Cool Made it to Hill City!

Well, I've arrived in Hill City and am sitting in comfort in my cabin, no camping for me, 24 years in the Army took care of that desire. I like comfort these day. The bike ran great except for tha damn check engine light. I think it is still thowing historical codes. I pick up my wife in Rapid City tomorrow, so I'm going early and and let the HD dealership there look at it since it's under warranty. I left Hot Springs this morning and it was raining cats and dogs. Good thing I put on my wet weather gear before I left. I saw a bunch of bikers coming down the road with no helmets and cut off t-shirts! Suckers, looking cool ain't so good sometimes. Hill city is packed with bikes and all kinds of sales going on, but I"m tired, it raining and I dry in the cabin. Got TV, internet, and a good book, and tomorrow night I will have the wife. Looking foward to riding th Black Hills, already saw my first herd of buffalo. Now it's chill time. I will start taking and posting pics as I go. Hope to meet some of you here. I will go to the Throttle on the 1st and 2nd to see if I run into any of you.

Leaving Saturday 0530. Only 729 miles from my house, so it's a long day. Nice to have it behind though, and setting up camp.

Cool deal Guns!! Have fun...BE CAREFUL!

When you ride down Main Street during Sturgis, make sure you put BOTH FEET DOWN at stop signs. Cops WILL give you a ticket if you don't (and they see ya).
