Day 5 Just couldn't get enough of Sturgis!!

So we are riding on down the road back toward Sturgis and Dan didn't seem like he was going to exit and go into town...I was like...where are you going? He was like...where should I go? I was like...turn into Sturgis!!! :)~ So he did. Not sure if you can tell or not but I love being in Sturgis. I love the electricity of all the people and bikes. The sounds of the loud pipes gives me chill bumps. I was on motorcycle overload each day that we hung out there. It's like Disneyland for me!!! I love it!!



We are walking down the road and I spot this guy and think to myself...you know...I sure haven't taken many pictures of guys on this trip. I decide to snap a pix of him. Thanks Mr. Biker!! :)~




We head back down to Main Street and end up meeting this totally awesome couple from Nebraska. They are not bikers but curious folks who have always wondered what Sturgis was all about. Dan and I are headed to the Oasis to cool down and have some beverages and the couple from Nebraska follow us in and join us at our table. There is Karaoke going on and people are singing a wide range of tunes. As we are sitting at our table laughing and watching everything that was going on around us who should walk in but Willie Nelson. We are all like...Willie...over here. We need your picture. Willie comes over and we all get our pictures taken with him.


Willie gets called up on stage to sing a number and one of his adoring fans just can't help herself. She has to get on stage with Willie and show him her boobies.(Willie was actually a look a like that did a show somewhere in Sturgis I think)
When Willie came back to our table he said to us...That chick got up there with me and when I looked down and saw her tits I forgot the fucking words! LMAO!!! Too funny!

After hanging out at the Oasis for a hour or so we decided to head on over to the Broken Spoke to see what was going on there.








We listened to Jasmine Cain and the Band for a while and then decide to take a trip back down Main Street to the Loud American to listen to the Appetite for Deception Guns and Roses Tribute band. Let me tell you I felt like I was back in the day singing along to each and every Guns and Roses song. And the Axel Rose look a like did the Axel dance really well. :)


It was finally time to leave my Disneyland for the final time this year and head back to Rapid City to rest up before we left to head back to the real world of Johnston, IA.

It was also Dan's last opportunity to get that final boobie photo. LOL
We made our way back to the bike and headed back out on the road toward Rapid City. As we rode further away I got big tears in my eyes...I could feel them falling down my cheeks. I know there is always next year but it's hard to leave a place where you feel so at home. I love ya Sturgis, South Dakota!

Day 4 Back in STURGIS!!

Pictures...oh so many pictures of Sturgis!!


This cute little couple would walk down Main Street hand in hand until a group of men gathered around and pushed her little boyfriend to the side for photos. She looked very young and I heard one guy ask her how old she was. She said she was 18. Guess I'll believe her.






Here is the Loud American where the Hell's Angel was shot by the Iron Pig.


This couple was the couple about Sturgis. We saw them everywhere. There are a couple more pictures of her a post or two back in the Miller Lite Girl contest.

We were hanging out and having fun downtown and good thing that Dan was paying attention to the western sky because I know I wasn't. He suggested that we head back to Rapid City before it stormed. I'm so glad that we did because it turned wicked in Sturgis and a couple people were actually struck by lightening at Glencoe. Here are a couple photos of the storm that Dan captured while I was doing laundry.



In an earlier post I mentioned a story about me and the Kentucky Headhunters. When we first got to Rapid City we had noticed two huge buses and it turned out that they belonged to the Kentucky Headhunters and Black Stone Cherry. So I'm doing laundry and I hear the bus start up. I'm like...they are going to be leaving here soon. I'm walking down the street and I'm going to try to meet them. LOL I'm usually pretty shy but I'm telling you I was in total biker chick diva mode on this trip. Nothing was holding me back...LMAO! So I'm standing across the street and one of the guitar players walks toward the bus. I yell over at him that I enjoyed the show and he thanked me and got in the bus. I stand there for a few more minutes and out walks the lead singer. As he gets closer to the bus I yell over at him that I really enjoyed the show and he couldn't hear me so he walked right up to me and said...What did you say? I told him that I saw the show Monday night and thought it was great...He shock my hand and kept saying...Well thank you honey...thank you so much honey. Then he got in the bus and I walked back and got my laundry.

Ok...so that is it for tonight. Hope you are enjoying the photos and the little stories. I'm having fun telling them and reliving the memories of the trip. I seriously had so much fun!

Sweet Dreams...
IHG! :)

Here is a pix for all you guys!
