Day two in Sturgis and man was it EXPENSIVE (but fortunately not for us)!  We noticed as we piled onto the bike in the morning that the rear tire was a little worn.  Actually we could have sold it as a drag slick!  The wear it's been recieving with us riding "two up" and with 700-800 lbs of gear just melted the rubber away.  If you don't think our gear is heavy - it actually broke our chrome rack about a week ago and we also needed to replace it today too.  Fortuantely Sturgis is the place to buy anything and everything for motorcycles.  We got a new rack, got new tires and did it all while we sat in a bar and threw dollars at the strippers.  Best of all, we didn't even have to pay for the tires since we used a credit card one of the strippers gave us that she lifted off some guy from Guam!

Since our dorm room is 30 miles from Sturgis, we left late in the afternoon and headed back to shower and wander out for hot night in Rapid City.    That's when things started to go downhill.   The first place we went was a local bar that had different specials for every day of the week.  Tuesday is "Pounder Night," and we both had a wonderful idea of what that meant, but  let's just say that it wasn't even close to what they had in mind.  When Kevin made our suggestion to the bar girl (and told her our drom room number) she slapped him,  screamed obscenities at Stacy and had some of the local union employees drinking at the bar toss us out.  It wasn't pretty, but we both feel that our idea of "Pounder Night" would have been allot more fun!

Next we staggered over to another odd place that advertised "Steak in a Sack."  The idea seemed so intriguing that we just couldn't resist.    It turns out that again we were wrong with what we thought it was all about.    We're gonna just leave our interpretation here to your imagination, which is what we should have done at the food place since when we made our suggestion they started screaming at us in some foriegn language and threatening us with very sharp knives.  Look, Rapid City is a confusing place.  Even it's name implies something which it apparently isn't.  Between the two of us we have in excess of five years of public education and we're still confused, so tomorrow we're gonna hit the road and we'll post here again from...

Look - we all know what "Pounder Night" should mean!             "Steak in a Sack!" - We have vivid imaginations!
