So far, nine injured from bike crashes at Sturgis and 4 from a bike leaving the stage and going into the crowd at The Buffalo Chip. Sounds like a good time.

Good morning again fellers. Got my road work done and waiting for the dew to dry a little bit.

Yep!

I went to Sturgis once and that was enough for me. Too many people and too expensive for this old hillbilly. Little Sturgis here in KY used to be (and still is I hear) a hell of a party and a very old school biker gathering, but I haven't been to it in years either.

Since I pretty much gave up drinking, all I want to do at a rally is look at the bikes and babes and then split.

Morning all, Sturgis can be fun but all the crowds get to me after a couple days.

Damn! Roland sure looked like a rookie right there! I heard him say there were no front brakes on he bike, but were there no rear ones either?


WTF?
