Buy a cheap styrofoam cooler and beer when you get there, then dump it when you are ready to come home. Beer weighs way to much to pack on a bike, especially if you need clothes and other stuff along too.

Take all your old crap t-shirts, socks, underwear, wear and throw away.&nbsp\\; Buy your Sturgis stuff and replace.&nbsp\\; Don't pack beer in, too heavy and big.&nbsp\\;
