Default Baggin' the Badlands

Got a ride in today. Rode out to the Badlands and back. Good day! Very hot though.





















Just a short little 177 mile trip. Stopped in Wall on the way home....place is already filling up with Sturgis visitors.

Just did an off road ride with your older bro. trying to talk him into riding his killer to Sturgis but he just laughs. We are going to be camping on the east end of Sturgis right off the east exit in someones yard so hopefully we can meet and do a ride. The guy I am going with works with your bro presently.
