Todays pics above on facebook.
Today started out to be a fantastic day weather wise. I was so happy I didn't have to wear my hard cardboard coat. I can barely function in. We didn't even get out of town and a couple cool places popped up in front of us... like HOT LEATHERS.. Crikey was I tempted but I talked myself out of it as I didn't have to wear that thing for most part of the day.. We bought a few little trinkets like patches and pink mohawk hair in case I lost my pony tail, which I almost did.
We went to Black Hills HD.. and of course, I did my speel once again. The lady that manages it was just so lovely.. Instantly said, sorry I don't know anything about it, but could I mail you something or give you some small items that would fit in your saddle bags. She gave us.. 3 cosmetic bags with items in them. Very very nice of her. I tell you ..I was hard pressed to fit those in the knooks and crannys of the bike.
While I was there, I had to get a clutch adjustment.. Something just wasnt right for some reason.. Anway, the fixed it up nice, and it is all good. I had to do a little show in the parking lot of course to see if it works.. I talked up RIDE LIKE A PRO gave them all a card and said tell them Flo sent ya..
The first ride we took was a nice windy road to Vanocker Canyon. It was like doing big huge cone weaving.. Push push push... I was watching Tanya just roll through them. I was thinking about all the gals down in Dragon land and how much they would have enjoyed these roads today.. Twist but not stressful.
We went to Mnt Rush more as you will see in the pics..The ride was not long but nice, and it was getting overcast and great chance of rain., and thunder showers. We had a decent lunch took lots of pics. The sculpture is totally amazing to see. We've all seen pictures, but when you see it in realy life, it is somthing else.,
It did start to rain, and we decided against Badlands today. Hopefully we can do that tomorrow if it is not raining too bad. Decision was to stay another day in this area HTBD!!!
We did do about 100 miles of twisties anyways and sight seeing so it was a nice relaxing day.. So whey are we exhausted again..lol A good exhaustion.
We were going to go back to our cheap hotel in Sturgis, but lil ol Keystone here ,by Mnt Rushmore looked so interesting,that I suggested we get a room here. It is a nice place, but we are sharing a queen size bed to save 30 bucks. All we do is blog and sleep andway and the first one that gets to sleep is the lucky one so we don't hear the other snore..lol
So off we went down to the lovely streets of Keystone. As you know everyone talks to us about this and that. This place is so friendly. The very first store we stopped in the sweet little old lady gave us $5.00 for the fund.
We meandered up the streets and sat out this one place called DAKOTA LEATHER OUTLET!! There was some nice inexpensive leather bags, that I could use on the seat and tie down.. Motorman, please stop shaking your head ;).. I know, I like to ship things.. I sent yours home and this is just a little itty bitty thing to make my life more simple... again.
Back to my story.. this nice talkative fella was out side yacking to us and we started talking about the bags, this and that, and then of course out came the speel. I have never seen anything like it myself... I said so would you care to donate a little something?? He jumped right in and said, "Of course I would" I told him I would give him and adress to see where the money is donated and he said.. no problem and biker has never ever done me any wrong. How cool is that?? He gave us a gorgeous leather vest with tassles!! He gave me the HD batterie lit up hat.
I just want to say if you ever go to Keysone near sturgis or Mnt Rushmore pleas stop in and see Barry L. Fretz.. He is a real nice generous guy and has tons of cool stuff with great prices.
Thankyou Barry!!
