Sturgis 2012, who's going?

[Peterod45]

If I go again, I'm staying at Glencoe again. Probably leave SoCal Friday and come back Friday.

I wonder whose going to ride their raked out bike all the way here.

I live 28 miles from main st., so The whole shebang is not a big deal to me.

Last year there was a pretty nice raked out RG all customized out on Friday night along the side of the road. Light kandy apple gren color.

I know my buddy is riding out from Missouri with his 26. I'll be rollin with my 23 from SoCal if I make it.

If I ever get to go to Sturgis you better believe I'll be riding whatever I have. The trip there and back is 90% of it for me...

Absolutely. The only time any bike of mine will be trailered is if it's broken, or god help me, I'm broken.

Well if you guys come, I'll ride my 18" big wheel up to see ya!

 

[Bill]

Just looked up the distance....

1900 miles one way, damn that would be a long ride...

 

[YYAZZ]

Ill be there. Staying in deadwood.

 

[yardsale]

Not that I mind sleeping in a tent but I don't have the ground clearance to drive through the campgrounds anymore. I better get my butt in gear and make some reservations.

 

[BLACKIZZLE]

I should be there for sure. definitely gonna try to ride.

I'm planning to go in a couple of years. My kids are too young for me to be away for so long right now. Like Bill said its close to 1,800 miles away from me. 2-3 days there, gotta stay at least 5 days then 2-3 days back...
Hopefully in a couple of years when they don't need daddy around as much, I'll go.
If I could could go for 5 days maybe 6 I'd go. I want my bike though, no rental.



Tap it!

You don't need 5 days in Sturgis. I rode out in '06. 3 nights was plenty for me. Probably could have been 2 nights and still had a BLAST. Besides, too many people want to try and see/do everything when they go. Just pick a couple of things and really spend time doing them. You can always go back.

I will be there as well. I always am there from Sunday night and I leave Thursday morning. I ride it all in one day so travel is only like 680 miles. That is plenty of time there for me.

5 days is 4 nights & 3 nights is 4 days. So basically cut it 1 day short? What's the difference? lol
Definitely good advice on just picking a couple of things to do & sticking with it. But I figure if I'm there I'd like to do as much as possible with as little sleep as possible...lol
Could always go back? Thats what I said about Hawaii! That was over 12 yrs ago lol. I'm dying to get back but life gets in the way. I do have an invite to have a couple of drinks with 808! & trust me, I'll be taking him up on that offer when I do go back!


Tap it!
