the ride to Vegas

Sturgis was all we thought it might be. Absolutely Fantastic. The people, staff, entertainment, and camp grounds were awesome.

We packed up our camp and cruised out of Sturgis via the small town of Deadwood, the home and resting place of Wyatt Earp. Making our way out of the Black Hills around Sturgis we again ran into some bike trouble. Fortunately the Bus and the local Highway patrol were there to help.  We rode through the grasslands to a small town of Casper were we stayed the night before heading to Salt Lake City.

We hit Salt Lake City with Marshall's bike in the bus with a problem with the primary. We stayed there the night while a local Harley dealership fixed it for us. We left for Vegas in the afternoon of Hamish's 40th birthday.
What a way to spend it. Riding into Vegas, at night on your own custom made chopper!
