What happened today

So a live update now that we have wifi and have updated ya'll of the last few days.

First we rode in over 35 degree celsius heat through South Dakota Prairies. These massive grasshoppers were everywhere by the hundreds. My boots wet with guts and shins kinda bruised (through motorbike pants!) Getting one just below the adam's apple at 120km/hr was both hilarious and painful.

Went to Mount Rushmore. Took a picture. Had fried pickles in Custer, South Dakota. The highway from Custer to the Wyoming border was one the the twistiest and funnest roads, yet.

Barely dodged (okay, we got a bit wet) that cool looking storm back there. The helmetless Harley riders in tank tops (there are hundreds of 'em) like to comment on our gear: "Packin' lots of gear, are ya?".... yes. We are packing lots of gear. And we are comfortable and dry and laughing while we pass you in the storm.

The plan for tomorrow is to specifically ride roads that are closed during the winter, the arrive in Yellowstone National Park with enough time to explore.

A trucker I met said: "I'd tell you to keep the shiny side up, but your bike's not too shiny. Keep the scratchy plastic side up!"
