Default Sturgis 2025

Anyone planning on riding from Middle TN to Sturgis 2025? I am looking for a riding partner for the long trip. You know... strength in numbers thing. I don’t want to do the trip solo. I am not the young wild *** party type. I am 59 and passed all that. I just want to watch others do the party thing and ride some incredible countryside and have the bragging rights to say, “done that”. I am planning the trip early and have been told by wife I am on my own on this one. Let me know if you’re interested.

Good luck finding someone to ride with. I'm 68 and have been riding solo to Sturgis and beyond for the last 15 years, the beauty of it is, is that you can stop and go whenever and where ever you want without consulting with anyone else.

Hell --- I'm 49 and like riding solo sometimes. One tank, one bladder, one opinion, one lead.

I will probably end up solo. Just checking to see if there was someone that was going solo from my area. Solo would be freeing but company is not so bad either. I ride solo locally and with groups. Tend to like it every once and a while with groups.

Departing from middle TN.

Riding solo is not bad as you can do your own thing, stop where you want to etc. Am planning on going there also but am coming from the west coast.

Annalisasqueeze$139 Thank you very much for the offer! However the ride is 50% of the experience if not more.

We, group of 4 couples and 5 bikes, are planning a ride from the Knoxville area leaving on Thursday, getting there on Sunday, some bad backs so keeping under 500 miles per day.
