His ride.
It might be foolish to ask but why is he bringing a car to a bike rally? He must be part of the circus. To each their own. Since he has to drive out anyway you should ride. Lets see travel time to the airport, get there an hour and a half early, 2 hour flight if its direct but 3+ if its not then rent a car or have someone pick you up, which is their time, plus travel to the campground, with no delays That will be 7-10 hours, the better part of a day. Like I said you can ride there in a day. Just busting your balls. You will want to RIDE out next year! |

That sounds interesting. What does he do with it? |

scotts valley, California | For me and many, Sturgis is all about the ride. I don't take shortcuts either. Last year left Sturgis for the Canadian Rockies; the year before that Grand Isle, Nebraska; both going north or east instead of southwest. OOPS, just remembered, I guess I lied. One year Hwy I-80 was closed around Park City, Utah. The advance warning signs were pretty clear about it, but who is really going to believe that an interstate freeway is closed. Surely a motorcycle could get through. WRONG.. But there was a shortcut on a gravel road through the Guardians that kept us rolling. I just love riding.
Incidentally, there is an open lane from the Bay Area to Sturgis (beside me). I'm leaving Saturday the third if anyone wants to join me. I would leave the second except that is our anniversary and.... What the heck was I thinking getting married just before Sturgis week? |

Central Illinois | Forget Sturgis during the season. I was there 2 years ago a week after the official Sturgis rally. The nearby roads were great and I thoroughly enjoyed being on them. If you head south, there are lots of great miles to enjoy. If you head north, enjoy the man-made attraction of Mount Rushmore. Sorry but I cannot become enthusiastic about a huge meet that hides the real attractions of an area. |

Brighton, Colorado | Can't let this one go. Poolittle talks about "adult middle aged" site. I agree. We're also not "RACIST." "Jap bikes" Seriously? War is over. Denegration of a whole nation by referring them to "Japs" because a motorcycle is built there is a detriment to EVERYBODY. It makes us all look bad and racist. We all ride motorcycles. NOBODY should care whether it is a HD or it was made in Japan. They are not "Jap bikes". They are bikes made in Japan. I don't go on this site very much. Racism on this site is further confirmation that my reasons were justified. I'm preaching to the choir, but, as usual, there are those who will never figure it out. I was taught, "duty, honor, country." If you are a World War 11 veteran, first of all, thank you for your service. If you aren't, you have no business making reference to "jap bikes". Shame on you.
Administrators: If you choose to block me because of this message, I understand. Kind of doesn't matter. Not going to this site any more.
Ride safe everybody. |

Jap bike isn't racist. It is a simple reference to the bikes country of origin. Another pot stirrer making something out of nothing. Probably best that you're not coming back. Good bye. |

Greg, first of all, thanks for your service.
But man, I've gotta tell you, you're seeing things that aren't really there. There's no racism on this site. Lighten up dude!

Illinois | I've been on both my bikes and it's the same thing: there are so many bikes there, nobody really cares. I did notice last year though, they are starting to pick on guys who actually ride there....I guess they figure that if you can't afford a trailer, you're 2nd class  Have a great time. |

| Go to Sturgis, ride your bike, have fun and keep your head up high! I went last year and saw MANY broken HDs and only 1 broken Vic (clutch cable). When they give you crap just remind them that the electrical parts in thier bikes are made in Mexico. That always gets them. Here is some ride advise for Sturgis.....you MUST ride Iron Mt. road and the Needles Hwy. Trust me you will love it!! |

Saratoga NY area | I went last year and am still recovering. Crazy Horse is way overrated, would not go again. Mount Rushmore is a tad overrated. You will spend about 1 hr there. Deadwood is great. The nightlife is crazy. There is a bar ( I forgot the name) out there with a big pool (which is free for everyone) you should definitely try. The only phone carriers that work out there are Verizon. All of the locals and people are friendly as heck out there. Ride to the badlands and check that out. one of the best activities is actually the Victory tent on main st. They have famous people who are super nice and some nice things to see. have fun |
