I heard from a buddy ( but he didn't know the details, imagine that) that there was a rally July 4th. He said something like "little sturgis"... No cops, and all that other "fun stuff" to go with it.... Anybody have any info on this....????

Conesville is definitely worth going to. Kinda expensive for an over night trip, but well worth it IMO

The "little sturgis" rally you are referring to is the Sturgis on the River Rally. It takes place in Davenport June 17-20, 2009. Lots of vendors, bikes, bands, etc. It's a pretty good time. The Little Sturgis rally is actually in Sturgis, KY. Here's a good link to a bunch of the major rallies taking place this year throughout the U.S. http://www.lightningcustoms.com/bikerralliesevents.html
