If anybody wants to team up with us at the start or along the way, let me know. The more the merrier. Everybody have a safe ride and look forward to seeing you all there.

Default Sturgis this year?

Yep, I plan on leaving SW MI. on July 10 and will arrive on the 12th. It will be my first return trip in 10 years!! I am taking my time and looking forward to enjoying the ride, and I will meet up with my brother there and it will be his first time going.
I'm looking forward to it!
I am planning on HOT weather, RAIN, and some stormy COLD weather for the week as thats what is normally to be expected during bike week. But over-all, I'm definitely looking forward to it!
Go if you can,
Ron.

Randy,
Thanks for the offer Randy, it sounds like you guys are leaving earlier then I can get away. Now that return trip may be another matter... when do you guys plan on leaving Sturgis?
