..."I Didn't See Them.."

Two Fatalities Before Official Start of Sturgis Bike Week:

A couple from Ravena, NY were fatally injured when a Toyota pick up truck allegedly pulled in front of them on Sturgis Road. They are the first two deaths at bike week this year... and ABM is tiring of the same old excuse... "I didn't see them"... How many more times..? How about... kill a biker & it's your falut? Lose your license ... for life.

Where Are They?

It seems like everyone wants to be correct in their prediction that this year's rally will fall short of the others.. Locals, vendors, the media... Yet, we got up at 5...yes, FIVE am today so a long wait for a s-s-h.. you know s---, shower & shave.. Only your faithful servant does not shave, so it was just a S&S.. and still, there was a line at one of the Buffalo Chip's bathrooms.. on the way to the concert pit, one glance told the story.. the tenters arrived en masse.. the valleys are plugged with bikers, & all of the shady spots are long gone.

It's the Sound of "Money"
An old local dude approached me outside the supermarket & began compaining about bikers riding around, making too much noise. Turns out he had retired & moved to Sturgis from another state! Can you imagine? You KNOW the bikes are comming in August, & you decide to live there anyway.. Then ya whine about all the noise? As I hopped on the chopper & gave the throttle a quick whack, I said hear this..? "Yeah".. Well, This is the sound of...Money. 'Nff sd.
