We took this photo in Rapid City actually at the H.D. exhibit down stairs where they were showing off the new bikes for 1998.
I really admire this guy along with the rest of the world!! Dave Barr - Author of "Riding The Edge" Dave set a Guiness World Record for the fastest trip around the world on a motorcyle. He is pictured here with his Harley he rode & the 2 legged prosthesis he wore! Dave is missing his own legs! Who ever says "I can't do this or that" Needs to re-evaluate their lives! You can order his book (I get nothing but satisfaction of helping him out on this!) for $23, includes shipping & autograph! (706) 379-4941 - or P.O. Box 8633 Bodfish, CA 93205 Please tell him you saw it on Doc & Becky Hemp's BAD Chariots pages. He thinks computers are usless. (he might be right!)

..... 12/28/98 ... got an email today from his neighbor Keith Elfstrom who is now setting up a website for Dave .... you will be able to get to it from our Cool Links Room shortly. All our pages are non-profit, non-commercial & hobby .... but, ...... it is only a matter of time before those with something to sell as their only source of income, will realize they must use the internet too. (Dave ... I told you so .... & the best of luck in the sales of your book! You have earned it my man!!!)



This is the new 1998 Road King which Rob & I liked the most of all the new bikes. This one comes with a $1300. custom nostalgic paint job! One of spectators checking how it feels!



This is a patch I saw when we stoped at the store just past the State Game Lodge. This got to me! Matthew had ridden his Harley to Sturgis & back in 1995 with his folks, The Ken R Hafners. He was killed in an auto accident 6/8/96 when he was just 21 years old. They were doing the trip again in 97 without him physically, but with him just the same as the patch shows!!!! So, these two photos above & below are in memory of Mathew Oliver Hafner 12/5/75 - 6/8/96. Bikers are REAL PEOPLE FOLKS!!!!




RETURN TO STURGIS 1997!
