So I go to the Thunder on the Smokey rally in Marquette Kansas yesterday. It’s the one event that my Dad, both Brothers and I ride to every year. I have always thought about entering the bike into their bike show, but in a state with a rather low number of VRSC owners I know that I would be WAY out numbered by the air-cooled. I decided to hell with it and entered anyway. They only had four classes---Antique, American Stock, Metric Stock, and Custom [which they limited to trikes, custom framed, frame modified, triple tree modified, or extremely wide tire modified (more then 280)] They put me on the wrong side, next to all of the foreign bikes, and wanted me to enter the Metric class. “It’s American Made so I’ll be damned if I do that” I said. American Stock was the largest class I later found out though.  The show was spectator voted, which makes it tougher because everyone here knows that there are quite a few that cannot get over a Harley with a radiator. Despite all of that I managed a second place behind a Screamin’ Eagle Springer Softail. Not bad I though since there obviously had to be a lot of people that voted for my bike even though it has antifreeze circulating though it.

Well then...all things considered, a huge "CONGRATULATIONS" is certainly in order and more so...hope you had a great time!  A great story and maybe some day, these bikes will get the recognition they deserve!

Went to Bike Week in Myrtle this week and saw a good number of Vs out there!  That in itself was inspiring.

Good job!

Ride safe...

congrats, did the first place SE springer have any work done to it, or was it just stock?

It was pretty much stock with just a few add ons and some paint but it's air-cooled and that's the mentality around here.
