Idaho Falls Duck Race Day - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

foambuilder · 08-12-2007, 08:01 PM

Here are some pics from the IF Duck Race Day. It is one of those lottery things to raise $ for various charity and you "adopt" a plastic duck.

They load all the ducks in a dumpster, hoist it about 150' above the Snake River and dump them in. The whole mess floats to the "Finish" and they award stuff (like cars, motorscooter, 1 carat diamond, etc) to the first 20 "winners".

Also, there were motorcycles on display - mostly HDs, a black 1948 HD, a red 1956 HD, some choppers, cruisers, etc.

Maybe someone can comment on why no metric bikes get heavily modded? There has to be a ton of $ in some of those HDs.

More HDs

I like my C50 LE and it gets good comments and praise almost every time I take it out.

When I look at some of these HDs, BOY!, some of them are just gorgeous! Whether you like/dislike HDs, even the stock ones are pretty impressive....

I took this pic of a guys "add-on" plates in Kyiv, Ukraine. It may be considered "X-Rated", but I only took the pic - I didn't make the bike...
