Hey all,
It was nice meeting all of you this past few weeks. Thanks to all for everything! You are a great bunch of guys. I am honored to call you my friends. It is a comforting feeling knowing that I have people to count on in this world!
I am in the Cleveland area now visiting with my cousin and will be here for the better part of the week. Not sure when I will leave. It will depend largely on the weather forecast for the trip home.
Sturgis was absolutely WILD! I will never go back during bike week because I hate traffic and crowds. Nevertheless, it was a sight to behold. Something that I am glad I did.
Weather for the trip was unusually good. I stayed dry for the most part. No real torrential downpours. I did lose my gaiters on the way home. I guess they slipped out of the bungees I had them stuffed into. I just bought a new pair at the Harley dealer for $50! That was a costly mistake!
If you have never cruised the Badlands of SD on a bike, you have not lived! It was an absolutely memorable experience. Antelope, deer, mountain goats, buffalo, road runners, jack rabbits and rattlesnakes are just a sampling of the wildlife I saw.
Below are a few pics from South Dakota. A really cool state and if I ever moved, I would seriously consider that place!
Thanks again to all!
