lockmup68 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Pulled into the 370 Lakeside Park in St. Peter’s, MO (great park for us BTW), and a gentleman came over after we got parked and asked to look at my hitch (TSLBH), turns out it is Mr. Jerry, the original designer of the hitch who sold it to Hensley. He said my hitch was after his day as it has the Chinese head on it vs. the USA made head he put on them. So he also designed the comfort ride hitch and lives close to Rick. He and another gentleman now have Badger hitches, witch look like mini comfort rides with air cells. Going for the pickup truck market. They were headed back to Wisconsin from ththe escapees Rally in Sedalia, MO. He also said it was the saddest escapees Rally he has ever attended. 2003 International Eagle 9200i, Cummins ISX, Freedomline 2007 Teton Scottsdale XT4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmup68 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Not many people there, poorly run/planned, no traffic in vendor area due to scheduled seminars during vendor area open hours, etc. 2003 International Eagle 9200i, Cummins ISX, Freedomline 2007 Teton Scottsdale XT4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappir Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I didn't go to this year's rally but have attended one in Sedalia in the past. Was not well run that year either. $40 to walk through a tiny vendor area, the campground was quite a distance away and all parking areas clogged with golf carts and tow vehicles. Had a hard time finding a place to even squeeze my motorcycle in. The HDT Rallies have spoiled me.
