Cool My time in Sturgis

Well, my time in Sturgis has run out. I have to get back to work on the 6th, but it's been a great 10 days! My wife flew out on the 27th, and we have been to Sturgis, Badlands, Crazy Horse, Mt. Rushmore, and many other sites. We have shopped and partied in Hill City, Sturgis, Deadwood, and Lead.
We got up every morning and went to breakfast, then rode until night time, had dinner, watched the people, did some partying and in general had one of the best vacations we've had in a long time. She flew out this morning, and I leave tomorrow. I have to be at work on the 6th at the military institute in Roswell, so it's time to shave off the goatee, get a haircut, and get back into the ACU's and teach the kids (depressing).

The weather is great, bikes of all kinds are everywhere. I took a lot of pics, and will post them when I get home. If you came, enjoy, if you didn't try to get here next year, riding if you can or trailer it and enjoy the beauty of the Black Hills. Be safe, peace!
