Why was it so
hard to get a hotel within a 200 mile radius of Mount
Rushmore
in early August, 2003? The answer is -- it was the Sturgis Biker
Rally in the Black Hills. Picture it -- thousands and thousands of
bikers riding on the highways. I think we were the only car. And
guess who got pulled over? Yup! We broke the following law: When a
police car is on the shoulder of the highway, you can't pass in the
right lane -- you must go to the left lane first, and then move back
to the right lane. Brilliant! Well, hundreds
of bikers laughed at us as they sped by helmetless. Here is my
friend Nedug driving with bikers on his left. I would have taken
part in the festivities, but I think they would have outraced my Big
Wheels.
