You can still buy 3.2 beer in convenient stores in some states, for the purpose of remembering the good ole days! [:'(]

RE: sturgis - drinking age
Well, no need of the Ol' Geezr posting here, other than to say, take him along. Seems the rest have covered the topic at hand. Don't need to drink to enjoy Sturgis.
In fact, I think I have enjoyed Sturgis more since I quit 13 yrs ago than I did when drinking. (That could be because I don't remember Sturgis when I was.
) Took mine along at 16. He enjoyed it, especially when we spent the day touring all the bike builders, and he got to sit on 'em. Good indication is he still has some of the pics I took, hangin' on his walls, 7 yrs later. 
Grew up out in SoDak, and when I was a youngster (in the 50's), Gramma used to send us to town (1 1/2 mile walk) to get Grain Belt for my uncle's when they were baling hay. We were all of 7 and 9, and they would triple bag it to keep it cold for the walk back to Gramma's. We'd get sent to town to buy cigs for my uncle's, too.

Sadly, 3.2 beer is alive and well in my state. BLECH! Glad Im not a beer drinker. Should seen my buddies in Vegas last fall, they forgot those beer footballs on Freemont street are REAL beer. One of those babies, and I just about had to carry them to the cab.

RE: sturgis - drinking age
Yeah, the legal drinking age is 21 in South Dakota. I know the cops in the area can be ball busters too. 2 years ago some buddies and I were in Deadwood on a snowboarding trip and a friend got busted for a DUI and had to stay in jail until he blew .000 BAC. He was 22 years old at the time and deserved the DUI, to argue in favor of drunk driving is idiotic. I think that having to stay in Jail for 13 hours AFTER posting bail was a bit outragious. As far as age issues, I know in ND we "legally" can't drink until 21, regardless of what parents say...
