Wednesday was a very busy day. We headed out to Devil’s Tower in Wyoming. It’s simply amazing! Pictures don’t do it justice. The road out to Devil’s Tower reminded me a little of Needle’s Highway. Lots of twistys and high altitudes. It was not a ride for a newbie. I was glad that Dan had many miles under his belt for this trip. You really do put a lot of faith in someone when you are a passenger.
After taking in Devil’s Tower we headed into Hulett and No Panties Wednesday. I think everyone that road a motorcycle was in Hulett on Wednesday. The town was jam packed. If we would have gotten there early in the day we would have stopped but parking was miles away from Downtown. We stopped and had lunch in a town called Aladdin, population of 15. It was great because they let the bikers pretty much take over. We made our way back toward Sturgis or so we thought. There was one point that I seriously thought we were lost out in the middle of nowhere. We finally came to a road and a road sign that told us to turn right to Sturgis. I could see Bear Butte in the distance so I knew we were on track again. We passed this couple and later Dan said to me, “Did you notice she didn’t have a shirt on?” LOL
We parked on a side street in Sturgis and headed to the Broken Spoke Saloon for a beer. We were both beat and needed a break. After we cooled down and did some good people watching we headed back to Rapid City for a few hours. We headed back to Sturgis later on in the evening because it was the Fryed Brothers Band night. Thanks to KT Did for showing up for a few minutes so that we could say hello. KT is everything I thought she’d be…one cool biker chick! I went and looked for the lead singer of the Fryed Brothers Band, Harry Fryed so that I could give him a pin I had made. I was so lucky because he was walking out from backstage. I walked right up to him and said…”Hi, I would like to give you this pin!” He was like…”What does it say? I can’t read it. You’ll have to tell me what it says.” “Well, it says…I’m an Old Dirty Biker.” He laughed and said…”Well Darlin’, I’m glad you think I am.” OMG…he is so damn cute! Loved the beard and loved the music! If you get a chance go see them…AWESOME!
Before the Fryed Brothers there was cage fighting…ok…I guess there wasn’t really a cage but I’m not too skooled when it comes to people beating each other up for money.
