I hear ya man. Now that I have a bike that I can actually ride to sturgis without needing knee replacements afterward, I really wanted to do my first Sturgis trip. Unfortunatly I can't. I just got too much stuff going on.
Maybe next year...........................

I feel your pain.&nbsp\\;

The Kansas turnpike is about 200 feet from my front door......and I-70 runs about 1 block from work....no matter what, if at home, or at work, I am seeing/hearing the sounds of FUN going by.

I chose NOT to go to Sturgis. Too many people, too much alcohol.

you can look at it in another way though. work is what allows us to have fun.
I was blessed with an deluxe job at a machine shop, not only do I hold an office position but working in a shop with the same guys day in and day out has really turned our place into a party more than work. It took me about 7 years to say this but...... I love my job. Ohh and whiskers I feel you though I would love to get out and ride more often but thats life
