The Liver is Evil...It Must be Punished:

Up All Night (& half the morning)..

E-Z 2du when you sleep 'til 5pm, then drink 'til 5am. The cycle begins anew evry 12 hours. No time to ride, so the bikes gather South Dakota dust & dirt. Don't get me wrong, it's your life, you do with it what you want, we're myob bikers. Available American livers? 5,000 per year. People who'll die before they get one? Probably 3-4 times that number. That having been said, ABM had a few too, probably more than the Doctari would allow, but 12-18 straight hours? Even at 2-3 cans an hour, that's over a case & that, as they say, is stamina.
As a tee shirt seen at Toby Keith's show said... "The liver is evil, it must be punished".

TK Rocks the House:

Mr. Keith looked as though he had been riding his butt off.. his face resembled many of us who've been blasting around the hills all week. Windburned, suntanned. The look of the open road. The Chip was packed in like a can of sardines from the stage right back to the access road. The hillside was covered with couples who brought lounge or lawn chairs, opting to enjoy the sound, & pass on being close enough to see if the drummer had shaved. BFC. Big crowd, close to Kid Rock sized. Overflow parking lots were filled. With an occasional toast from his drink canister, he'd ask if there were "any rednecks in the crowd.." (like that was necessary?)
The band was generous with time spent on stage, we guess close to an hour and a half.

Tonight: Cheech 'n' Chong, Billy Squier. That ran off quite a few country fans, who could be seen leaving the campground early this morning.

Rally gaining ground: Lots of new arrivals over the past 24-36 hours. Campground filling up, & we still cannot believe the number of tenters this year. We're constantly interviewing Sturgis Virgins. For a hundred thousand bikers or more, this is their inaugural experience.

Wyoming Warning:

Illegal to ride side by side in Wyoming. We've met more than a few bikers who had the unpleasant experience of being ticketed in bronco country by very unfriendly state cops. We did an ABM on Virginia, the state where it'll cost ya $1250 per rider to go peg to peg.. that's 2500 clams for the both of ya, if memory serves right. Don't ride side by side in Wyoming, or really, anywhere for that matter, especially if it's someone you don't know. Even trusted bikers can screw up & take the both of ya down, especially here in Sturgis. If you see someone riding "tippy toes", avoid 'em like the plague that they are. Tiptoe riders are gonna tip over, it's just a matter of time.

Sleazy, cheap rumor heard from security staff:

Was that Woody's son who was partying hard at 3am, up on the Chip stage with some wild honeys, & shouldn't he be getting some rest? Who's running the ship?
