Sturgis trip Alone, Bad idea???
I am planning my first trip to Sturgis but none of my buddies can go. I am thinking about going by myself. I would be driving from Jersey with the bike in the truck. I will be camping. I figure I might meet people out there to tag along with. I am being naive?

Why in the world would traveling along be a bad idea? I do it all the time. Are you worried about the trip or are you worried you will not meet anyone to hang out with at Sturgis? Frankly I do not think either would be a problem, especially if you are at one of the bigger camp grounds. You would almost have to try to *not* meet people to party with at a camp ground

Whew, if you can't meet someone at Sturgis, you need a personality transplant. It is that simple. Go, and have a great time.
The Chip. Quiet hours are from 4:00 to 6:00 a.m. if that cramps your style. LOL! Thousands of folks wanting to ride and party. Obviously, I love staying there.

Always amazes me how many guys are gung-ho in January, drop-out in June, or don't make the driveway in August.
About 10% is the number that I figure actually end up going on a big trip. Lots of talkers out there.

SN, when I run solo I like to use KOA camgrounds. If there is one near you stop in for a guide book. you can also check online. They are fairly close to the Interstate along the way.
You don't have to use them every evening but you pretty much know what you are getting into. If weather is real bad they have Kampin Kabins if available.

If for some unknown reason you want a quieter campground, try Shade Valley, about 7 miles east of Sturgis

Keep this in mind. My grandmother use to always tell me (as lots of old folks are want to do) they regret the things they did not do much more than the things they did (if that makes sense). Being a younger man at the time I did not really get what she was saying. I do today. If you want to go then go, do not let little concerns like this get in your way.
