Sturgis Skulls

The 71st Annual Sturgis Bike Rally officially ended Sunday...it's always fun to see the bikes pouring in and it's always nice to have traffic back to 'normal', heh. Now for the four-wheeled tourist traffic to die down...can you say, Mt. Rushmore? Anyway, the Huz and I owned various Harleys for about twelve years, until '08, and before the Harleys we had other bikes...we still go to Sturgis during bike week to check out the bikes and nosh on some vendor food...this year we checked out some custom bikes...clearly skulls are a popular theme...


...There was an orange skull...


...Hard to see but the white designs all have skulls...


 Skull and angels, hmm.....



...A sea creature like the one in Pirates of the Caribbean...looks skull-ish...


 ...Even the seat can have custom skulls carved in leather...and some foul language...oopsie...


...A charming trio of skulls....



This is what Main Street in Sturgis looks like during bike week...no cars allowed.

I haven't been out w/ the camera stalking nature very much at all this year, but hopefully I'll follow thru on the threat to get out real soon.

  1. It sure is quiet this morning, isn't it?
    The skulls and cherubs is kind of a mixed metaphor of some sort, I think.

  2. Cool! A lot of time and effort goes into that skull artwork. Wow, look at all of those bikes on Main Street! I've heard Sturgis is quite something. Hope you had fun!

  4. Now that's a lot of bikes! We sometimes have a string of about 100 motorcycle drive through the area. Most are Harleys. All are loud. It's fun to watch them, though. I really like that first bike.
