again for this one of a kind T.O.U.R. (Trike Owners United Riders) event during the 75[SUP]th[/SUP] Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. This fun and interactive hunt will take trikers to destinations all over the Black Hills, seeking out all the cool and crazy the rally has to offer. Participants, using a Black Hills focused list of people, places, or things (found on Roadsmith’s Facebook page), will hunt down and photograph themselves and/or their trike as proof of discovery with the object in the picture. Photographs need to be uploaded to Roadsmith’s Facebook page to qualify.
Prizes will be awarded to riders who locate the most things on the list. A catered reception will take place at the Crossroads area of the Buffalo Chip on Wednesday August 5[SUP]th[/SUP] from 3-5pm to announce the winners and to celebrate the camaraderie of three-wheel riders. Trike riders can get more detailed information and register at www.buffalochip.com (registration is not up as of today but will be shortly).
You can also read more about how to participate and the rules on our website at this link here
Hope to see you at the rally!
Best Regards,
-The Roadsmith Team

The answer to your question is NO. The event is scheduled for August 6th, a Thursday. Again, see post #35 on this thread for all the details.

I will be staying (once again) at Crooked Creek Resort, RV space #51. Crooked Creek is 2-3 miles south of Hill city just before the Rushmore cutoff.
