I discussed going just last night with a buddy of mine. We weren't sitting in the cold though, we were at a local biker bar, with the bikes parked out back.

Don't know if I'll go or not, but it was discussed.

I plan on going... but think it will be on a new FXSTC or a FatBoy...

Well I'll probably trailer it up... I 'll only have a weeks vacation... and I can put many more miles in a car/truck than on a bike...

Sturgis is quite a haul fum NC, especially for a newby. I figured I'd give Daytona a shot first and definately the 2007 Outer Banks rally .. I think OTB dates are in April some time. But before I do any, I need to put the aftermarket seat on. My lower back wont take much more then 3 hours with the stock seat.
