Deadwood Trike Rally 2018

[pmar6004]

I really need to get there this year. I enjoy the Black Hills.

I just made reservations at Dakota Spur Hotel Lead, SD. Not many rooms left in Deadwood.

Welcome aboard Jerry. Will this your first visit to the Black Hills? If so, I think you'll find the scenery simply fantastic with some of the best triking/motorcycling roads east of the Rockies. Thanks for the lodging update for Deadwood, as it's not surprising that most rooms have been taken. For others that are interested in attending the Deadwood 3 Wheel Rally, here's a link to Deadwood's Chamber of Commerce which might be helpful as a first resource to finding lodging.

I went to Sturgis about four years ago. Weather was bad didn't get to ride much. Looking forward to some good rides, with all the good people.

You'll find them both and then some, while attending the rally. Hope you can hook up with my good friend Bill (PosseRider). Having someone to make the journey with makes for a much more interesting and enjoyable ride, not to mention one that is safer, as well. Take care...!

Are there any campgrounds recommended?

We will be coming out with the RV?

Thanks

We stayed at the Days of 76 rodeo grounds, they have RV sites, it's pretty decent, and it's right there where everything is happening. No sewer hook-ups at the sites, but they do have a trailer dump.

Hi George,

Yes, there are quite a number of nearby campgrounds to chose from. Here's a link, which gives you the websites to a number of campgrounds http://www.deadwood.com/chamber-info/. Don't forget to register for the rally if you haven't already. http://www.d3wr.com is where you can register. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

We stayed in Elkhorn Ridge RV Park just outside of Spearfish SD Geo. It is a very nice CG with large sites, full hook-ups, and a really nice pool. What we liked about it was the location (close to interstate plus only 10 minutes away from rally).

Looks like a pretty darn nice place.

You won't be disappointed if you stay there. We met two other couples camped there who had trikes. We are all still good friends today and will be meeting up and riding in Florida this winter and Tennessee this spring.

I hope to be able to come to the Deadwood Rally next year.

I've been to that area a few years ago, but I was in my car.

I got some great views of the scenery since it's a convertible, but I think the bike will be much more fun.

[trikeman]

Wife and I have had 350Z BMW Z 4 and BMW 328i convertibles but none of them can compete with trike when viewing scenery.

Put some posters out in the DFW area for the rally last year. Really going to try and make the rally in 2018. Be glad to get the posters out again if needed. Maybe this time it won't cost me several thousand dollars to do so (last year the wife and I found a new Motor Trike reverse trike at one of the stops and ended up making a buy we had not intended.) Geez.

PM me about the posters.

Hi Weldon,

David (Trikeman) is right when he said that nothing compares to unobstructed viewing when traveling by trike as compared to other modes of travel. I sure hope that you can make the Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally next year (2018). Please bookmark the rally's website http://www.d3wr.com on your computer where you can register and keep abreast of any changes to the rally's schedule of events.

Hi Gary,

Regarding getting some posters for promoting the rally, I don't think that Teresa has got them printed yet, but thanks for asking and for your support. Teresa will be sure to respond if you would send her an email. Her email address is teresas@firstgold.com. Hope that you can, not only promote the rally, but that you can attend it as well. Thanks again....

Question for those that have attended in the past: Is this a trike rally or a Can-Am event ?

Just saw a listing on FB of early entries for this year's event and out of 42 registered, 35 are Can-Ams. Five Harleys and two "others" made up the balance. Just curious

There are probably a lot more Can-Am and Spiders than Harleys. I'm sure someone will post with a count. That was a little bit of a disappointment for me since I'm not really interested in those other brands of trikes. But it was all good just to be introduced to that area and meet some good folks.

This is a "Trike" rally but many Spyders riders attend. The major western Spyder Rally "Red Rock Spyder Rally" in St. George is taking a vacation for 2018 so Deadwood 3 wheeler Rally may draw more Spyders this year.

[mirider]

OK - thanks for the info. Guess I will reassess my plans as I am not really interested in a rally consisting of mostly Can-Ams. Still plan on hitting the area again this year, will probably change my room reservation to different time frame. The best part of the Sturgis rally last year was the riding opportunities in the area and that can be done anytime......
