Default Visiting the States

Hi all,

My last and the only visit to the US was in 2007. It was my honey moon. Went to Miami-Caribbean-Florida-LA-NY.

I really liked it and already started planning the next one. Hopefully End this year or early next year .... Im planning to make it this time to a Bikes event, similar to the Daytona Bike Week ...

so what u guys think ... what is the best bike event worth visiting it ?? is it the Daytona ??

It would be realy realy great if i can hit bikes and Cars show/event in one visit!!

any recommendations/input will be appriciated ...


Regards,

If ya already been to FL, I'd skip Daytona Bike Week...hell, I'd skip it anyways. I would suggest ya hit Sturgis, and ride the surroundin area...guarantee it'll be way better than Daytona...much better scenic ridin in the Black Hills of SD too...Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer, Devils Tower, Badlands, Spearfish Canyon, etc. Plus, it's only 'bout 400 miles on over to Yellowstone from Sturgis if ya got the time.

Been to Daytona twice and grew up not far from there. The rides are somewhat limited, up and down the coast, west in to the state and if you have time, down to Key West. I've been to Sturgis once, stayed out side of town and didn't regret it one bit. Some beautiful rides out that way, Lots of twisties and and eyeball popping scenery in town and out of town. Can't wait to get back out there.
