Default "Sturgis here we come"

The time is finally here. Have the street glide all packed up and ready to pull out tomorrow morning at 5:30 AM to meet my buds at Rt 51 & 70 and head off to Sturgis. This is my "Bucket list ride". Just gotta do it. I know its going to be a great time. We have a house rented in Rapid City and the wifes are flying out on Saturday. Needless to say I'm very excited on making this trip. It will be a once in a life time ride for me for sure.

We'll be hitting I-70 at 9:00 am at the I-75 interchange. We might be crossing paths on the way.

Ride safe and have fun.

I'm headed out Sat AM from Illinois along with my son. We go I-80, I-35 and then I-90.

I always find a new area to explore even after 9 times. Go just for the riding and eating.
