Did IT ! Sturgis and back
Just a note for anyone who gave me advice on my trip. We did NJ to Sturgis, 4700 miles total in 8 days. What a great ride. Took 3 days to get there, two to get back. While we were there we road to Rushmore, the Badlands, and did a real nice ride to N Dakota and Montana, winding up at Devils Tower in Wyoming, then back to Lead S Dakota where we stayed. I highly recommend this trip. My longest ride ever before that was 300 miles in a day. Planning my next trip already! Mark

Been to Sturgis 5 times from Colorado (on a 79 shovel). I remember the first time I did the trip. I felt like I had accomplished one of the most important things in my life and looking back it was. Even got a Tat to commemorate it. Congrats!

Yep, 12 days... 4600 miles... thru ten states... woohoo!
It was a dream road trip in every way. Everything went perfectly and the bikes ran flawlessly.

Very Cool! Some day I will have enough time off to make that trip. I have been there on 4 wheels (with kids) but want to some day do it on the bike.
Ride Safe,

Congrats on making the ride. I want to make that ride next year. It is 2200 miles one way from where I live in Fla. I've started planning. Now if my work schedule will just cooperate.
