Pee Wee Herman Does Sturgis!

It's his big Sturgis adventure!

Legends Ride, up into Deadwood yesterday, Pee Wee Herman showing his limited skill at riding a bicycle..He ain't the skilled two wheeler the movie would indicate.. or maybe he was taking advantage of the free libations.. the downfall of many a band that parties all day, then tries to do a one hour set of music at night. The Herman dude was the life of the party at the Buffalo Chip Campground last night, as he rode a cable suspended high over the massive crowd to land his soft cat's paws onstage, and proceed to delight the rabid crowd with some "Tequila" dancin', a parody of one of his movies where he trips into a biker bar. Someone asked if he was dressed in full regalia.. the answer is yes, gray suit, bow tie, the works. His agent is a genius. The dude is garnering massive amounts of publicity for his upcoming Broadway stage show.

ZZ What?

Man, wish I could give a better report on the three dudes from Texas. Frank Beard, their beardless drummer, looked healthier this time around. Just to make sure, we asked around, and to the person, they all said, "what the hell is up with them?" We ain't out to rag on a band that's given us so many great albums, but dude, the set was just plain un-exciting, and I like the dudes. We bet they were back in LA by 2am.

Buckcherry opened the night, and as usual, they were pretty good, yet, we've seen them do better on at least a couple of occasions. Maybe it was the weather, it's been pretty hot the past couple of days.

ABM nearly gets a free venison dinner:

The fearless five, (us), rolled into Rapid City around 10am, and less than a mile from the interstate, we're on full brake knockdown to avoid three little deer. Just skid marks, (don't ask me where), no accident, but it was close. If you can hit one in Rapid City, they have to be just about everywhere. Wait until the season opens, you won't see one for weeks.

Rapid cops "crack down" on speeders:

Knock 'em down, get the money while the gettin's good. They set up a concealed trap downtown and grabbed them some fine ticket money. Gee, just for us? Shouldn't you dudes be thinning out the deer population?

You stole my what?

ABM's postman had his sissybar pad stole off his bike late last night on Main Street, Sturgis. The wrench put it on so tight, the po figures it musta took the freakin' thief ten minutes to get it off. Geez, a 20 dollar pad? We warn bikers every year to watch their stuff. Yeah, if they want it bad enough, they'll get it, but why make it easy for the low lifes?

Crowd continues to grow:

We're sticking with this one being more like the 65th Sturgis run. Lots of bikers. The campgrounds far away from town were nearly empty last year. When you ride out to Hill City, Keystone, and Custer this year, each and every little whistle stop has bikers. Bars, vendors, eateries are doing well. Good luck to the BC hot dog vendor selling gas station dogs, a bag of chips, and a soda for $8.00. How many shots of tequila do I have to drink before that looks like a real bargain?

The tippy-toe-stop-n-go 2 column line of bikes leaving the major campground area east of Sturgis stretched for miles yesterday. If you don't want to get stuck in traffic, you got to get outta the campground by at least 8:30 or 9am. After that, you may as well wait until noon. Yeah, it's crowded. How can you tell? The hot water shower boiler broke down twice so far. That hasn't happend in three or four years.

ABM is headed up into black gold country to interview today. If you see us, come on over and tell your story. Check back often for updates from the 2 wheel capitol of the wild wild west!
