Sturgis, Deadwood, & Spearfish Canyon

As you might expect the week after the rally, downtown Sturgis was pretty much deserted so I rode out to the Full Throttle Saloon (world's largest biker bar) and the Buffalo Chip (campground).  They were empty also but you could see the potential for some serious partying with a couple thousand of your closest friends.

Gambling has taken over Deadwood.  Almost every store I saw had slot machines.

Spearfish Canyon is another great motorcycle road with winding turns, sheer rock cliffs, and a white water stream running along the highway.

As I exited the canyon, the temperature dropped to 55 degrees.  Just a reminder of how quickly the weather can change here.
