BY MOMMA IZ<br />
As a parent I know many things, as a kid, I thought I knew everything. I<br />
can honestly say these things about your parents, they loved you. It hurt<br />
them when you said mean things. They forgave you no matter what. And<br />
yes, they wanted that last French Fry.<br />
I rode the Black Hills of South Dakota, a place my father frequented. He<br />
told me many times how beautiful it was, he told me many times to come<br />
with him. Stupid things ran through my head as I rode through the Black<br />
Hills. The time when my father bought me an Alan Jackson CD and told me<br />
I would like it and I exchanged it for something else, I ended up liking Alan<br />

Jackson. The time he said come on I'll teach you how to ride and I said I can<br />
teach myself and ended up paying for lessons. The time he bought me<br />
cowgirl boots and I said no one wears these in NYC, only to end up wearing<br />
them every day.... but these things I learned happened after his death. So<br />
here I am in South Dakota and Wyoming, seeing him everywhere. He was<br />

BIKER THE CLOCK<br />
BIKER THE CLOCK<br />
by Momma Iz<br />
We only had a week to see everything.<br />
Rain gear was packed, sun screen, chapstick, phone chargers .We left early and<br />
returned under the stars. In the morning we pulled over to put on rain gear,<br />
minutes later pulled over to take it off. South Dakota weather could change in a<br />
minute, but our internal biker clocks and love for nature tells us how to roll. We<br />
out ran storms, chased the sun and rode against the wind. Didn’t want to leave<br />
some places, but the biker clock said time to go. Wanted to leave some places,<br />
and the biker clock said stay. One thing is for sure, in a car you watch the movie,<br />
on a bike you are part of the movie.
CROSSROADS<br />
Here we are in the midst of a hot summer. There have been so many events going on and<br />
unfortunately some tragedies that have effected us all in the community. Why is that? I<br />
think it’s because we all in one way or another have found some sort of relationship with<br />
one another whether it be through our motorcycles, our service to the country, our faith or<br />
just wanting to help our fellow human. Whether it has been for triumph or tragedy, I have<br />
met up and rode with some new people but, I have also continued to ride with friends that I<br />
have known for years. Relationship plays a big part of our every day life. Work<br />
relationships, love relationships, friendships, partnerships just to name a few. What about a<br />
God relationship? You know the “Big Guy” wants to hear from you too. He created you,<br />
right? He wants you to know that He loves you regardless of what you do. Religion is<br />
about what you have to do, but relationship is about what He already did. If you want to<br />
know more about having this relationship with God, you can reach out to any member of<br />
Cornerstone Motorcycle Ministry or any of the other Christian biker organizations. We are<br />
at a lot of the events.<br />
Father, we thank you for always loving us exactly where we are. We are so grateful for<br />
what you did at the cross so that we may be forgiven of our sins for all eternity. We pray<br />
that hearts would be opened and softened to a relationship with You. In Your name we<br />
pray, Amen!
Buffalo Chip<br />
The Buffalo chip is where it's at. An endless sea of campers fill the fields. Bars,<br />
stores, food, flat track racing, the Flaunt Girls, tattoos and even a bikini beach<br />
with a slip and slide. Keith Urban, Toby Keith , Godsmack, etc.. Everyday the<br />
Buffalo Chip had a jam packed day, vendors galore. My favorite was the general<br />
store, what can I say.. as a camper that loses things... the Buffalo chip general<br />
store had flip flops, first aid, bottle openers, coffee towels, beer ... everything I<br />
needed :). My second favorite was the gyro vendor. I was in South Dakota, I was<br />
not expecting a gyro. I did get a tattoo, it's my thing to get ink in every state. I<br />
even ziplined while Godsmack was playing. The Buffalo Chip goes all out for<br />
entertainment, and comfort. From the camping amenities to the nightlife. Book<br />
your Buffalo Chip reservation now. Like us on our <strong>Twist</strong> n <strong>Throttle</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong><br />

PIT STOP'S<br />
The Flaunt<br />
Girls<br />
by Momma Iz & Pit<br />
So, while at the Buffalo Chip, we met with the Flaunt Girls. About 10 years ago, while watching a reality show based on the<br />
Sturgis Rally, there was this woman named Angie. Angie was this beautiful petite dancer who walked around Sturgis Rally in<br />
skimpy panties, ripped stockings, combat boots, and a tank top. Her physique was amazing, but I was head over heels over her<br />
personality. I was watching the show and was like this girl is yelling at people, organizing people, looking for people, checkin<br />
on people, and all while in skimpy bottoms, combat boots, and no one bats an eye, it's just Angie taking care of business. I was<br />
glued to the tv to see what Angie would do next. Over the years Angie and the Flaunt Girls became a class one act infused with<br />
burlesque, aerobics and dance. Girls of every shape and size completed this all girl dance act.<br />
Now living as a biker, you see alot of girls topless, alot of girls wearing crazy stuff, it's not for everyone but we support<br />
artistic expression so we deal. Believe me when I say there were several times I wanted to say put your stuff away to crazy<br />
strangers at bike events. The Flaunt Girls were never like this, always in costume, always in shape and always with a routine.<br />
Good music, good choreography and good fun. They dance and they mingle, they mingle with the wife, the husband, the<br />
girlfriend, every fan counts to them. They are seriously not here to offend anyone, just some good ole saloon style burlesque<br />
with a modern twist.<br />
So I did not get to meet Angie as I believe she is raising a child now but I did get to meet Mia Big Tease and the rest of the<br />
Flaunt Girls. They have a Flaunt Girl playground at the Buffalo Chip. They also bartend as well as dance on the bar. Talk<br />
about interactive. The girls work hard, practicing their routine 3 days a week. They honor vets at every show and offer a<br />
calendar of themselves that's available for sale. It was such a treat for me to enjoy them live. The Buffalo Chip Flaunt Girls<br />
playground was truly an enjoyable stop on our Sturgis journey. Keep a look out for Baby as she does a stunning arial aerobic<br />
dance .

Sturgis<br />
arrived in Sturgis by plane. Our friends trailered the bikes.<br />
We<br />
Several of us had ridden to Sturgis before and anyway we got there<br />
was acceptable. We picked up our rental car and headed to Rapid<br />
City where we rented a beautiful house through Air B&B.<br />
We went into town and stopped at the Knuckle Saloon to replace old<br />
Knuckle t-shirts with new ones. Strolled Main Street, had a drink and<br />
headed back to the house to rest up.<br />
Next morning we headed to the Tilford Gulch campground to meet<br />
our friends who had our bike.

CUSTOM LEATHER TOOLING<br />
by<br />
DICKIE<br />
Who doesn't love custom tooling. Why wait for the show season to find a custom<br />
tooler. Well now you don't have to, Crafty Bastard is a local East Coast tooler that can<br />
be reached on Facebook at Crafty Bastard. If you think of it, he can tool it.
Deadwood<br />
for its gold mining and prosperity, Deadwood<br />
Known<br />
delivers on western charm and good food. Our favorite<br />
artist David Uhl even has an art studio set up there. I had<br />
to go in a shop called Miss Kitty . They're I purchased a<br />
Miss Kitty coin, good for one brothel visit.
I welcomed them as guests,<br />
but they left as family.<br />

TOWER<br />
DEVILS<br />
County, Wyoming rising almost 900 ft above land, Devils<br />
Crook<br />
Tower is a beautiful natural monument to ride to. Many legends<br />
surround Devils Tower, the Lakota Indians would carve arrow heads<br />
from rock in that area. One day they found themselves surrounded<br />
by bears, they stayed close to the walls of Devils Tower when<br />
suddenly the rocks fell and killed the bears . Known as Bear Tower<br />
to the Lakota Tribe, a general later changed the name to Devils<br />
Tower.
RUSHMORE<br />
MOUNT<br />
stunning, magnificent, I don't even know<br />
Amazing,<br />
what to say about it. Our founding fathers, this great<br />
country. Freedom.... if you love this country, MT<br />
Rushmore will invoke every emotion.
BADLANDS<br />
We rode through the Badlands, stopping for a drink on<br />
the outskirts before riding back around to finish the 39<br />
mile loop. Elevation 3340 ft. So many places to stop and<br />
take pictures. When you leave the Badlands, you come to<br />
a town called Wall. Just a small town 8 miles outside of<br />
the Badlands, famous for the Wall Drug store, it is now a<br />
town with 766 people and over 20,000 tourists. Wall<br />
features many different stores, bars, eateries, and even a<br />
Harley dealer. The Wounded Knee Museum is also in<br />
Wall. I might add when you hop back on highway 90, the<br />
speed limit is 80.

CAMP<br />
Janet Truax<br />
Campership Fund<br />
Janet Truax was the summer registrar for Camp Pinnacle for many<br />
years. As the person running registration, Miss Janet made sure every<br />
child who wanted to come to camp was able to do just that. She would<br />
call her church and other friends and say, "this child needs help going<br />
to camp. What can you do?" She made sure scholarship money was<br />
available. She passed at the age of 81 and right to the end she kept up<br />
the fight for kids to be able to come to camp.<br />
Every year 10-20 kids are able to experience the beauty and<br />
adventure at Camp Pinnacle. From horses to motorcycles and fishing<br />
ponds to talent show's, along with s'mores, fireside singing, and the<br />
message of God's love for all of us... it's an amazing experience for<br />
these kids. We would like to do that again this year with your help.<br />
Camperships go to children in single parent homes, families in<br />
trauma, and larger families with financial need. If you would like to<br />
donate to the fund or apply for a scholarship, please contact Kayla<br />
Trianni at (528)872-9100 or e-mail info@camppinnacle.org
HORSE<br />
CRAZY<br />
monument, restaurant overlooking Crazy Horse, huge gift<br />
Amazing<br />
shop with Native American museum. The restaurant even served a<br />
Buffalo Stew. Can you say vacation? Because I'm exhausted recapping<br />
all we rode to.<br />
No matter what town you go to it is all part of the Sturgis rally<br />
experience. Every town is prepared for us, cones, parking, barricades<br />
diverting cars away from us. Banners hanging that say "Welcome<br />
Bikers". It truly is the mother of all rally’s. Everyone is happy to see<br />
us and there is no shortage of accommodations and hospitality.
Bathtub, Spearfish Canyon<br />
Devil's<br />
I am not sure if all bikers are getting the jist of Devils Bathtub, its quite<br />
Omg,<br />
deceiving. You pull off the road into a parking lot, you see a beautiful stream and<br />
after a few minutes most bikers rode off, not us, I read the stream leads to a<br />
swimming hole. Determined to find it, we walked a slightly hidden trail, along<br />
the way we met newly engaged Mike and Caroline. We wish them the best. Ok,<br />
so we are in biker boots with bathing suits underneath, can't be too bad, I'm sure<br />
its here somewhere. So we walk, see a couple of people and ask about the<br />
swimming hole. Oh, you have to cross the creek a couple of times. Well we<br />
crossed a shallow creek and then had to cross again and again and again. Water<br />
was over our boots, Pit was carrying cameras and we had pants on. I dodged a<br />
snake, poison ivy and very slippery moss. About a mile later we were there.<br />
Others had found it and kids were sliding down a natural waterfall into an ice<br />
cold swimming hole. I recommend the journey, just dress properly.
Keystone<br />
Another gold mining town, wooden boardwalk, South Dakota<br />
gold shops, as well as a tour of a gold mine, and you can pan<br />
your own gold.<br />
Right before Keystone was a corner parking lot next to a huge<br />
store called Candyland. Yes I went in .. and yes it was wall to<br />
wall candy . The parking lot was filled with vendors. I met<br />
Gentleman Jim there . He makes his own oils and balms for<br />
beards, women's hair and skin. I was sold on his original scents<br />
so i stocked up. I will say his hair oil saved my helmet hair all<br />
week.
Custer, Needles, Sylvan Lake<br />
Sylvan Lake, the starting point. Needles Highway, the word scenic<br />
isn’t big enough to describe it. Passing through rock tunnels,<br />
navigating curves, straight into Custer State Park. Buffalo roaming<br />
free, donkeys on the road, South Dakota does not fall short on<br />
adventure.
