Rain Clears just in time for Cheech 'n' Chong, Billy Squier:
Bikers caught in late day downpour:
NOAA wx radio reported some trees, power lines down in the northern Black Hills, but Sturgis escaped the brunt of the storm, which began as an innocent little sprinkle. The rain stopped in time for the "up in smoke" dudes, who had the large biker crowd lol. They did stuff from their past movies, & albums, including the "tutu" dance, some fine standup, & closed it out with "Up in Smoke". Billy Squier's show was good, had the crowd rockin', Squier was generous with the time spent entertaining the crowd, & showed some pretty impressive strokin'.
Cops say crime down, we say..."not so fast".
Bet the number of reported crimes is probably 10-20% of what's really stolen. ABM had the tour bag rifled day before yesterday. On main, we spotted five bikes, all chained together. Two vets, sitting atop their hogs on a midday shaded street corner, pointed out a crusty old dude, crossing an the street, & lifting what looked to be either a cell phone or a camera someone had left atop the divider. Hard to get something past a vet. Rule #1: Watch yer stuff, and if you can't take it with you, don't go anywhere. Petit theft seems to be this year's trend. People don't report little crimes, 'cause they'll never see their stuff again. Why bother?
Every day, it's something else...
Three days ago, it was flat rear tire, thanks to a 3 inch nail. Day before that, her ignition keys got lost, new ignition switch. Yesterday, it was the big bike losing gas through a ruptured hoseline. Least it happened inside the campground, and for that, ABM is thankful.
Aerosmith Tonight..
In what may be the biggest show ever to land in South Dakota, Mr. Tyler & the boys of Aerosmith hit the Chip's stage at 10:30pm. Expect a very large crowd. If you're riding out to Wyoming for "no panties Wednesday" in Hulett, or the burnout festival in Sundance, don't wait until the last minute to make it back to see this band. We understand the traffic problem could be enormous.
Tyler's ride in...
By the time someone passed on info that Steven Tyler would ride into the campground, it was too late to catch the action, but we ran into a lady who was lucky enough to capture several photos of her clutching the lipped lead singer. He looks ready for what needs to be done tonight.
