Dear Friends, I am officially on vacation out in South Dakota at the biggest party in the USA. There are well over 150,000 motorcyclists out here in the Black Hills riding the hills, shopping for t-shirts and gear, people watching and going to any of dozens of venues for live music.
Small Dog customer Bonnie London manages the VIP section at the famous Buffalo Chip campground and she hooked Grace, Tony and I up with special access tickets for the shows. Last night we went to see Orianthi ( a very special guitarist that totally rocked the place), Bob Dylan and Kid Rock. We were right in front of the stage and I posted some pictures on our Flickr page. This is a huge shout out to Bonnie for the very special treatment and an opportunity to listen to a great set by the “soundtrack for my life,” Bob Dylan.
Tony, Grace and I rode over to Wyoming today to visit Devil’s Tower and drove through some spectacular country. The people out here are so hospitable and friendly. The motorcyclists from all over the world were just as friendly and it’s a good thing, because it is crowded here in the Black Hills. I met a man from Connecticut that had the identical motorcycle as mine (there are only 100 like it), and as we compared notes at Devil’s Tower, we discovered we had almost exactly the same mileage on our bikes (within 10 miles!).
Okay, back to your regularly scheduled programming…
