I made the trip from Alberta, Canada in 2011. We stayed in Rapid City at the Ramada. It was affordable and had a pool and bar inside, with a restaurant in the same parking lot. It is a motel set up so we drove the bikes right to the door. They also had a complimentary bike wash with fresh clean drying towels. It is also right on the hwy so easy access to all points of interest.

We are going again this year 12 of us. We are staying right in Sturgis at the super 8. We thought this would be better because in 2011 we missed out on some good parties in Sturgis because we couldn't get **** faced! So we made do went to Sturgis in the day and partied in Rapid City in the evenings which is nto even close to cool. Also many of the Rapid city cabs just hang out in Sturgis so getting a ride is next to impossible.

Most vendors and stuff are set up the week prior, rates are cheaper and a lot less crowded. If your in Custer, dont miss Custer State Park. Great ride and sites.
See ya there! Just booked Aug. 9 - 16 at chief motel

Planning a trip from Oregon to attend this year for the first time. Generally is everything close to Sturgis booked by now? Should I just look a Custer, etc? We will be fairly small group with an RV chaser and will be looking for an RV spot. Any tips/help appreciated!

I'm riding out from Phoenix. I live in Oceanside Ca. But my bike will be getting worked on in Phoenix and were leaving from there. We have a cabin at full throttle and may be meeting up with some buddies in Idaho or Colorado.
