We passed on the bikini bike wash and oil change. I'm still trying to figure out why you would want to try and change the oil in a bike while wearing a bikini but this "is" Sturgis after all. :-)
We made it to Main Street and even at 11:00 am it was difficult finding any parking spaces and we had to park several blocks away.
Vendors of all types line the streets selling just about everything. We saw motorcycle parts, t-shirts, hats, sunglasses, helmets, and even one booth selling ..... ahem...."marriage assist devices". Yep, Sturgis has just about everything! :-)
We found a spot for lunch where we could watch the parade of people and bikes driving by.
We all enjoyed our day but Sturgis "after dark" is something we have agreed to avoid so we left in the early afternoon to make our way home.
Tuesday Rudee and I made another ride passing through Sturgis once again. We arrived early and I had the mufflers replaced on our bike to give it a little more "rumble". Once that was completed we headed West and ended up doing a drive by of Devils Tower. We have visited the park in years past so this was just another scenic ride for us.
We made it back home just before a thunderstorm opened up on us, another great day motorcycling in the Black Hills. :-)
Work will start slowing down some now that the kids are starting back to school and the vacation season will be coming to a close. All of us work campers are starting to realize our time together is coming to an end. Some are considering coming back for another year here while others are researching their next summer destinations. Most are wintering someplace warm after visits with family or maybe a side trip on the way South. In our case we have only 7 more weeks and our contract will be up. Let's see what we can get into next. I'll keep you posted.
ps: this is the end...... "Sturgis Style"! :-)
Oh my, gulp :) So where are the pictures of guys' bare butts? Hmmm? :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe they wear bikinis so that they don't get oil and water on their regular clothing. It would reduce the volume of laundry. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat last picture would NEVER be me.
Won't want the leather seat to be sitting in the sun too long!!!!
