We got up bright and early and continued west to join the I90 (on the straight and wide, no curves, lots of speed). With the Harley, Bev was comfy cruising between 120 and 130km/hr (the speed limit was 75 mph...just like the old days). We were making great time until a hail storm with lots of wind and lightning. We're ok with rain, but the hail flung us off for a couple of hours. Bev had to put her neopreme ski-mask on due to her open face helmet. She said it worked well with the hail, but she couldn't see too much of Dave in the wind and heavy rain. In all we covered over 500 km and spent the night in a motel in Mitchell, South Dakota. We could even do our laundry on the premises, book a campground for Rapid City (given the number of bikes on the road, Sturgis has already begun.) We will be at Rapid City/Sturgis for 3 days and may not get to post while there. Bev is lamenting the fact that she doesn't have a leather g-string.

Hi Dave & Bev.
Well it certainly looks like you are having a wonderful time. Hopefully some day I can take a page from your book and make similar trip.
As far as the leather g-string - hmmmm - just remember that sitting in one place for a long time with that kind of "equipment" might have you longing for other less sexy options ... just a thought.
The Harley looks wonderful but it's funny how it always gets top billing (and best photo ops) to the poor Honda. I wonder whether my poor little Piaggio BV500 even appears in the hierarchy?
I hope you have/had fun at the Sturgis.
All the best for fine weather and wonderful roads.

Hi Maryanne: I'm glad you are enjoying our blog and hope you are having a great summer. Believe it or not I haven't thought about waste at all and don't intend to !! If you think the Honda has trouble getting noticed now, we'll arrive at Sturgis tomorrow and we expect to see over 100,000 harleys....so I hope for much. All the best, Dave.
