On the 6th day of Sturgis

my wallets getting light
but oh the sales were really out of sight!

It may have been the last day of Sturgis but thanksfully not the last day of vacation. It was the last day to take advantage of all the half, third and one fouth off sales!! T-shirts that started the week at $20 each were now 4 or 5 for $20. Even though slim pickings, we found a few good ones. Good thing I stowed away an extra back pack so we could bring back the more than 40 t-shirts that weighed at least 15 lbs and stacked high atop the bike along with our helmets and rain gear. It was nice when we got home no one complained - all I got was this lousy t-shirt - they rocked! After scouring what was left of the sales, Mainstreet was starting to look like a ghost town, as were all the local watering holes for the week but we still stopped in to see the aftermath of 400,000+ bikers that bring 10.5 million dollars to to local economy each year!

We then retraced our steps from the past few days so I could get decent pictures of all the places we had been in better light. Everywhere was pretty empty, but still open, unlike the next day when we found out 1 casino we missed was only open for the week of Sturgis. The Full Throttle was just as impressive in the daylight as it was in the moonlight. Although the Broken Spoke boasted the same sign, i do believe this could be the biggest biker bar in north america!

it was an in door out door bar that was usually absolutely packed, but today, we wandered round and shook our heads at the aftermath. After a ride and a drink and a bite to eat, it was back to the hotel to prepare for our big adventure tomorrow - Hot Springs, SD.
