I like your style, but the storms I have rode out there, you would have had a wet *** and most other body parts. Just saying.

I’ve never had a problem finding rooms up there. Yes as of now they say they are all booked, but the truth of the matter with all the cancellations you will be fine. You will have to move most likely every couple days or even daily. But we have stayed in 300 dollar rooms for 100 dollars. And yes there has been one time I was severely verbally beaten by the O’lady because lmao she thought she was going to have to sleep on the ground for a night. What we had to do was ride over to Wyoming for the night. Now if your just planning on staying in the town of sturgis all bets are off. But if your will to look into the surrounding towns no problem. Personally I’ve never made reservations while traveling on a bike. I’m just to spontaneous, the weather to unpredictable and so forth.

Default Rooms in Sturgus

city web site lists lodging. Locals rent rooms, look for signs in yards. I rent my house out one floor and basement rooms by the room. Yard camp space in town is 10$ a person a night. If you want a hotel maybe drive it there ... lol. Every mile a thrill.

Granted its not a long ride, but you better believe i will be riding the sporty 883. Im anning on buying a military shelter half and camping at one of the campsites there. Big enough for just me and plenty small enough to pack on the bike. Taking a change of clothes and clean socks. No other riding gear. If it rains (i know it will) then ill just get wet. Im a former infantryman so ill be all set. Lol I just need recommendations on campsites. Thinking of glencoe only because its the only one i know of.
I would bring some rain gear, doesn't take up much room. No fun when a storm blows thru dropping the temperature and soaking you too the bone.

I’ve spent some time in coin laundromats there drying out. just have something to wrap yourself in lol. There’s a Walmart 17 miles east on I90. Or come camp in the yard. People leave tents there every year. Haul a tent in but haul T-shirt’s home so no room lol.
Catch me at Preschool Choppers 970 Main. We’ll find a corner for a shelter half n a sporty

Default Stugis, Buffalo Chips Concert Tickets

I can't make it to Sturgis this year due to Grand Child being born that week. However, I purchased Eric Church and Lynyrd Skynyrd tickets for Aug. 6-8th at the Buffalo Chip camp ground. Anyone interested in buying 2 tickets, will take best offer. I paid $165/ea willing to sell them cheap. Need a buyer before July 1st in order to transfer them. If I need to post this elsewhere, let me know as I'm new to the forum.

From the back looks like my saddleman bag. Great bag with a rain cover built into the top.
