Iv seen bikes rolling through St Louis for years on their way up. So in two days I'll be getting off the side line and Doing some exploring myself. Can't wait, hope I can get some sleep Friday night.
Heading out Saturday morning (26 July) from Charlotte. Will pass through Stl on I-70 to KC Mo then north the Sioux Falls. No time for back roads like last year, gonna put the hammer down on the Interstates then take my time in the Black Hills. Hope to arrive in Sturgis on Monday the 28th. I barely slept last night and doubt I'll get much tonight. I'll arrive tired and leave exhausted.

I've never been. I live a 4 hour ride away from Daytona, where we have Bike Week and Biketoberfest every year. I know it's nothing like Sturgis, but still pretty cool. I'll have to get over there one day. Have a great trip!!

Never say never! Just curious as to why you'll never go (I haven't been around here as long as some of the guys that might already know . . . ).

Sturgis is a wild place, everybody should at least once. lots of sightseeing, and I don't mean Mt. Rushmore!! live dinosaurs walking around, people from every corner of life, lots of cool bikes and cool bike stuff. too many people? maybe, but you need to make a point to see it, you'll be glad you did, even if you never go again
