Charity Poker Run - 5 state Run

[dan45]

Just wanted to get this out there for the motorcycle riders on here.
This is based out of Guymon and will be our second year attending.
Lots of bikes, lots of people, but you don't have to ride in a group if you don't want to. Ok, TX, NM, Co, and KS, then back to Guymon to end the day.
Proceeds go to help out the community in Guymon and is sponsored by the Iron Thunder MC Club, but all bikes are welcome. We were one of many Goldwings there last year.
Winning hand pays $3000.

Also, if you click the link and download the registration form you will see it is for 2022, but they are using the same form this year and didn't change the date yet.
Or give it a few days or a week and they should have the new forms available.

This looks like some fun. I've never been one to sign up for group rides but this seems like it will be pretty interesting.

It was pretty cool. Two of the punch stops are museums, mostly pioneer type stuff, but still kinda cool.
You can ride solo, ride with a big group, or anywhere in between.
A trip downtown Friday evening is worth it. Most all the bikes are there and it's pretty cool to see them all.
Not like Sturgis, but pretty cool all the same.

I have no idea of what route the run may take, but if it happens to go along Highway 56 between Elkhart, KS and Keyes, OK, it goes by another "Sturgis." Along that way, there used to be a small country grain elevator about halfway between the two towns, and it was also called "Sturgis." Now, there isn't any elevator, but there is a farm house and barns across the road from where it was.

The route does take highway 56 past Keyes and Sturgis, on the way to Elkhart.

Very nifty, wish I could ride far enough to get to the starting point. Ha, At 75yo I am not known as "Iron Butt" any more, but I do have 59 years behind the handlebars logged. Nice flatout viewing in that area. Yep, must be a cool group of real people, as some rides do not openly include Harleys and Hondas or anything others than their "own" kind. Many act like the wind blows different in their faces over a different brand front wheel, ya know? Thanks for sharing and the invite. I hope you have a great turn out and a safe great fun time. Keep us posted here, you will not use up too much space, even with pictures.

Damn, and here I am earlier today thinking about relisting for sale my 98 Goldwing with 20K miles for $6K.

From left to right - my 2004, a fellow goldwing forum member's 2012, and my brother in law's 2005.

Downtown Guymon Friday night. Beer, BBQ, and live country music.
This was only a fraction of the bikes in town. These pictures show about half the bikes parked on main, and many many others were parked on the side streets around the main area. Every hotel has a parking lot full of bikes of all makes.
Looking forward to a fun poker run tomorrow and hoping we get back to the event center before it rains.

How was it this year? If I would have seen this a few days ago I would have went to the event Friday night to meet a fellow OSA member.

I sold my Harley a few years ago so I don’t do the ride anymore.

The only good part of that ride in my opinion is from Clayton, NM to Kenton, OK and up into Colorado…
