Project 365 August Recap
A Picture a Day – Project 365
August 2010
August 2010 was a pretty fun month. I guess any month that more than half of it includes riding one of my bikes is a good month. Throw in a few days with my honey in Sturgis, a couple visits to Gu Gu Sushi and some quality time with Buddy and there really is not a lot to complain about. This gallery is a compilation of my picture a day project for August 2010.

Nice Butt
Different motorcycles have different qualities that may attract me. My 1986 Heritage got my attention with the old school look and the way it fit me. My Limited attracted me with its sexy lines and color scheme. The Night Train, well, I will never forget walking into the dealership and spotting the rear end on it. It was lust at first sight.
My photo of the day for day 238 is a profile of the Night Train’s rear, just after being detailed by Harley Arty. He really does good work

Harley Arty
Shortly after purchasing the new Limited, okay, on the way home from purchasing the Limited I stopped by at some friends’ home to show off my new bike. While there, one of their neighbors came by. As it turned out, he makes his money by detailing Harley-Davidsons and his nickname is Harley Arty. I took his business card and made a mental note to remember him for the future. When I came back from Sturgis, the bike was in a word, filthy. About 10 pounds of dead bugs and lots of road grime made it clear that if I was going to try him out, this would be the time to do it. I have to say, I was quite impressed with his work. It was obvious that he really enjoyed bringing back the beauty that my bike had once been. I will use him again for sure. In fact, he is supposed to come over Thursday to do the Night Train.
My photo of the day for day 236 is of the Limited after Harley Arty worked his magic. If you live in the South Bay area, drop a note and I will pass along his contact info.

Bike Week, Black Hills Rally
After riding through Spearfish Canyon, you are dropped off in Lead followed by Deadwood. Lead does not really have a lot to offer and as Tanya had never been to Deadwood before it was decided that we would stop there for lunch and to check out the hot bikes. Deadwood has really changed a lot since my first visit in 1986. I guess the combination of bikers and casinos has paid off for them. I am not really sure why Sturgis does not have any casinos, or if they do have them, where they are hidden.

70th Annual Black Hills Rally & Races 2010
On Saturday, I decided to take Tanya on a ride through Spearfish Canyon. The Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway is billed as one of the most beautiful rides in the country. We started off in Spearfish, then rode it to Deadwood, Boulder Canyon and back into Sturgis. It was kind of rainy, so I did not make as many stops as I would have if it was dry, but we enjoyed the ride thoroughly.
