Someone posted some pictures of all of the BigWheels at Trikesfest 2013 in the Bikesylvania section. There's only one word for that:
AWESOME!!!!
And a BigWheel race? DOes it get any better than that? I want to go. I need to go.
But where do I go? How about Seattle for 2014? Anchorage? Fairbanks? I'm willing to drive.....
Here's the latest Enduro Alaska, btw:

3wheelerworld.com hosts TRIKEFEST in Indiana at Haspin Acres in June, the weekend after fathers day EVERY YEAR!
If you cant make it to Indiana, there are numerous rides held around the country that 3ww promotes and participates in. Or you can organize a ride advertise it and watch it grow.
Hope to see you at TF14!

Thanks for making the video go viral personally, Capn' Weezy. I need all the help I can get to impress my parole officer.
It's 2390.27 miles from where I have a beater van with 400,000 miles on it and a BW350 stored inside in Washington to Haspin Acres. That's almost 4,800 miles for the round trip.
I just might be able to pull it off. I think I NEED to pull it off. But, damn, that's a lot of driving. And I hate driving cages.
The things we do for the things we do.......

Mr. BigWheel

Thanks for watching again guys.
The big plan for 2014 was to race in the Stumpjumpers MC Club's annual Desert 100. It is apparently a legendary race held in eastern Washington. As the name implies, it is a desert race and it is 100 miles long. I don't know anything about desert riding OR racing so it seems like a perfect match to me...

The BW350 is naturally going to be the race bike and a $700 extended Dodge van will be the transportation.
Now I need to get the BW all the way to Haspin Acres. The van does best on winding roads since it is hard to steer in a straight line. A few thousand miles of freeway should be a true joy.
I'm going to start praying to the Transmission and Drivetrain Gods so I don't have to tow the van with the BW.
Hey mike dont be givin my ride away!!!:lol::lol:
Im More/less planing on Ridin out to TF next year MR.Bigweel, im half way to WA from you, should have room in the "82" for a big wheel, as long as your ride gets you here..ill get ya to haspin :beer

All right, all right. I'll just show up.
But how do I make this sound like it's a business trip to my louder half?

Tell her that my BW200 is "potentially for sale" and you are driving down here to look at it to see if it would be right for her.

That is one of the Greatest Ideas that I have ever heard. I truly need a 200 to have the BW trifecta. Although, a second 80 wouldn't hurt my feelings..
That totally makes sense to me. Do you think I can sell that concept to the explosively loud one?
I've done worse.

That sounds a little weak. My suggestion is that you start complaining of some sort of rare ailment right now (they are easy to find on the Internet) and embellish the symptoms a little every few weeks. Then two months before TF pack your gear and bike and tell her you’re storing it at a buddies to make room for some sort of near future home renovation (women love that shiit).
Now the closer. A month before TF tell her that you’ve been accepted to participate in a study at the Mayo clinic in Rochester MN for your rare and progressive ailment, all you need to do is get there, but you can’t fly because the altitude changes from a flight would mess up the blood tests.
That’s it, you drive off for life saving treatment with all her good will, stop by your buddy's, hook up the trailer and head to TF. You're back in a couple weeks and if you enjoyed TF enought to want to go back in 2015 just tell her they managed to put you into remission for a year, but that you’ll need to return for further treatments each year in order to stay alive. Oh, and don’t forget to add that the doctors recommended that you don’t strain yourself and therefore you can’t do the renovation but that bike riding is very therapeutic for your ailment.

El Camexican,
I tried to pitch your idea and claimed that I had a mysterious ailment that required a visit to the Mayo Clinic.
I was told that "Stupidity is not an ailment, it is a condition."
I don't even know what that means. Now what do I do????

Seems you married a woman who‘s intelligence exceeds that of your own. Don’t feel bad, I did the same thing. I looked for one that wasn’t as smart as me for 35 years before realizing they are far and few between. I suspect that most get scooped up at an early age.
At this point common trickery is out of the question, so it’s going to cost you and cost you big. I’m not sure how far Haspin Acres is from the Mall of America, but you may want to plumb that into your GPS as a “via” option and see if she want’s to come along.
In my case I fear I will end up financing a month long trip to Europe for Mrs. Camexican if I want to go to Trikefest. I’m trying to convince her that working her way over there on a freight ship and then hitchhiking and sleeping in dorms is the best way to remember the trip, but it’s going about as well as your attempt. Maybe it’s time for me to stop giving advice and start seeking it…

Just tell her your going. Put your big boy panties on and posture up my friend. Problem solved.

Well, I was hoping to go commando, but if the panties will get the job done then I'm in.
I just hope that they're not thongs...
