Man, I wish I had your filmography skills, brother. I love that view you display when riding down the road with that 360. Great video showcasing the rally activity, the ride around the vendor circle was epic man.
My dad and his buddy bikes are up front at minute 22:10 (his is red with custom sissy bar and white wall tires, his friends is blue with the skull). Super neat to see thiers!! Just realized you can see them in the upper righthand corner of the screen at minute 26:38 (red shirt with black pepper dew-rag, and his buddy in a black tank top and black hat). He was so happy when I showed him this 😂😊
lol, yeah. didn't pack it on this trip. Having just got Alchemy back from the shop the night before, a lot of my "just in case" items weren't packed. Glad I didn't break down either because my road tools weren't with me either! Thanks for watching!🤪
I understand. Last year I trailered my bike to my place in Kodak Tn. And rode it to Sturgis from there. I got to my place and then realized I didn’t take my helmet. Lucky there was a motorcycle gear shop at the foot of the hill from my place and I bought a helmet there.
Great video!! I always attend at least two of the three rallies each year, however this year I was on a Triumph Tiger ADV bike (Previously always on an Indian Roadmaster) and I felt a little weird LOL, but I still had a great time!
I just road a Roadmaster for the first time in Texas (recent review video) and loved it! Don't know if I venture up again for the Fall rally, I might....if I don't go to "Smokeout" rally
@@bluzzjazz we do rally news on Gray Beard Biker Live, our live stream on Thursdays. I try to talk about upcoming rallies leaving enough time for folks to plan. Thunder In The Smokies next event is in the Fall….it’s awesome, we did Fall last year up there. Thanks for watching!
Hey Bluzzjazz, There is another "Thunnder In the Smokies" September 6-8th. The fall rally is really cool because the tems are a bit more friendly and the BRP has the beginning of the leaves changing.

That’s awesome! Good looking out! Tell him we said “nice ride”! Love the whitewalls.
Any trouble riding on the gravel and grass with your bike? Seems like you did okay.
@@papajeff5486 no, as you I know how of course. … but it not “too” loose or soft to cause too many issues
Ah crud, i wasnt at home and missed yall, but great video brother
@@eggheadrocks8224 thanks! We’ll catch you next time
24:59 there's my bike on the very left of the screen!
With the springer front end?
@@graybeardbiker the Lowrider with the big black cover on the luggage and the speakers.
I might have set the video time a second too early.
@@charleskempf6065gotcha! You look to have been prepared! Nice. Thanks for commenting!
@graybeardbiker I'll have to say hello next time I see ya around at the rally! Looking forward to that seat cover review!
Rain suit?

Kinda looks like a AARP convention

I'm confused! I'm also new to the area. Isn't the rally in Sept? The 6th thru 8th? Are there two?
There are actually 3. They do it Spring, Summer, and Fall... so the fall one is coming up in Sept. You haven't missed it :)
@@graybeardbiker Cool!! Thanks!!
@@bgnoggin your welcome!
Why do I always hear about these after they are over! I've been to DWTT and that area is great to ride.

@@Old-Biker-Dude Agreed. But you'll need long sleeves for the morning and evening mountain rides :) Love it
