Am going to catch up on 2 days with this report, so yesterday was Tuesday 05.08.2014 and we are still in Deadwood at the Sturgis rally. Today we decided to leave the car at the camp and go 2 up on the bike and go into Sturgis and show Ocker and Speed around then go to a few of the bars. I has steve on the back of my bike and we got there about 10.00 am and the place was humming, found a park ( took photo of street sign so we could find the bike ) and away we went but first up a pizza for breakfast. After that went down the main drag where all the bikes are parked ( I think they park there from about 6.00 am ) and the street was full no parks left ,people every where and hot very hot 32 degree c . So the boys did a bit of shopping then found our bikes and we went and visited the Full Throttle saloon about 2 o'clock ,band playing , body painting, bike riding competition and bikers every where then on to the buffalo chip and and checked out the bar there and met a guy call Scott who is comming to NZ in November . He was staying at the camp the and said their was a concert at the chip the night before and there was a 100000 people in attendance. Just as we were ready to leave the thunder and lightening started and about 5 miles down the road it started to rain and rain so we drove about 15 miles in the heavy rain back to camp and even thought we put on our bike jackets we got as wet as a shag. Back in can't changed and all standing in gazebo decide to go to the bar/ casino across the road and it was happy hour 6 pints for $13.50 so we dried of met some othe wet bikers had a great night and got home about 11.
Today packed up the camp and got on the road about 8 and headed to Soux falls about a 7 hour drive but we side tracked and went throughout the badlands which in now a national park, also a lot of history here as this is where a lot of the outlaws used to hide. Just after we left the park struck rain again but not to heavy and still warm 22 degree. Very boring riding as we are on the 90 free way and all there is to look at is corn fields. So now at a super 8 had tea and now ready for bed.
