Default Count down to Sturgis

I just have a few things to pick up then bright and early Saterday morrning we head north for SD. Have no plans set in stone for the way up haven't looked at a map yet, leaving from St. Louis and should get to Custor late on Sunday. 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.

A "good for you" from me too. I know what you're saying regarding getting off the sidelines. There's things in life that you almost don't want to hear people talk about doing, because you want to do it yourself so badly. So, Lisa and I are headed west on Sat., August 2nd. Get there safe!

Leaving Tulsa August 2nd, stopping in Grand Island then on to Sturgis the 3rd. I'm only staying a day or two, then heading to Washington state to see my daughter. 4000 mile round trip, roughly. Ride safe.
