Dude! That sounds like an awesome time! I wish they had done something like that in Lawrence, KS when I was in a band - we would have ate that shit UP!
You’re in Buffalo? My family hails from a teeny little place called Arcade, and you pretty much have to drive 45 minutes to Buffalo to do it.
DR looks sick man, that was one of the bikes that made me want to build the frankenbike. I sat on one at the DC Bike Show when I went with my dad. I’m pretty short (5’7”), and it felt like sitting on a small horse 🤣 …but I LOVED it. I wanted one so bad but they cost more than I could get for my old 883, so frankenbike was born!

Yeah, the local musicians love it! It was a good time for sure. I'll definitely attend again in the future.
I've been to Arcade a few times. Nice town for sure.
Frankenbike is awesome though! That's a one off, super original, and looks fun as hell to drive!
The DR build has been a lot of fun for me. First time working with a blank canvas, and I've just been doing little mods and adjustments here and there. I bought the bike all original with the exception of the bars and risers. Just ordered the carb kit, so that will be my next project. Thinner throttle pin and larger jetting coming soon. Then I want a custom seat and new tank and I'm done. Hopefully take some serious road trips on it soon. I've been thinking about doing a wrap too, keeping the original paint underneath.
Cheers

Man, legit! That’s cool you’ve been to Arcade, I’ve always wondered when I would meet someone on Hive that’s been somewhere I’ve been, on a level more localized than national or whatever…in three years you make the first one I can think of.
I’m excited to see you finish up that DR and start traveling with it a bit, I’ll live vicariously through every part of it!
Sorry for the late reply. I just seen this.
LOL, same here. I haven't really met any local Hive people here in Buffalo. Sooner or later it will happen though :)
Thanks, I have a funny feeling it will never be done. I keep finding new things I want to do with it. Hopefully some trips soon. I'm definitely going to try and get at least one or two in this season. I've kind of been working on getting the bike prepped for some more serious rides next season. I'd like to have all the maintenance done, and just be able to hop on it next season and go... Wherever.... But just go!
!BEER
That was definitely the case with the Frankenbike. Every time I thought I was close, I’d take it on a long trip and come home with 100 new things that needed to be done.
Eventually someone said it sounds like you’re trying to build a Goldwing…why not just get a touring bike? …so I did 🤣
I would love a Goldwing. I've got a few more years of dual sports left in me though. The more I research Goldwings the more I'm starting to love them. They're the Cadillac of tour bikes IMHO.
Holy shit yeah man - honestly I’ll never go back.
Mine was an ‘83, cherry condition. I sold it in the end for $300 after it rotted in my front yard for two years. Kids make it hard to ride, but no regrets.
When they grow up and move on to build their own lives, I’m 100% getting a spankin’ new Goldwing…one with a reverse gear this time 🤣
LOL, you really need the reverse gear too! I've even seen them with tiny campers you can pull behind. That would be my ideal retirement. Got me thinking now! 🤣
That’s even cooler! I just remember getting stuck in slanted parking lots and having to go through the fight of my life to get it backed out with my little legs 🤣
