You know....if you backspace the caps disappear...as if by magic!
good time had by all. Quieter, but and year that doesn’t fall on a 5 or 0 are more tolerable. Ie. 75th, 80th etc etc

I thought it was more crowded than last year. I agree, a good time seemed to be had by all.

I was in Sturgis this year and there were definitely more people and bikes than last year.

Us older guys on black Harley touring bikes were still the majority, but I noticed more younger riders this year then the last several.

Was there Mon-Weds last week. Funny, my impression was it was a little less crowded than last year, but maybe it was because I started riding a little earlier than usual each morning. Monday afternoon I got caught in a hailstorm, and had to pull over because the hail was giving me welts!

Had a great time like always ...

PS I finally was in downtown Sturgis when the B2 Lancer flew over, OMG those things are LOUD!!!
