I think that the fact that he rode it there will generated confused looks from the trailer crowd which unfortunately, is the majority. Be prepared to be bombarded with questions about what it's like to ride a bike more than eleven miles. Ray
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.
Point well made. IF you really want to enjoy the Black Hills as they can be, contemplate the Black Hills Reunion Tour. Sponsored by Rapid HD and Rapid City. Usually around Father's Day. The weather is unbelieveable compared to August, there are NO throngs of people, theprices are NORMAL rather than over inflated, and the Hillsand surrounding area are beautiful that time of year. They put on a parade, a really good spread of food, and the locals LOVE seeing you 'round. But if you are the partying type, then Sturgis Rally is your calling. Everyone needs to experience Sturgis at least twice, if not 3 times. Last year was my 35th Anniversary, had a ball, 'cept for the traffic. But then with the economy in the tank, crowds will be down this year, my prediction.
yea those days are over.....i remember the days when driving a ford, dodge, and ESPECially a toyota or other foreign car into a GM parking lot would get it smashed........
It's is for everyone. You will see every type bike imaginable. Last couple of years their have been more scooters!
10 years ago most rode their. Now most trailer including me. If your on the road and need assitance and you see a black Hemi Ram Dodge quad cab pulling a black 8.5X20 Cargo trailer flag me down. I have tools - gas - even a tire changer. Or haul you to the next town.
Oh and the front of the trailer has a bar and shield logo.
And look for me at the broken spoke and I'll buy you both a beer. Just look for the guy who's 6-4 riding a Harley. LMAO...
Tell him that it is safe for him to go and I bet he could leave the keys in the ignition and walk away for a little bit and it will still be there when he gets back, nobody wants to steal a honda, and nobody will kick his ***, hell I got a good laugh out of some of the hugh windshields on those things
There are "jerks" at any event, but one sees ALL kinds of bikes, go have a good time, it's for everyone, if anyone says anything just forget it and mark them off as jerks, it's the ride man.
They're all bullshitting you...there's a tradition of boiling and eating Goldwing riders there, everyone here is trying to convince you otherwise cause they got dibs on the drumstick.

Yea someone has to talk the non-Harleys into showing up. It keeps everyone else off the backs of Sportster Riders and tow jockeys that way.
