Can't make Sturgis this year? Here you go...a non-bike-guy walkaround

The whole thing has gotten way too big and commercial. My cousin and I were talking about riding out when he got done building his low rider and I bought my bike. That was like the 80s. Probable a little more tolerable then.

Agreed, and exactly why I have zero interest in attending...but it sure is beautiful riding country the rest of the year, at least when it's not snowy.

I ran into one of my friends at a friend's funeral back in 2019. He just bought this custom bike, billet everything. Lost his front brake and the part would have to be custom made by a machine shop. He rode it both ways with no front brake. ?

Same with Daytona Bike Week. I quit going when it turned into a costume party for the RUB & DINK crowd & only went downhill from there. S. Dakota is on my bucket list of places to travel, just not when the the rally is going on!
