Groundhog Day

The movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray examines the conundrum of living in a parallel universe where he relives Ground Hog day, day after day. I have a strong feeling today may be just like yesterday with more bikes, more sun and more fun.
Fun for some but there are problems that arise with riding hundreds of miles each day on a two wheeled vehicle.                                            

This man had a leg cramp and had to dump his bike and rider at the mouth of the driveway.

Repairs needed to adjust shocks.

( I have no idea why this photos are being saved in black and white.)

Yesterday was a horrible day for one gentleman that lost his life. Campers here for the last 10 years, he and his group were headed through the canyon and it is speculated that he suffered a heart attack and rode right off the edge of the canyon. It took rescue workers four hours to retrieve him from the rocks and trees that line the canyon walls. The previous day a deer had hit a bike and the lady on the back of the bike split her head open and had major trauma to her leg. There are dangers here riding on these curvy roads. These two incidents are a mere microcosm of  how riders gamble to ride amongst the beauty of the Black Hills.

There must be something very addictive about owning and riding a motorcycle as thousands do it and risk life limb and life to enjoy the ride and feel the winds on their face.
