Day 6: Sturgis 2022

(C) 2013, JJ Shaun Today was relatively quiet. We took a short ride up to Hill City and walked up and down Main Street. We were looking for Rally shirts for the family. We had a light meal at the Bumpin’ Buffalo Bar and Grill before riding the Old Hill City Road into Keystone. (C) … Continue reading Day 6: Sturgis 2022

Days 4 and 5: Sturgis 2022

(C) 2013, JJ Shaun The temperatures were predicted to climb into the triple digits on Thursday, so we decided to run errands instead of riding. My chore was to get my light bulbs replaced and the cooling system checked on my bike. I feel like she’s been running hotter than she should (not into the … Continue reading Days 4 and 5: Sturgis 2022

Days 2 and 3: Sturgis 2022

(C) 2013, JJ Shaun We’ve been running our butts off the last couple of days. On Tuesday, we rode to Sturgis to get the missing vest patches. I only needed a couple of the “I Rode Mine” year patches, but First Reader needed a lot more than I did. We headed back to Black Hills … Continue reading Days 2 and 3: Sturgis 2022

Day 1: Sturgis 2022

Sunday, our little pack rode north to South Dakota to walk the streets of Sturgis for a minute, then spend the rest of the week riding the Black Hills. The ride was cooler than usual and windy. We were glad it wasn’t blazing hot, but we could have lived without the headwind. We rolled into … Continue reading Day 1: Sturgis 2022

How I Spend My Summer Vacation

(C) 2019, JJ Shaun Every year, with very few exceptions, First Reader and I ride our motorcycles to Sturgis, SD to attend the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. We look forward to this week of riding. It’s the highlight of our summer. I started my riding journey on a 1987 700cc Honda Magna. It was pre-owned, with … Continue reading How I Spend My Summer Vacation

Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 46

First Reader and I have spent the week riding motorcycles and relaxing in a cabin in the Black Hills of South Dakota. And for those of you asking, yes, this is during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Yes, we are staying masked when in crowds. In fact, I’ve taken to riding with my mask on. (C) … Continue reading Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 46

Cruisin’ the Black Hills

Last week a small group of us rode our motorcycles to the 80th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in western South Dakota. Many of our friends and family were concerned that the event would be a free-for-all for covid, and in some respects, they were right. It probably will be a super-spreading event. Because of that, … Continue reading Cruisin’ the Black Hills

Looking Back on a Summer Vacation

First Reader and I have spent many summer vacations traveling the western US from the saddles of our iron ponies. Back in 2008, a group of friends approached us about taking a two-week motorcycle trip to Yellowstone National Park. We thought it would be fun since we love to ride, and I had never been … Continue reading Looking Back on a Summer Vacation
