    Tabasco - Where to pick up NF - OHV stickers??? That was an interesting question that took a couple of phone calls.... Apparently OHV stickers can be purchased at the gas station at Lynn's Dakota Mart. This is the only grocery store in Custer. Around the side of the store they also have...

    Holligl - Trail stickers for the National Forest ...... Probably a good idea if you want a taste of trail - it's $25 vs a $250 fine. Also Custer State park, to the SE of Custer (town) will also require an entrance/sticker/fee. Trail riding will be done in the Nat'l Forest lands. Fun and...

    Black Hills Yamaha Super Tenere Rendezvous July 22nd - 25th, 2021 - Custer Crazy Horse Campground, Custer SD

    To Gunslinger's question ...... I guess how and why each of us ride is kinda individual. For my preferences, if I were dead-heading from Seattle to the Black Hills and then riding, I'd be prone to throw the bike on the trailer. But, if I planned to dawdle my way to the Hills and explore some...

    The Black Hills has a lot of good riding for whatever roads or trails turn you on; but sometimes too much of good thing is too much! If you like to incorporate museums and that kind of thing into your bike adventures - of course you need to check out Mt.Rushmore and Crazy Horse - the following...

    Black Hills Yamaha Super Tenere Rendezvous July 22nd - 25th, 2021 - Custer Crazy Horse Campground, Custer SD

    …… whatever bike you are riding to the event on, one of the stops you should consider is the "Minuteman Missile" site which is part of the national park service. Take time to stop there if you are coming in from the east on I-90. Or, you can take it in at the beginning or end of your ride if...

    Mark - you've mislabeled me as "dangerous" ever since Eric wiped out and his leg went flying 15' thru the air :eek:. I know this traumatized some of the group, but in full disclosure Eric flicked his prosthetic leg up for dramatic effect...... Otherwise, I think I've mostly brought people...

    Called up Crazy Horse yesterday and got site 634 reserved. On a side note, did some winter 4-wheeling with some guys yesterday as well. Got on some tracks/trails/routes I might incorporate on summer rides Wacked

    The 2021 Yamaha Tenere 700

    On some routes and trails - especially the Western routes away from it all - there's an easy 250-275 between gas stops. The 200ish range sneaks up on you really fast. Tiger is right about not carrying that gas up high in a big old tank; I think that's why the tall 640 was kinda awkward on the...

    The 2021 Yamaha Tenere 700

    Thoughts on my T7 …….. So, I was kinda "forced" into buying this bike after blowing up my KTM 640 Adventure out in the back woods of Wyoming. Had my eye on the T7's but this forced my had AND (long story) I been given the opportunity to ride a T7 400miles in mixed conditions. A buddy knew...

    From South Dakota …..

    Signed up recently to be part of this upcoming Black Hills Rally - Got out of bikes in my mid-20's due to an accident; got back into it in my 40's because my kid was interested and I thought I was mature enough to handle testosterone induced impulses that rapidly overtook my riding abilities...

    Getting nervous...... Gunslinger and Patrick are making me wonder if this is a Yamaha “Swingers” event!?Nah, we should be able to work something out. I’m curious on the ergos myself - put 2k on it last year bone stock and thought the positioning was great for on and off-road. Got bored...

    Took some days off for the event; Looks like a fun crew! I'm local and will bring my T7 down to Custer. Probably show up with my non-riding wife, sissy dog, and camper van. Usually lean towards 2-track kinda stuff. Have some routes in mind for those who need to challenge a little gravity and...
