STURGIS, S.D., Aug 03, 2003 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Convicted Watergate figure G. Gordon Liddy has set up shop here for the town's annual motorcycle rally.

Liddy, 72, rode his 2003 Harley-Davidson 1,846 miles from the Washington, D.C., area to Sturgis, arriving Thursday night. He planned to take part in book and calendar signings, a motorcycle ride from Mount Rushmore to the Buffalo Chip Campground and will broadcast his daily radio show.

In nearby town of Deadwood, the mayor has decided to designate Monday as G. Gordon Liddy Day in the gambling town.

On Thursday, Gov. Mike Rounds will proclaim August 7 as "G. Gordon Liddy Day" in South Dakota.

Liddy served four years and four months in prison for his role in the 1972 break-in at Democratic Party headquarters at the Watergate.

Jeff Jones, president of G. Gordon Liddy Network Productions, joined Liddy, a group of friends, business associates, a film crew and some calendar models for the ride.

"He rode it all the way," Jones said of Liddy. "I can't believe how well he did. He's in the best shape of his life."

Gee, I'm sure the next article written about clinton will begin with, "The impeached, disbarred ex president", NOT.

[PokeyJoe]

yeah, nice observation - and the NOT part is particularly accurate.

OMG! I thought this was about Liddy Dole.

I had visions of Liddy in a tank top with tattooed arms, and Bob on back with a pony tail, tossing free samples of Viagra.

Heart, be still...

[Larry Lucido]

I hope I'm in half as good a shape at age 72.

[The Great RJ]

I don't think Clintoon would get a good reception in Sturgis or anywhere else out here in SD. Besides nude beaches and the Playboy mansion are more his style.

Convicted Watergate figure

Every where you turn these days there's a reference to watergate. The dems are desperately seeking an issue that'll stick.

LOL>> There goes a mouthful of rose wine all over my flat screen monitor..

He rode his Harley. That's more than you can say about most of the HD riders there. ;-)

"He rode it all the way," Jones said of Liddy. "I can't believe how well he did. He's in the best shape of his life."

Gordon is a fighter, but I'll bet dollars to donuts it wasn't a Sportster he was riding! His butt would have fell off somewhere around Ohio! And the Buffalo Chip Campground is well known for it's late night - um, err,,, Fun! Yeah, fun! That's it!

He used to comment on his show about his HD Fatboy. But I haven't been able to hear G. Gordon for a couple of years. He may be riding a new model these days.

We used to get his show here (rural area) but he got replaced with Neal Boortz. Anyway, he advertised some human growth hormone that he said kept him healthy, etc. Of course, he also exercised, had a rigid diet, and the usual. So who knows if it's the HGH or the diet and exercise?

Pathetic, isn't it? The median age in America is 35. That means well over half the population has no memory of Watergate.

[JoeSixPack1]

Here we go again,,, That pic shows a cross over exhaust so I would say that's a new Heritage, w/silver & black 100th anniv paint, hard to tell. But Fatboy exhaust has duals on the right side only and the taillight is a tombstone which is stock with the Heritage.

I'm get dizzy trying to figure all this out with these non-biker knowin' photographers!! It's discrimination I tell ya!!! How's a freak like me supposed to figure this stuff out????

hehehheee
Ride safe all!

[A Navy Vet]

Looks like a Heritage to me. BTW, you can bet Liddy isn't staying at Buffalo Chip.

[BraveMan]

You aced it. Here's a better view.

Jean Kerry had a photo op last week, where he appeared from around a corner, on his motorcycle. It was such a staged event-he probably was helped onto the bike and given enough of a push to make it to the photographers. A poufy haired, anti military Frenchman is still a poufy haired, anti military Frenchman,regardless of the vehicle he rode in on.

10 dash 4 on the Heritage, be nice to know if it's a springer or not. And The Buff chip might suit Liddy just fine, ya know - work hard, play hard, stay hard.
