STURGIS 2011- Life Changing

I have a whole new respect for Sturgis and Bike Rallies now.  I'm sure that I cannot fully convey it with words, but essentially-  I learned more about freedom, freedom of expression and acceptance than I ever thought possible.  These people go to let loose, mingle with people of like-minds and celebrate a life style that I only now fully understand.  Before, when I thought of bikers, I thought of gangs, rough and tumble guys, violence and leather.  Now, I think of free spirits, artistic souls, open-minded-and yet-guarded citizens and of course...leather.  Everyone should attend a rally at some point, and if you really want the full experience-  work a job at the rally.  You will have a new respect for your own job and how much easier it is!

Here are a few pictures of my Biker Adventure:


We had to ride a shuttle 29 miles to and from work everyday
=New respect for people who take public transportation.



That's time and dedication!  Made me smile everyday!


Bikes, Bikes EVERYWHERE!

For my husband:




Lots of pretty co-workers!



Got to enjoy the Blackhills everyday....


These people got offered $250,000 for their tiny lot and shanty and they said no....That's dedication to Sturgis, right there!


I told you they were pretty:


We have the same eyes!:


An experience I can never, and will never, forget.


There were a few "tags" on the bus at the beginning, but by the end the ceiling was COVERED.


Oh and by the way,  I randomly met Jerry Springer to top it all off.
This trip was just pure randomness, so I'm not surprised lol

Now, unfortunately I have to go to my "real job".  I'm not sure I know how to act "normal" anymore...This could be interesting... ;)

I know this post was over a year ago but it's nice to see someone who's been to my neck of the woods. Sturgis is about two hours from me and I go with my hubs every year! It's such an awesome time!! Glad you enjoyed it!
