He might have gotten his *** kicked about 30 years ago.
Nowadays, people bring their kids. Seems like it gets tamer every year

RE: A Sturgis question...
Don't believe it.
First Sturgis was 1972, I went on a 1971 CB450 Honda, and my brother rode a 1958 BSA A10 Road Rocket. We stayed in the city park along with everyone else. We even hung out in the HA's bar on Main. No problems whatsoever. (Just don't call 'em RUBs or POSERs
)
What you read here is correct. Sturgis, the downtown part, has turned into, for lack of a better word, tourist trap. And yes, you'll even see young parents pushing a stroller thru the throngs of ppl. And there is a campground for every lifestyle. Partying, ol' timerz, quiet timerz and even Christian campgrounds. So pack it up, and head on out. Bring plentee monee and lots of film or disc space. Hell, they even have a "Goldwing" ride thru the Hills. Just be prepared to sit in traffic ALOT.
Just remember this............... "What happens inSturgis, will be on the internet B4 the sun rises again."

Jap bikes just shouldn't park in the center of main street, might **** off lot's of folks. Have fun, it's a blast. I've been to the rally 3 times, been to the Hills many more than that. I like going in early June to avoid the crowds and ride the roads like they should be ridden, not in a parade of 500,000 bikes.

I rode a Gold Wing to Sturgis 3 years ago with a buddy on a Heritageand never had a problem...of course I am the meanest looking sombitch you ever laid eyes on. People were friendly and no one gave a **** what you rode as long as you weren't looking for trouble. Saw a guy with too much booze get his *** handed to him at the Broken Spoke but that was it. Great time.

He'll be more than welcome - it's a MOTORCYCLE rally, in an area that has great riding and scenery!
The riding is fabulous and unless you really are into hanging out at a bar fo along time you will spend much time in the saddle - much more than Myrtle Beach or Daytona. Tell him to bring his Wing and ride the wheels off it!

This year will be my first trip (hopefully). For me, I ride with anyone.. I am not a brand *****... ride what you like, I like HD's, so that is what I have... Personally, I wouldn't give a **** what anyone thought... And, as far as an @sskickin' goes... it would probally do me some good.. I think I will find a GW to ride up there, just for that reason alone, LOL...

That is a beautiful bike, and those long handlebars. I like that. I have fringe on mine.
