Tony...I work on a Travel Channel show called Food Paradise and we're doing an episode about Sturgis. We need to find people making the trip for the first time. Would you (or any other first timers reading this) be interested in a quick interview during the rally? Then please shoot me an email to garylucy@yahoo.com Basically we just want to find out how it lives up to your expectations, and talk about any good food you might have had while there. Thanks!
