I did that in 2008, trailered from Ft Myers, FL to Des Moines where my wife and I rode 2 days to sturgis. On the way back we went through Estes Park, CO and stayed for a couple of days, very nice

Is anyone from SW Florida riding? I hope to be able to go this year and want to ride all the way this time

We have 4, maybe 5 bikes leaving from NY/CT border on the 5th, riding through NW PA to IL, etc, if anyone is going that route/those days. It seems most are leaving a day or so later. For the FL folks, there are two more bikes in our group leaving Jacksonville, probably on the 7th. We have a house rented in Custer.

.......I'll be riding out there from Minneapolis. My first trip to Sturgis. I might be alone.........I might not. I've got a room at the Iron Horse Inn in Whitewood.

Anyone looking to share a room if I end up riding alone???

I'd love to meet with some HDF members for a ride.....................

Will be at the Chip as usual. Near the Pitchfork fondue barn.

If you are serious about a ride why not head out one morning for Devils Tower?

I'd be interested in a day ride... I'll be staying in Keystone, probably only doing one day in Sturgis.
