Somebody tell me where the summer went!
I can’t believe Sturgis is already upon us. I think our summer up here in the north country seemed to go a little faster because of the cold wet spring we had. The weather would just not let up at all, so once it got nice we try to cram as much fun into a short period of time as we can.
I actually got the chance to take a few days off over the 4th and got some miles under my butt down in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin…..
Here we are at Poopy's! Great food and awesome folks!
Poopy’s was an unexpected surprise on this trip, I had never heard of it and everywhere we went people were telling us to go there. I can’t believe how busy it was. The food was great not to mention the live music and witty T-shirts.
From there we went down to the American Pickers store and let my buddy Randy poke around. He is a big fan of the show and is a bit of an antique archaeologist himself. He is the ugly one…..
One of the most interesting places on our trip was Galena, IL http://www.cityofgalena.org/ This is a great place for food, history and a little shopping for the lady folks. We spent a couple of days here checking out what the area had to offer and it was perfect. The roads in the area, although a little rough at times provided amazing scenery and ample entertainment.
Just one shot of downtown Galena.
Another great ride in Wisconsin is the Wildcat Mountain State Park.. http://www.stateparks.com/wildcat_mountain.html Great riding, lots of twist’s perfect scenery. We got the chance to stop at some Amish farms and meet the locals, very relaxing.
So now we are off to Sturgis! Make sure you stop by and see us if you are in the area. Remember we are in Spearfish right off of I90 at Outdoor Motorsports. They are the large Honda dealer on the frontage road. http://www.outdoor-motorsports.com/ We will have plenty of inventory and look forward to meeting all that stop by.
Have a great summer and safe riding season!
See you on the Road….
