Our First Annual Tiddler SLOW Ride is Saturday, June 20th
One week after our Annual Vintage Motorcycle Show.
The ride is open to any 50cc-250cc motorcycles that can maintain 35mph on a flat surface. The ride will not exceed 25 miles and will cover westside Evansville, IN back roads. Yes, we will have Randy and Denny with the chase trailer carrying tools and gas, as well as tie down straps. We will gather at Barry Schonberger’s place on the Westside of Evansville at 10:00am. If you haul your Tiddler that morning, let us know so we can give parking directions.
We will depart at 11:00am ish and return to our starting point for lunch of hotdogs and sides along with telling lies about how fast we went.
PLEASE RSVP to [email protected] or text 812 457-2809 to let us know you’re coming and if you need vehicle or trailer parking.
We will share an address and more details then.
Hope you can join us on this new Tiddler adventure.

Spot on weather brought the bikes out for the June "Rave Up" at Archie & Clyde's Restaurant. We had a nice group of vintage motorcycle enthusiast. Don followed up on the DGR confirming we had over $7,000 in donations this year with over 40 participants.
We encouraged folks to bring their bikes out to our Annual Vintage Motorcycle Show on June 13th, 11:00 to 3:00pm at Smitty's Italian Steakhouse on W Franklin St. You don't have to enter your bike in the 1990 and older competition, just share it with an appreciative crowd.

Great article and even better video on the creation of the Honda Trail bike. At 15 my first bike was an early C105T known as the 55 Trail. I too modified mine for Mississippi river back water and bluff riding. After a road accident I installed a Yamaha 80 telescopic front end that significantly improved the handling. I have a nice early 1963 version in my stash now. Barry
