Sturgis Stories You Ain't Heard..
From the ABM Vault of Rally Observations:
Weird Weedwhacker?
Imagine a brown field with here and there, tufts of sweet alfalfa, about one foot squares, springing up, amongst mainly dry grass. ABM is on the way to a morning shower, and notices a dude with a motorized weed whacker, trimming the alfalfa sprouts! Never having even considered taking a garden tool to an MC run, we are baffled by this one..
Kid Rock Detests "American Idol"?
During a stop 'n' chat at the BC's Tuesday eve sold out show, Kid mentioned having been approached by "American Idol". We guess he meant as a "judge", ala Steven Tyler? Kid said his friends..(and we get "agent", from that), told him he was crazy to turn it down..that 30 million people watch the show every week. Kid says.. "I don't give a ---- about them 30 million people, I want the 270 million of 'em that know the show sucks." (his words, not ours). One could get the feeling that there may be some sort of slight animosity between Kid & Tyler?
It'd be funny if it wasn't so stupid:
We meet mc couple in campground. They start talking about Sturgis, and how "300 bikers died there" this year. What? How do you get to 300 deaths from the official count of 9? They reply.."A nurse told us so." We tell them we go every year, give them the rundown on how there were no deaths last year, and that Daytona leads the way in mc related rally deaths with an all time high of 16. They decide that it's time to go back to their campsite. Man... I'm tellin' ya..
Seen sitting "Indian Style", atop a bluff overlooking Tec Nas Pas:
Far northern Arizona. Apache country. Morning sun breaking across a freshly washed desert landscape from the previous night's rainfall. Lone, he sits, gazing out across the sun splashed sand, mesas, and mini ravines..
A lone Apache.
