Our home in Rapid City. HTR Black Hills ResortSturgis, SD. So, I booked our time in Rapid City the beginning of this year. I did not think about Sturgis and bike week. Not a real good time to be in the area. I was told around 500,000 people show up for bike week!! Way too may people for me but, it was still a good area for site-seeing. The day before the opening parade. I won’t be anywhere near here for the parade.There was a really cool motorcycle museum in Sturgis. Lots of old Harleys and many other brands. I saw this one and remembered how much I wanted one in 1974! I told Mary “you know you are old when you have ridden several motorcycles that are in museums now!”My father had one of these in the late 60’s. This is a Honda 305 Dream. His was red. He bought it from the Shriners. He would ride it to work. I remember riding on the back with him. I was probably around 10 years old.

Great timing on Sturgis. I don’t blame you for being long gone for the parade. But I bet you loved looking at those old bikes. Sounds like and interesting place.
We have lots of fun exploring new places. I love traveling the state highways. State highways do take their toll on the RV. Most state highways are a little rougher but the tradeoff is worth it. We have maintenance/repairs on the trailer scheduled in September. It’s still under warranty so not too big of a deal. Thanks for the comments! Got a lot more pics coming soon.
Thanks for all the comments! I always look forward to them. The repairs are just warranty work repairs, nothing serious. One of the things I have learned, there is always something that needs attention. Rolling down rough roads does cause a lot of things to shake loose.

Thanks for showing the places you park. I love seeing them. Hope the trailer is doing good.

Are the repairs back here in Oklahoma or along the road on your journeys?
