Liddy Roars Into Sturgis, S.D. Biker Fest

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."

You're gonna get a softtail!

They're low and wide and smooth, and with the 88B counter-balanced engine they're just right! But I think 2004 or maybe even 2003 is the last year for the Springer like Liddy has pictured above.

Good luck, enjoy the quest, and find the right one. :-)

Honda builds Gold Wings, Valkyries, VTX and Shadows with over a 1000cc engine in Ohio. They use over 90% US parts with US workers too. I think those bikes qualify as US made. ;-)

Yeah, I know all that stuff, heard it like, forever... Harley probably has more jap stuff than Honda nowadays, but doesn't a homecoming take you to the beginnings?

( I'm not trying to insult, but I am trying to humorously instigate-- ) <|:-)~~

I'll make it to Sturgis one day...and I'll ride all the way. What's the point if you don't? I don't get it.

Exactly. That's like taking an airline into Appleton, WI, renting a plane, and then flying into Oshkosh!

Veddy interesting. Met a guy in Custer SD just last week who was riding a Vincent. Well actually he was working on it, because something was wrong. He was headed for the international vincent convention somewhere in BC, Canada. He owned 5 Vincents, but only had two with him, a 55 and 57 model.
