09 Ultra. Went the week before with a bunch of Army buddies from back in the day. We have been doing a week long ride for 5 years now. Back in Mich now. Had a blast. Great riding out there.

It is quiet now. I just posted on another Sturgis thread we walked Lazelle and Main Street today and wondered where the hell everyone is. Waiting for the 80th?

Funny. I went up here on Friday and left Sunday morning. The short time I was there it seemed way more crowded than the last couple of years.

We're here now, leaving Friday afternoon. First time here, having a great time. Seems like there are a lot of people around to me, but I have nothing to compare against.

Yeah. We almost had to get the car out of the trailer the other day to avoid getting rained on with the bikes but we just waited an hour and the sky cleared up. That was close!
