WireDog...thanks for your service. Those words aren't enough! Just be safe and join in the fun next year.

I have been there a few times on two wheels. This year my wife is going for the first time. So it's gonna be the toyhauler. Keep telling myself its not a trailer. I am bringing my summer home with me and the bike will be in the man cave!!!

Leaving Wisconsin on 4th. Once there it will be ride ride ride!!

OP, thank you for your service!

Leaving Biloxi Mississippi on August 4. Arriving in Rapid City SD on August 8 (taking time getting there), staying through August 11. Taking a different route home... seeing as many sights as I can on the way there and back.

This is my first time to Sturgis, and my longest bike road trip - can't wait!

Leaving the East Coast on July 20th, riding to Michigan (tunnel of trees), through the UP into Canada and around Lake Superior, all the way across Canada and re-entering the US in Washington. Riding highway 101 through Washington, Oregon into Northern CA to see the Redwood Forest, then on to the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, over the Big Horn mountains and dropping into Sturgis. Will chose my route home from Sturgis when I leave will be on the open road for 22-30 days. Can't wait, 6 more days!
