Monday morning the 24th I pulled up to Sturgis Motorsport for a tire repair right at the opening bell but was already late to the party.
Turns out another BMW rider was first in line for a new back tire as well.
Everything worked out great and I was able to meet some other travelers while waiting for the new tire.
I left Sturgis at around 11:00am and headed across SD to Watertown.
Tuesday morning I was off to track my beginnings in the small South Dakota city I was born in and the tiny rural community I spent my first 4 and half years of life in.
I met two life long residents of the area who helped me piece things together enough to accomplish most of what I set out to do that morning.
Heritage research complete I booked out of SD through Minnesota and into Wisconsin were I stayed the night in West Salem just outside La Cross.
Wednesday morning I jetted across Wisconsin, Illinois and then into Indiana just shy of Indianapolis.
Tomorrow morning I ride into Pinkerton, OH to visit the AMA Hall of Fame Museum then head to Portland Maine to meet my better half, Katherine on Saturday for a few days of R&R!
They left there home in December and have been on an extended tour of the Western States since then!
They trail this sidecar rig behind their motor home.
The pooches are styling!
They were lucky and missed the smoke from the fires.
Harold was first in line for a new P-4 on his RT this morning.
Lewis rides a K-16 GTL.
Not sure what the chain saw represents here in this fine metal art sculpture?
Then we headed West!
John and Maude McLain, my grandparents.
Very peaceful setting surrounded by corn and soybean fields.
There were many McLains here.
Airplane art is very popular around here!
Found this one as I entered Indiana.
