First, this trip would not have happened if it wasn't for David Ward. He called and offered his 520 hp V8 Chopper trike to ride during my stay. HOW COULD I POSSIBLY REFUSE THAT OFFER! Sturgis is just too far away from work without flying in. He didn't just loan me his trike but he and Stan picked me up and dropped me off at the airport with no expectations in return except that I judged a trike show on Sunday. The airport was in Rapid City and about a 2 hour round trip. David, I can't say thank you enough. I know how much I cherish my bike and the thought of handing over the keys to someone for a few days and saying...have fun,....well, it's just freaking incredible. Thank you, Thank you and Thanks again!
Second, Stan (V8 Choppers) had told me a few weeks ago about a bike he was building for himself and that it was looking so good that he already had people trying to buy it but it wasn't for sale. When I saw it, I was astounded. You know when something appeals to you....it just looked incredible. I was drooling when my wife came over to me and said, "I wouldn't mind you buying a V8 Chopper, as long as it's that green one!" She was the first to slide up to Stan when I wasn't looking and suggest that he sale me that bike. WHAT A WOMAN! Stan thought it over and decided that he let it go to me and he even cut me a great deal. He is meeting me in Atlanta the first week in September (about 4 weeks from now) so I can get the bike. He wanted to take it on a ride that he already had planned in North Caroline with Elliot, Chris and some other guys.
As I said, it was an event filled trip that I'll never forget. Thanks again to David and Stan!
