The rump riders are from SF. Their top patch is a rainbow and their bottom patch folds up ...

Sturgis can’t be a race card. There will be bikers of all shapes, sizes and colors there. And, Lord love the ladies that ride their own.

There will be all kinds of riders at Sturgis. Die hard bikers who live on the road, yuppies with trailers full of chrome, and yes Virginia every outlaw club in the nation will be represented.

It was not known if McCain would take a turn at the firing range

Secret Service would have a panic attack!

I may be getting older, but I refuse to grow up. And I may be out to pasture, but God opens new avenues. Just started riding 11 years ago, and I love winding two lanes away from the fast paced world.

If you are not up to a two wheeled cycle, find a well designed trike. Getting in the wind will give you a whole new outlook on life.

I have never wanted to be among those that haunt Sturgis this week each year, until now. God bless ‘em all.

The annual motorcycle rally - from August 4-10 this year - is one of the country’s largest, with a reputation for notorious and outrageous behaviour.

Argus leader BS along with the comparison to the Obama crowd draw. The Sioux Falls Argus Leader is not worth using as TP.

Oh, I almost forgot, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is hands down the largest of its kind in the world, and draws folks from all over the world.

The supposed notorious and outrageous behavior is pretty tame compared to that of twenty five years ago, but the “journalist” doing the writing probably wasn’t yet born twenty five years ago.

Good morning, Wita.

I second your opinion of the Argus Leader. It’s trash. I’ve lived in the Black Hills for nearly 40 years and have watched the Rally grow and change over that time. I always look forward to it. I have several biker friends and family members who camp out on our acreage every year. They and their friends, are without fail, courteous, respectful, patriotic and very conservative.

Our two sons are planning on being at the “Chip” tonight, so perhaps I will have an “after action” report.

Drive safely this week around the Hills. In my opinion, the Hogs have the right-of-way.

A cheery cloudy morning to ya. Hoping for that in person after action report from your sons. I’m going to check with Pennington Co Republicans this morning to see if there is an arrival time and landing party.

I got here in 1979 and don’t think I have missed one yet. The biggest change over time seems to be the spread to every major town in the Black Hills, and the transition from bad biker rally to family motorcycle event.

Like the Rolling Thunder event in DC over Memorial Day weekend. You get pretty much a cross-section of America. A few bad apples, no doubt, but I've never seen any real trouble in DC during those events (guess even the hardass outlaw clubs have respect for the event, or they don't want to mess with Federal policy agencies in DC).

Note to MSM

McCain attends biker rally where MOST MOTORCYCLISTS VOTE.

And one not too far from Mt. Rushmore. I bet that gets woirked into McCain's itinerary.

Vets of Iraq, Afghan wars fight to win seats in Congress (Bill Russell)

Moments after Army Lt. Col. William Russell ended his 28-year military career, the Iraq war veteran revved up his Harley-Davidson and set out on an improbable journey.

In his first political outing, Russell is trying to topple a political giant.

The 45-year-old Republican this weekend kicked off his campaign against U.S. Rep. John Murtha, 76, of Johnstown, a powerful Democrat and decorated Vietnam War veteran seeking a 19th term.

I haven't been to the rally for a decade and a half. My first time was in the early 1980s as a 17 year old on a Yamaha Virago with a handful of friends on other ricers. My last time was on my lovingly-restored Triumph Trident that was as old as I was.

My Trident was well received (I found some others and Rocket3s) and there were plenty of people who just plain loved bikes. Yes, there were gangs (notably the Banditos) but you were just as likely to run into a band of Hell's Accountants... I don't go any longer but my dentist and my attorney both do!

I have friends that live in the area and go on vacation during the rally. The main reason for their timing is they rent their house out to rally goers. It rents through an agency for several thousand dollars and they only throuble they've ever had was a couple of years ago their gas grill tank was empty...

McCain could get some press here if he bares his breasts for the crowd.

He’ll be lucky to get 5,000 at the Buffalo Chip. First, the place is disgusting. Second, you have to pay to get in. I’m sure the press will get plenty of drunk women flashing McCain if he’s numb enough to go up on stage with that crowd.

(Don’t ask me how I know these things)
