RE: Sturgis 08..Who's going?
This will be my second trip from West Tennessee, spent 9 days there last year. Put over 3k miles and still didnt get in all the rides and scenery we wanted to. So, nothing left to do but go back....
Did the Beartooth, some great riding between Buffalo Wy and Cody.
Me and my 3 buds have a house rented in Black Hawk, just outside Rapid City...the house backs up to I-90 so easy on easy off, just few miles from Sturgis.
For you first timers, want to party, hear some good jam without having to fight the crowds of the Chip and Glencoe, try the Boneyard just off I-90 a few miles from Sturgis. There you can ride in, sit on your bike, have a beer and listen to some good bands....last year's best was Marshall Tucker.
Sturgis, is an experience to say the least....but a lot of fun!!!

First time trip to Sturgis on a Harley. Will be using my $600 Government "stir the economy check" tospur economic growth in Sturgis and surrounding area. Most likely I will need to spend it on gas to get their and back. Leaving from NW Louisiana traveling through some great scenic areas as I head North and West to So. Dakota. Staying at the Katmandu Campground SW of Sturgis. They offer freebus ridesto Sturgis in the evenings.

Me and my dad are going. This will be my 9th time up and my dad's 25th time. We will be riding up from Denver and taking the long way. And we still don't know where we're staying.

RE: Sturgis 08..Who's going?
We are coming up from Kansas City with a group of 5 or 6 couples/friends. Most of the group will be staying at the Best Western in Hill City. My Wife and I will be staying inour RV at Rafter J Bar Ranch RV park. Can't justify paying for a motel when we have a motorhome. Plus my Wife can't bear to not take her cocker spaniels with her whenever we go out of town. I can't complain too much since she let me buy a 2008 SG Friday. I picked it up Saturday, 3/1/08. We plan toride over to Sturgis during the daytime and then go back to Hill City to get sleep at night. It will be everyone's first time to the Sturgis, SD rally except one couple who went last year.
