Guest tx2sturgis Posted July 8, 2013 Share #3 Posted July 8, 2013 About once every decade, I skip a year. This is the year I'm playing hooky...I've got plans to ride to Bikes Blues and BBQ instead, and wont be able to do both rallies in one year. I'm of course, already regretting it, since the Doobie Brothers are playing, and several of my friends are going, and they want someone to kinda show them around. Same story every year..... Oh well....yall have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VentureFar Posted July 18, 2013 Share #6 Posted July 18, 2013 Anyone else coming to Sturgis? How about we all meet for breakfast at the "pancake breakfast" that is across the street from Ft Meade on 34/79 / lazelle just East of Sturgis? North side of the road. How about Wednesday at 7:30am? Just a suggestion- please chime in. Tx2sturgis - I have been 6x so I know my way around a bit. Happy to be a contact for your buddies. I will be hanging with a buddy I dragged last year that couldn't wait to come back this year to explore in more depth.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard B Posted July 18, 2013 Share #7 Posted July 18, 2013 After living and working in the Grand Teton National Park I do believe I have seen every bike and biker that is going to Sturgis already. Seems like everyone going gets there by doing Grand Teton and Yellowstone on the way. Early in the morning you can hear whole herds of Harleys going up Hwy 89. Therefore I feel like I have already been there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoneman1981 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted July 18, 2013 Hello: That sounds like the breakfast that is held at the Sturgis Highschool. Great place to meet others. Lots of parking. Several of us met there last year. Unfortunetly we will not be riding up until Friday the 9th. I hope others will join you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well....yall have fun! Wait a minute......You turned down Sturgis for BBB? Hmmm.....Wow! I live in this beautiful state called Arkansas, and I go to BBB every year, but I gotta tell ya........It Ain't No Sturgis. BBB is a great rally that has multiple events spread across 3 cities, and some very nice day rides out from the rally. It says it gets 300K+ attendance every year, but its really like 100K. I used to think it was a big time rally until I went this year to Daytona Bike Week. Holy Crap!. Now THAT is a big time rally. Maybe I'll catch up to ya this year.

I only have so much time I can take off of work, and since I've been to Sturgis 18 times, I like to vary my agenda now and then...ya know? Yeah, I like BBB...I've been one time....and I promised myself I'd go back. I like the riding in that area, I like that the rally is later in the year and not so damn hot, and I like that Fayetteville doesnt gouge you on prices....yet....Plus its an easy one day ride from where I live, so I save money on motels too. All said and done, it works for me this year, so thats where I'll be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've been bored with it after about 17 times. Can't believe you pushed it to 18. NW Arkansas is certainly a great place to have a rally late in the year. Usually perfect weather, and some of the best riding in the middle section of the country. You made the right choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowpuc Posted July 27, 2013 Share #25 Posted July 27, 2013 Tippy n I are leaving Sacremento today and heading up to Lassen national park, than over to Redwoods and from there up to Crater Lake. gonna hit Yellowstone and do a little cow towning in western montana and that should put us inline for the sturgis ralley on the way back to michigan. I just finished fixing the tail light on the 83 at an all night gas station so probably a late morning depart. I have been going to the rally since 1973, have pretty much wore out the party seen BUT go for the late night chats with other builders down on mainstreet - usually thats where you will find us. Be great to meet up with some of you and say howdy!! I always tent camp about a mile east of the buffalo chip on the praire - quite, cool and peaceful...
