this is the 6th. night of a 8 night tour. South of Joseph Or. just off a back road. when the tour was finished Suzie Q had just over 3200 miles on her, summer of 2003. Didn't spend a dime on camping that trip.

Bob, Rob, I's raised pok'in fun at Harleys,,, just haven't been able to quit... Hopefully taken as just pok'in fun

No problem. We had two Harleys for the longest time.

We still have one V-twin...Our John Deer lawn tractor.

So this place is great for camping but when I left I saw two signs that said "No Motorcycles" and "Area Closed". I got there at night so I didn't see them. Oh well.... I hope to go back some time.

1972 - increase to 1000cc. I've never seen a prettier seat. Four speeds (on the right side). Dual drum brakes!

I LOVE Sportsters!

I hate all other Harleys!

I have nothing against Harleys, one’s laying in my yard.

Must have been camping pretty close to home, 30+ yrs. ago folks didn't normally venture too far from home on a Sportster.

rphillips we were only a few hours from home in that photo, yes.

But in 1990 I rode that '78 Sportster from the suburbs of Chicago to the Sturgis 50th. 18 hours straight through.

The first Superbike!

I believe this would fall under the heading of minimalist camping.

"vibrating slightly more than the GoldWing", Did you figure out what was wrong with the Sportster??? It should have been vibrating waaaay more if it was running like it was supposed to.

In autumn of 1976, two riders came up to SUNY Brockport (between Rochester and Buffalo) from New York City for a weekend visit (385 miles) on new motorcycles. One was a GoldWing, the other was a Sporty. The Sporty was GORGEOUS! Custom "graveyard" paintjob, peanut tank, chrome staggered shorty dual exhaust, chrome rounded rectangle air cleaner, beautiful seat, short sissy bar.

I watched them warm up for the ride home. Sportster started right up with the choke (and was vibrating slightly more than the GoldWing). As they rode off, I knew that the ride would be more comfy on the Honda. Still, I would have taken the Sportster hands down.

Haven't camped in over 30+ years....

Nothing classier than an old Sportster!
