, we are ready to embark on this our third Sturgis Tour. We have a lively group, 24 strong, on 14 Harleys, & we're gonna have a great time! 
We all met up in the Harley-Davidson Cafe for our Welcome Meal. Some had flown into Las Vegas a day or two before & were beginning to get acclimatised, where others had just stepped off the plane that same day (Saturday), & were buzzing with adrenalin after the arduous flight. We chatted as we ate, & arranged to meet at 2.30pm on Sunday, to go & collect the bikes, in readiness for Monday's early start. After the meal, some went to have a wander down The Strip, some went for a bevvy or two, while others just wanted to get back to the hotel & fall gratefully into bed. The first day is always a long one!This afternoon (Sunday), we collected the bikes from Eaglerider, & John led the way to the iconic 'Welcome to Las Vegas' sign, for a photo. Here I must apologise, especially to Elaine at one side, & Jaquie at the other, for chopping them in half on the photo above! I also apologise to June, who went to get a bottle of water from the van, & Mike, who went to fetch her for the photo, & missed it. Sorry to those not pictured above, but you all know how hot it was, & how long we'd all been standing posing for all the different pics, & how bright the sun was shining in the viewer on my camera. I just had to 'click' & get it done, so we could get out of the heat before you all melted!
We returned to the hotel, parked the bikes, & agreed to meet at 6am, for the first leg of our journey.

Hi John and Dot - I've finally managed to find some time, after our own "European Tour" with Dave and Cath Pickersgill,to catch up on your Blog. I know this is the first time that you have put a blog together from your own website and I have to say you are making a grand job of it. It sure sounds like y'all had a great West Coast trip (apart from the mishap) and that your Sturgis Posse are all fired up and ready to roll. Good luck with trip - we hope everything goes smooth as a banana daiquiri.
Nige n Jan
