55 Lunchtime Degrees?
Cold Wx Grips Rapid City!
30 min, woulda 'fridged up a 12 pak of suds. Rollin' down the 90, coulda swore the temp sign said 55 degrees..11:30am? Last time that cold, back in March, before Daytona Bike Week. In Sturgis, it was raining cold, real cold, & nasty. Still, they're out there! It came down pretty steady last night, but no hail, or electric light show. No complaint, Black Hills wx gets better, dryer, warmer from here on, that's what they say.
Nitros Fever!
Got a little down time, few minutes to kill? Why not fill up your nitros oxide tank(s), so you'll be all set to rip up the next skin, & blow your drive belt/chain to shreds? "The Rev Limit", shop, located just off the easternmost I90 exit, and about halfway to Main Street, will fill it for ya while you wait.
Vale's "Last Call"
Each year, we take a ride out to Vale, a little town out in the country, about 10-12 miles (remember, i don't have a working odometer), past Bear Butte. Hang a right, go down a mile to town. Ranchers frequent this place, and the five of 'em seated inside the very rustic old one room schoolhouse, (or it may have been a church), looked just like the five dudes who where there last year, on the first Wednesday before Sturgis. ....hmmm..
$2.50 longnecks, 16 buck prime rib special. The beef out here is very good.
Two extra wheels, please?
More motorcycle-pulled trailers seen so far this year than ever before, & little mc trailer vendors are popping up around town. Cash is hard to come by, so bikers are downsizing.
Pulling a limited amount of stuff with your scooter leaves just enough extra cash to make the dif between going & staying home for a lot of bikers.
Sturgis-Bound & Proud Of It?
Seen everywhere.. Shoe polish slogans hand painted onto the side of trailers, vanagons, cars, trucks...something like..."Sturgis or Bust"..."We're Going to Sturgis", etc. I think when you barely have enough cash to make the trip, but you wake up one morning & say, "We're goin' anyway!", it makes the trip special. Aye?
