I left this morning around 8am.. I was sure I was going to beat Tanya to Sturgis, as I do have a little more power than her. It was sprinkling when I left so I put on my rain pants, and my pink cardboard coat.. Frack, I hate that thing. Let me tell you I wish I would have listened t the Motorman and taken that lovely tassle jacket he gave me.. This thing is hidious and disgusting as I probably have said a couple times already. I am about to give it away and buy a new one, and am trying to contain myself. The soft pink Harley chaps are falling down now as they have all stretched out. It must be from all that US bug juice. I figured it was time for my electric gear as I was already freezing with 2 shirts a vest and jacke, pants chaps and rain gear..
What a site that was.. frickin wires coming every where, already feelin so damn big that I can barely move.. Now I have to figure out the electrical. People are watching me, saying hello and all. I have all of it on now, and now I need to put my helmet on.. Shit damn, why did I not put it on first.. Try it, I say..try putting a helmet on, when you are the size of an elephant now, and your hands are on fire instantly!! I had to remove the gloves and start all over again to get the helmet on. I almost asked this old man if he would do my helmet up for me, but opted against it.. I would rather suffer I guess.
The electric glove!! They burnt the shit out of me in minutes, as soon as I turned them off, my hands would freeze. Things were pretty okay, as I just had to stay on 90. Stop once in awhile at an exit to gas up. I pulled into the first one, and it was the coolest little place of and 1880 town. All the buildings are original and brought in some where from S Dakota. I could have spent the whole day there, but I knew I had to hussle my butt to meet Vgirl.
The signs that I kept seeing were for the BadLands.. I remember one gentleman at a rest stop told me it was a must. That was in Kadoka. AUnque park featuring the badlands larget petrified trees, logs fossils and fluorescent minerals. I really want to go back there tomorrow and show Tanya, if I remember correctly it is only about 60 miles.
When I was leaving the bad lands, it seemed to take forever and I was seeing no signs of 90. I thought for sure I was going to the interior of SD.. Oh dear.. When I stopped to take pics there was a man, so I asked him and he reassured me I was not lost........yet! God it was gorgeous.. I so wish someone was there to share the sights with.
Okay Flo, get on the road again.. Next destination..Rapid City Harley Dealership. 30 miles from Sturgis exit 55. I remembered that as that is the year I was born.. Easy Peasy...not!!!
As soon as you pull off 55 there is a HUGE HD SIGN... Right on, I thought,, Jenn is gonna be so proud of me as I come back with a couple t shirts or what ever to sell. heck, I am getting brave asking for stuff all on my own. By this time I had just traveled over 650 miles and 3 states, and didn't get lost!! Whoo hoo, I was even proud of me.. I kept glancing over there with all the heavy traffic, and there was not a bike to be seen. Only brand new machinery. Ithought to myself, it has to be down the road a little, that was just a major warning sign. I knew most dealerships were not far off the interstates. So.. I ride, and ride, and look and watch, and then, when I realized no HD, TO BE HAD.. I just followed the road and thought, interstate 90 would show up again. nope... I was headed for the Black Hills.. Twisties and curves, higher and higher, and colder and colder, and no pull offs.. Shit again, whey oh why, does it go this way when i try so hard.
Now I have this cardboard coat on and uturns are not the easiest to do in this gear.. Simple... 3 techniques, and don't look over there Flo as ya sure as hell don't want to go there. The coast was clear........I did it, went back the way I came, I thought and ended up in some frickin residential area on anothe damn hill. My nerves were starting to get to me.. The log and short of it is.. I went to a mall, pulled out the maps, didn't understand shit, cuz Ididn't know where I was. I aske a girl, took a wrong turn, ended up in a hotel, asked another guy, he sent me in another direction, I turned to early, had to do another damn Uturn.
I'm done leading.. I found that sob 90 again, gunned it to Sturgis and was never so happy to see a familiar face and bike.. Whoo hoo the Island grls are together..
Lead the way Missy!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are at the Days Inn, in the pet rooms, bottom floor so our bikes are right out the door..we are organizing, and bloggin of course..
Tomorrow should be a great day,... I need one and so does she, none of this power riding.. Some sun, twisties and laughs and pics.
Stay tuned.
