Default I didn't go to sturgis..

But I did go to Jamaica. I took the Harley tour. We rode along the coast and made some stops along the way. The views was great. Ate some jerk chicken and festival. Festival, I would say is like a torpedo shaped bread that tastes like a cake doughnut without the sugar on top. Both was very good. Everyone at the tour office/ boutique shop was very nice. Riding on the wrong side isn't too bad. Here are some pictures they take while you ride.

Lucky you! I didn't go to Sturgis either...or Jamaica and probably won't ever go to either one.

Is this a new dealership/ program in Jamaica? I was there about 7 years ago and the HD T-shirt shop said HD bikes weren't allowed b/c bikes over 750 weren't allowed on the island. And I didn't see any HD's around while I was there. That's really cool that you can now rent a HD bike and ride there!

Good call. I'd rather be on a Jamaica than in Sturgis too!

Looks like a great trip. I rented an FXDXT in St Maarten (obviously years ago) and a BMW in Italy...nice way to see a foreign country. Would like to tour Cuba on a HD before the floodgates are opened...

Yes this is a new tour company. The office is located behind the boutique shop. I went to 2 Harley boutique shops and I don't think they have a dealership on the island. If you go on to Facebook and search for Harley-Davidson Jamaica / Great Dane Motorcycle Tours Of Jamaica Ltd you can find info about it. On the Jamaica Harley Davidson website it says rental. But it's a guided tour. It's not like you can just go wherever you want. But it's a nice ride.

Jerk Chicken! And Jerk Pork! And Jerk Fish! And Jerk Beef....love it all!

And the spicy Beef Patties! Go down so well with lots of Red Stripe!

Love Jamaica...been there often throughout my life. Going again next spring. I also though only
