I loved it..... except... the fat gal leading her naked fat gal pal around with collar and chain at "The Chip" was not the scenery I had hoped for. Well, there was the hot chick getting nailed by some guy on a blanket in full view of hundreds... I guess I have that memory burned in my head.

Yeah, lot's of fun to be had. Keep the wife close by or she might get lost in all the excitement!!

This will be my first time there too, leaving this sunday taking extra time getting there stopping to visit Glacier National Park before heading down to Sturgis. I had put it off for a long time, but recently ran across a friend that now lives in Sturgis and offered up a room at his home free of charge, couldnt pass that up. So I will be scratching another line off the bucket list this year. Not to mention another 2 States from my signature below.....

First time out for me and my buddies... Riding out next week and be there on Saturday. Goin' hardcore, staying at the chip.. Hope to do a lot of riding while we are there. I am not a big drinker, but will likely partake in the evenings since it sucks to be completely sober around a bunch of drunk people.

Have a great time guys and ride safe.

If you are camping...bring ear plugs (essential for any sleep), sun screen, $, air mattress (or buy it at wally mart when you get there) camera, hat, flip flops (wear them in the shower) and all the other rubbish you typically need. Otherwise enjoy yourself and I'll see you there

Oh after you tie everything onto your bike, run for about 10-15 min get off the bike and make sure that nothing has loosened or is going to fall off / interfere with the bike. A couple were killed a year or two ago when a sleeping bag (I think) worked it's way into their rear tire. Stay safe.
