Anyone have a loaner moped in/near the Black Hills on 6/4?

I'm in the process of moving from San Francisco to Minneapolis. I just rolled into Yellowstone, where I was planning to ride my moped around the park for the day tomorrow (Mon. 6/3). It was going to be my one and only big stop along the way.

Whelp, that was until some fuck-wad in a giant truck didn't see it parked in front of him and drove right over it, bending a bunch of shit and cracking off the pipe --- not repairable with the spare parts I brought.

So I'm hoping I can still get in some moped miles by switching up my plan to the Black Hills, which was always a Plan B in case of rain.

Anyone in the area want to help a dude out?

Thanks,

Jeff

Snapped off the mounting lug from the cast iron cylinder. One of the only kits available for a Garelli VIP, and not available in the US without $$$$.

So you're right. Done.

Well, shit. That sucks. Got a good old friend in Sturgis, but he’s strictly a Harley dude.

Hit up the Green Bastards in Sioux Falls when you roll through there, then hit us up when you get to Mpls. Excellent moped links here and there so one of us will get ‘ya set.

Maybe we can get you back in the Black Hills sooner than later - there’s going to be a kick ass rally there last weekend of July.

Thanks, for trying, everyone. I just skipped out on mopedding and kept it rolling. Closing on a house on Thursday, so no real extra time for dilly-dallying.

And thanks for the info, Schmiddy. You were the one who hooked me up a couple years ago with a loaner at my wedding above Indeed; still appreciate that. I'll hit you guys up once I get settled.
