Soviet Steeds

Lots and lots of non-Harley bikes everywhere:

Haters? lol...people that go to Sturgis for the rally are passionate about motorcycles. There are no haters that I ever encountered. Now and then some people are snobbish about brands, but that's the same with cars and smartphones and cameras. Sure, tempers get wrangled because of the heat, the long...

Urals are very popular around Sturgis during the rally. I could ride mine into a parking lot full of high-dollar custom choppers, shiny new Harleys, tricked out Goldwing tikes, and people would stop what they were doing and walk over to check out the Ural rig. The military color guard at the Sturgis...

I'm jealous!

Great pics.....and a great looking VW too!

Well let us know how it works out. The Solos are fairly fast, well, compared to a rig, anyway.

So that should be a hoot....

I have noticed that several of the icons and fonts look different now....

Yeah that was weird.....I had to go back to the future and meet my other self, and tell my other self to re-update a thread title...

I found three motels listed for Quartzsite proper. Most other big chain motels are 'serving the Quartzsite Area'...which means other towns 20 miles away or more. http://quartzsiteyachtclub.com/Motel.html https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/super-8/quartzsite-arizona/super-8-quartzsite-az/rooms-rates# http...

Best I remember, the Taco Boat was a baked potato, sliced open lengthwise, with all the meat and fixins normally in a taco. This was all served in a small paper tray. You add your choice of stuff: salsa, cheese, guacamole, etc.

Eaten with a fork...it was pretty good. And simple...

A meet to eat at Beer Belly's sounds like a must do! Can you imagine the UDF factor with a bunch of Urals there? Yeah its not a bad place to hang out...I had a beer and a 'Taco Boat' one day, which I had never heard of before....it was GOOD! https://www.yelp.com/biz/beer-bellys-quartzsite https://w...

Tent, RV, motel room, or lay down under a tarp if need be...just BE there!

Quartzsite is very much an 'inclusive' community, and that means if you have to show up in a Caprice Station Wagon just so you have a place to sleep, well by golly, make it happen!

Now here is a pretty good video that explains, in less than 11 minutes, kinda what the Quartzsite RV experience is all about:

And a short video I shot from the drone while out riding trails as a passenger in a UTV:

A few aerial shots from the drone, of the vendor area, the green (or tan?) and white striped tent is Beer Belly's:

Tell me more!

There's an outdoor bar-n-grill called Beer Belly's (corrected spelling) at the vendor area...
