Hacks at the Billings MT. MOA Rally

Wandered around a few times and photographed a few of the Rigs / other bikes present.



"Boxer Metal" tank badge.



Thought there was a dead animal in the chair...guess I was right....


















Not a "Hack" but interesting.....Matt Parkhouse's "Eco Friendly" Electric Toaster



I seem to run across this Rig / Rider every couple of years around the Western US



Obviously a "pooch" hauler....



Kayaking anyone?



My rig:






a small fraction of the bikes in attendance:



This R80ST Was very nice.



Another clean solo bike which caught my attention



and another:



Michelin sold a lot of rubber.



Grass camping space was at a premium & crowded...this area was right along a major road...had to be noisy. I think a lot of folks were in motels. Final attendance was around 6000 I heard.



I returned for the closing ceremonies hoping to win a door prize or something....of course I left empty handed. There were a lot of European Bike Touring prizes.....when you think about it, I would likely pass....."Air Fare Not Included".....Prize for one person...would end up costing thousands out of pocket for your "Prize"...
