We laid low during Sturgis Motorcycle Rally week. We were very productive during our down time. We got both rigs washed, caulking checked and replaced as needed, and waxed. It took Monday through Friday to get both rigs done and boy, do they shine! It is nice knowing that other than "touch-ups", no major outside cleaning needs to be done for six months.
We ventured out to lunch and were able to get these pictures. The locals said that there weren't as many motorcycles as in the past. From what we heard and saw, we were pretty darn impressed. None of us have ever seen so many motorcycles in one area at the same time. When we headed home from playing cards at Rick and Y around 11 p.m. or so, the campground was quiet. Come around 7 a.m. it was another story as motorcycles were started up and then headed out for their rides. Sleeping in was not really possible this week.
Here is a shot of how motorcycles lined the center of the street through Custer.

Thousands of Harleys, Hondas, etc. were on display throughout town. The sweet little number that caught my attention was called Stallion by Thoroughbred Motorsports. It even had a cute trailer to match. This little number can be yours starting at $32,995, Too bad we don't have a way to tow it (just kidding). For those that like this kind of information, I found the following information on the trike from the web "The trike is powered by a 2.3-liter Ford four-cylinder engine. The engine produces 155 horsepower and 160 ft-lbs. of torque, according to Motor Trike, which Thoroughbred says will give the Stallion the power-to-weight ratio of a Mustang GT. " I guess you can say it has got some get up and go!
Faye and Marshall decided to take the drive up to Sturgis to check the Rally out. They said it was so crowded with no place to park that they didn't stop. It took them 30 minutes to get to the other side of town (normally a 5 minute drive). The most risque thing they saw were scantily clad girls in bikini's offering to wash motorcycles. Faye and Marshall said it was one of those been there, done that kind of things. They were amazed at all the motorcycles they saw coming and going. Faye said it was in the thousands and I believe it.
