Dragonslayer Posted July 30, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2008 I've been wanting to do this trip for the past five years. But, every year when the time came I didn't have all my ducks in a row so I couldn't go. Who ever made up the "ducks in a row" rule was really starting to get my goat. I even started believing that getting ducks in a row was an excercise in futility . I just knew it was an impossible task to complete. Like stacking BBs, Programing the VCR, getting the C clip out of the end of the clutch master cylinder, logging more miles ridden or states visited than Wildhair39, understanding what really goes on in the mind of a woman, perpetual motion, staying ahead of the current technology cutting edge. But before I could carve it in stone that it just simply couldn't be done those ding dang ducks marched right up and stood in a row. My real estate projects all got finished sold and closed, all my promises and commitments got satisfied, the scoot is ready after spending the last two weeks tearing her apart and putting her back together.....AGAIN, the trailer is packed, time, money and inclination, check, check, check. I guess those silly ducks just wanted to humble me further by proving me wrong,,,,,AGAIN. So the only thing I can do now is humbly get on the scoot and head out for Sturgis. Which is exactly what I'll be doing before sunrise menyanna. STURGIS, SOUTH DAKOTA 2008 OR BUST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubber Posted July 30, 2008 Share #12 Posted July 30, 2008 Been there! Bought the T shirt (last weekend). Have a great and safe trip. Bring lots of money, becaue the hotels go up 300% from normal at least that is what I was told. One hotel owner wondered if there was a boycot because reservations were down from previous years. I saw plenty of bikes heading that way so I am not sure that is true. Ride safe Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
