A Young City Biker Walks Into A Seedy Tavern

A young city biker walks into a seedy tavern in Sturgis, SD.

Sturgis! He finally made it. He had several items on his

must-do list, and this tavern was one of them. The chilli,

he’d been told, was world-famous. As he sits down at the

bar, he notices a grizzled old biker with his arms folded,

staring blankly at a full bowl of chilli. The young biker

excitedly ordered a bowl, but was told, “Sorry, just ran

out.” Disappointed, he orders a beer, wondering if he’d

be able to come back on his way home. After a few minutes of

noticing the old biker still just sitting there, the newby

rider bravely asks the old biker. “If you ain’t gonna

eat that, mind if I do?” The old veteran of a thousand

rides slowly turns his head toward the young pup and says.

“Nah, you go ahead.” Eagerly, the guy wearing the shiny

new leather fashions reaches over and slides the bowl into

his place and starts spooning it in with delight. He gets

nearly down to the bottom of the bowl and notices a dead

mouse in the chilli. Eyes wide and gut-wrenching, he

suddenly throws up the chilli back into the bowl. The old

biker quietly says. “Yep, that’s as far as I got,

too.”
