Default South Dakota: Sturgis (not 56k safe)

So it might be a bit late. I went to Sturgis South Dakota the week before the rally in august. It was the coolest thing to see about 10,000 different bikes even though there was only about 15 sport bikes in the whole state.
i took some pictures of some roads and of my 08 so i thought i would share.

My bike now is completely blacked out. the sub frame and rear sets/pass pegs. the pictures are not up to date but still tight. the seat is a sheepskin cover which i love on long rides. Alaskasheepskin.com i believe is where i bought it online. it keeps the swamp butt away and keeps me nice and cool.

There is a lot of crazy stuff out there. I really hope the garbage hanging off that bike is just for show. Ew.

Me and my bro ,he has an 06 r6, were the only sportbikes at sturgis that day. we rode through and we definitely got that infamous stare. but other than that most people were just watching us ride by and looking. I guess overall the people are just there for bikes and really dont care too much.

thanks about the bike. ive been watching yours unfold Red and i wanted to know where you got you evo exhaust?.
