Big Bad Grasshoppers In The Badlands!

Sturgis Bikers: Planning a day trip to the "Badlands"?

Got a bullet proof vest?

...You'll need one. Billions upon billions of small, yet lethal grasshoppers left a yellow gooey mess all over the front bikes heading to and thru this area. We see 'em every year, but never this thick. The postman scored a shotgun-shell sized welt on his left shoulder from one of the larger critters.

All this and bad road too?

Compliments of the economic stimulus program, a massive section of 18 miles down rt44 near the Badlands town of Scenic has been tore up and grooved for repaving. It's the worst paved road you've ever run. Makes riding hiking trails feel like the interstate system. Use Rt 40 ONLY. When you pull off, there's a mile detour over dirt, then it breaks out into brand new highway. Again campers, use rt40 not rt44.
