And, most important, what's your name? If you're going to be there, I'd love to meet you. I like to attach faces to names. Hi Cora.... I've been to the motorcycle rally a few times.It's really not my kind of fun.We would usually just stop by for a few hours to buy a t-shirt or something to show that we were there and hit the road again.My kind of fun was to ride to there,stay a few hours and continue on to Wyoming and Utah,then head north into Idaho and Montana,trying very hard not to miss going over Beartooth Pass between WY & MT.We would then head east across North Dakota,Minnesota & Wisconsin back to Michigan.Very easy to do in about a week.We'd put on about 4000 miles or so,averageing 600-700 miles a day.It's also impossible to get a motel room within 100-200 miles of Sturgis for that week unless you reserve one a year in advance,and my idea of "roughing it" is staying in a strange motel with no remote for the TV. I don't ride anymore as the last Harley I owned,(I've owned eight),a 1998 95th anniversary Ultra Classic Electa-Glide had problems that H-D either couldn't or wouldn't fix and I wrote a letter to the president of H-D Motor Company telling him what he can do with their motorcycles and then went and bought a Goldwing.Unfortunuately,it wasn't as much fun for me to drive as an H-D and I sold it after a couple of years and haven't been on a motorcycle since.Carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists didn't make it enjoyable either. As for a persons name.....click on "User Listing" above,then the "username" and their name,and other info,will come up. | ||

COMSUBBBS Posts: 2561 Location: Rapid City, SD | Subject: I thought a Goldwing was a H D. Not so? I know the motel situation is a bummer during Rally Week. Many people stay in Rapid - 20 miles south east of Sturgis, still motels are full here, and many stay in Wyoming - probably 50 miles from Sturgis. And strangly enough, motel prices are always higher during that week?! I don't like to rough it either. My idea of roughing it, is no room service. :) But you do see some interesting sights in Sturgis when all the bikers get together. Edited by Corabelle 2007-07-05 1:29 PM | ||
