Anton and I rode his motorcycle out to South Dakota for Bike Week in Sturgis. Since we would be camping, we needed

to take plenty of gear. So Anton went to the Ace Hardware and geri-rigged the bike - erector set style. READY!

STEADY!

GO!

I now understand the whole "one glove" fashion. It helps cushion the VROOM

We made frequent stops to stretch and explore. This is a tin cup and taxidermy flea market.

A huge hazard for a the motorcyclist is animals. Cows have a messed up way of processing visuals: their

pea brain thinks the single object before them is actually two (one for each eye) and they don't know

in which direction to dodge. We heard horror stories of bikers getting killed by cows: God's stupidest creature.

Rain is another pain in the neck but we met these nice space people who put a rain drop fuled force field around the bike.

We also had to watch out for PeeWee Junior Motos.

I got misty when we rode up on fields and fields of sunflowers. Thanks Crisco!

We would stop and have many roadside picnics that featured mouth tacos.

And then, like the skin-flap on a healing burn, we'd be off.

 

 

JUST YOU AND A HELMET AND YOUR THOUGHTS
