any suggestions on what route to take to sturgis.we have 2 weeks to get there and back.we do not want to stay on the interstate the whole time going there looking for some scenic rides to break it up.thanks and ride safe and enjoy the ride......

 

thinking about makin the trip this year also.trailered a number of years ago but want to ride

 

I'm not a big fan of Interstates either. Interested in a loose group ride out there?

 

It will take a day or so just to fight your way through the LIE. Having driven from the that part of the country to the midwest numerous times I would use the interstate to get west of the Mississippi then look for scenery. Save your time for riding the scencic roads in the Black Hills, head over to Heulet, WY maybe head further west to Cody and ride the Joseph Scenic byway. The Beartooth pass is worth the trip.

 

We'll be riding out of eastern MA. doing the interstates though...boring? oh yeah

 

i am still not sure of our route yet. maybe get there on interstate so we have plenty of days of riding out west. we are also thinking about going to col. before we head back to ny......

 

A lot of the direct US routes such as rt 6 and rt 20 run too close to the great lakes and heavier populated areas that will slow you down too much.

My son just went to Wisconsin for a two week vacation in his pickup. It took two days to get that far on the interstate. Sturigs is about another 500 miles. So three days out, three back if you Interstate it, 14 - 6 = 8 days. Bike can turn 3 days into 4.5 to 5 days out. Then your left with 4 days there.

Only you know how many days you want to stay in Sturgis or just riding out west. So I would I it past Chicago at the least or figure how many miles you can cover in one day on a bike then take the US routes from that point.

Let us now what you did and how it went.

 

We figured we would just go for a 2 week ride so realy where ever we end up that will be fine no res. Anywhere so we will see how it goes. Figure we ride 5-600 miles a day or 2-300 miles it doesnt matter we will be ridin........

 

You're 2000 mi give or take from sturgis, or 4- 500 mile days, I'd run the interstates to sturgis and sight see out there.

 

yes thats what we will most likely do maybe get off the i=state alittle bit.
