Sorry for the lack of posting during Sturgis, the connection kept giving me a hard time………..

Sturgis was insane! The Lot was nonstop, the Cycle Source ride had well over 300 riders and the Run to the Rez was a great way to end the week.  I was blown away by watching Chris, this guy never stops, I swear he must be the energizer rabbit!

Big Thanks to everyone that stopped by the Limpnickie Lot, signed up for the magazine and bought a t-shirt to help support Chris and Cycle Source.

We are now back home getting the October issue completed and focusing on new endeavors. It is a huge honor to be apart of the Cycle Source team!

While they can’t fix all of these issues at once, we fell that a good place to start is to introduce our people to their people.

Throughout the 2010 season the Limpnickie Lot has adopted a new practice under the  direction of Lisa Ballard called the “Limpnickie Lot Footprint” in order to give something back to each community they visit. These included pizza and skateboarding with Boys and Girls club Kids, food drives for local communities and several other interactions and we are pleased to announce the next step in this action. This year in Sturgis, there will be many footprints left behind from the Limpnickie Lot. Athena” Chickie” Vagabond will be working side by side with three high school bike builders, which happen to be all girls.  They competed through assay to win this once in a life time opportunity. The bike will be raffled off at the Broken Spoke Saloon downtown location. Be sure to stop by and support this great cause.
