I found love at the Laundomat..

Dirty laundry? Come on down to the Main Street Laundromat, in downton Sturgis, SD. Not wanting to wait on a line of people doing dirty clothes, the ultra-secure, super-plush ABM campsite was vacated at 7am. A giant pillowcase full of dirty towels, sheets, jeans, and tees was bungied onto the chop's sissybar for the four mile run to washer heaven. A beautiful blonde woman was doing clothes. She's from my hometown, who woulda known? Vendors across the street had some very cool Sturgis '07 hats for ten bucks. Just down from the laundry, cool hats with "Sturgis 2007..Stewed, Screwed, and Tattood"... $4.00

Softball Sized Hail Update:

KEVN, local RC/SD tv news, showing pic's of holes in rooftops as a result of the freaky hail storm that came through. People were dodging those ice balls, and diving for their cellars, like it was a tornado! Jeez-Imagine: You're watching Jeapordy, and a freakin' ice ball comes crashing into your living room! Wild wild west, dude...and just like rock 'n' roll, it's not for everyone.

Did somebody say free pork sandinches?

Lynn's Dakota Market is the only supermarket in downtown Sturgis. Their freshly ground pork has been a fave forever. In dixie, we pride ourselves on having the best pork & chick'in in the USA, but yesterday at appx. 1pm, I changed my mind forever. Local American Biker Minute affiliate "100.3, The Fox"/Rapid City and the SD PorkCouncil set up a giant grill outside Lynn's and for a couple of hours, gave away free "poke" sandwiches, hands down, (appology to the vegans!), the freshest, and best grilled pork we've ever tasted. No marinade, just some pepper & Lawrey's Garlic Salt. Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce on top...mmmm....saaannnndddicchhhesss.

Initial Sturgis traffic seems a bit lighter than at this time last year, but downtown Lazelle Street was jammed on our way to the Buffalo Chip today, and wow-the Chip concert area has been leveled, and sprinkler system put in. There's grass where there used to be dirt. Can I have an Amen?

Yeah, were supposed to give a complete band lineup in this blog, but ya know what? ABM got stewed last night, so we couldn't leave the campground, for our own safety, and yours. You'd see right thru us if we tried to make something up, so i promise to behave myself tonight(not)and get some kind of a decent schedule lineup posted tomorrow.
