The Black Hills Rally ends

, , , , , , , , / 1 minute of reading /

I have been coming to Sturgis since 1986, and have attended numerous times. The last time I came was in 2006 and I told myself I would not return. Circumstances changed and I found myself meeting Tanya here. Every other time I arrived at the beginning of the rally. This year I came towards the end. Smart move. I met a lot of nice people on this journey, from Wes and Dave of F.I.W.S. to the Anderson’s of Wisconsin, who gave us the idea of staying an additional day. My photo of the day for day 227 is of a …

Yesterday, we took a ride through Spearfish Canyon, visited Deadwood, watched some motocross and visited a very nice petrified forest that happened to be behind our cabin. While at the races I was able to practice my action shots with the Canon and am very happy with the results. I gave a stack of my business cards to a track official that said he knew most of the parents of the racers. If you received one of the cards and came here looking for the photos I took, you are a little early. I am working with a slow connection, …

Sharing Sturgis

Last May, I came through South Dakota and Sturgis with Tanya, and all I could do was talk about how much more fun it would be if we were on a bike, riding down these open roads. Today, we lived the experience. She drove from IN to meet me, and today we went into Sturgis and cruised Main Street. We then rode to Rapid City to hit the Harley dealer as I had gotten a short that caused my tail light to not come on. I suspect it was from this huge bump I hit somewhere in CO. It was …

Sturgis!

Long day yesterday, which is why this post is a day late. I started the day off at the Cheyenne Regional Medical Center for a saline drip. Apparently, I am not as young as I used to be and with the extreme heat I had been dealing with I got severely dehydrated. I thought I had been drinking enough water along the way, but I guess not. My picture of the day for day 224 is of two gentlemen I met at Mule Creek Junction, WY. They were with a group called Free Ice Water Services and they were providing …

Grand Junction

Last night I rode to Mesquite, NV. I stopped in Henderson and met a friend for dinner. He then joined me for about 30 miles. It was the slowest I have ridden this entire trip (but worth it). I started the day off by riding through the Virgin River Gorge on I-15. That place is amazing. I used my helmet cam, so videos will be up after I get home. I happened to have a bug hit my lens with messed up 10 of my 30 videos. My day 222 picture of the day is what a guy looks like …

Sturgis or Bust

Three months ago I took a test ride on a 2010 Harley-Davidson Limited, in Sioux Falls, SD. I was so impressed with the bike that a couple weeks later I owned one. I now have 3,063 miles on it and I am getting ready to more than double that number, beginning now. Day 221 of my photo a day project shows my Limited cleaned, gassed up, packed and ready to go. If you happen to see me, be sure to say hello.

Bath time for baby

Heading out to Sturgis tomorrow, so decided to give the Limited a bath before we leave. I know the first thing I will be looking for when I arrive is a bikini bike wash to get all the grime off her from the ride out there. I have a great route planned and should have some beautiful scenery to photograph and video between here and there. My picture of the day for day 220 is of the Limited after she has been rinsed off, patiently waiting for me to rub her down.

Photos Of Our Third Day In South Dakota [adrotate group=”6″] Our Visit To Custer State Park, Sturgis and Spearfish Today, Tanya and I spent a few hours cruising around Custer State Park. Neither of us had been there before, and thanks to a spontaneous turn and the input of a park ranger that noticed our cameras, we ventured far into the park. It was a wonderful decision as the photos will show. We took another detour north to Sturgis and Spearfish, as I wanted to show Tanya what it was that drove me to ride. I was amazed at what …

Photos From South Dakota, Day Two [adrotate group=”6″] Wall Drug, the Badlands, Bear Country and Mt Rushmore I have probably visited South Dakota ten times prior to this visit, but three places I never checked out were Wall Drug, Badlands National Park and Bear Country USA. Wall Drug is a tourist trap, but to be fair, they don’t gouge the visitor with their prices, so no complaints. I have always meant to visit the Badlands, but never got around to it. We left Wall Drug and headed the seven miles over to the park. I am not sure what the …
