I attended nursing school in Rapid City, SD, about 50 miles from the annual Sturgis bike rally. Did my ER rotation during Sturgis week. Due to being on duty on arrival of several bike accidents, head injuries, etc., I always said I would NEVER get on a motorcycle. Got married, DH bought a Harley, I said, I would NEVER get on that bike-without a helmet. We rode to Sturgis a couple times, lo and behold the scent of the Black Hills as you ride the Needles Highway, WITHOUT a helmet is absolutely intoxicating, no alcohol needed, (now, that's foolhardy and stupid!). Moral: Never say never. To keep this quilting related, we did stop at a couple quilt shops while there. DH sold his bike several years ago, so no more riding, just happy memories.
