2008 Western Adventure
Day 10 - June 29, 2008
When I went outside this morning I was blessed
with a perfect day. Them temperature was in the 70's, not a
cloud in the skies, and best of all....no wind. By the time I
had breakfast (an English Muffin and apple juice) and packed the
bike it was well into the
Highway 85 south is another long stretch that runs from the Badlands of North Dakota to the Black Hills of South Dakota. As I approached the Black Hills area I noticed a distinct change in scenery. It was getting greener and there were more trees, and of course, there were more hills. I decided to stay in Sturgis for the evening, and found a great little mom and pop motel called the Star-Lite Motel off of Highway 90, Exit 32. After I got settled into my room I decided to ride around for a while. Away from the main drag, Sturgis is a pretty city nestled in the hills. Of course, the thing that is most evident about the city, was the number of biker bars. Sturgis is well known for it's annual motorcycle rally. Unfortunately, I had unpacked my bike so I didn't have my camera with me. I'll have to get some pictures tomorrow morning before I leave. I did manage to stop at a couple of the biker bars, the Full Throttle Saloon and The Knuckle Saloon. I'm sure they were very quiet compared to the rally week, which is in August.
