Default Possible Sturgis Routes

I'm contemplating going to Sturgis this coming year. I'm just wondering if anyone had any route suggestions.

If I go, I'll probably take a week to go up, spend a week there, and then a week to come back. So if you have any ideas, please post them.

Thanks

I-75 N to Tifton .. Hwy 82 W to Montgomery .. I-65 N to Birmingham Hwy 78 to Memphis .. I 55 N to Hwy 63 which stopped in Joneboro AR First Day then Hwy 63 N to Hwy 60 W and across MO that way .. More to Come .... Took me 3 trips to Sturgis to work out the First Leg .. Definitely some decent scenery and good time can be made as well .. Especially Hwy 63 to Hwy 60 ..

I think the route is solid except Jonesboro Ak in a day would be a stretch from south Florida. Used that route coming south from Mountain Home Ak. Birmingham would be a stretch but doable.
