A couple of rides that are very cool, Needels Hwy, Iron Mt. Road, and Spearfish Canyon.
Vanauker Canyon is also pretty nice. Also not to be missed is Mt. Rushmore. We stay at Bear Butte Creek Campground, you can google it and read about it. They have bands,bar and cook shack, showers. Last year was 20.00 a nite a person. It is fairly quite. A couple of the big bars to go to are Full Throttle,both of the Broken Spoke locations. Also One Eyed Jacks down town is very good for girl watching. As others have said prepare for any and all weather. We have never gone and not been rained on at some point in our trip. Hope this helps. You can pm me if you have other questions. Wr.

I went in 2007 and like Frankjake got bent over and paid $200 plus per night at a Hampton Inn in Spearfish. My mistake was booking at the last minute and not doing my homeweork. I plan on going back in 2009 and am already in the process of planning it out. It was a fantastic trip nonetheless and I highly recommend it. Great riding!!
You can still go out and party if that's on the agenda.

Going to sturgis this coming year for the first time also. I am REALLY looking forward to it but I've heard that the lodging is going to be expensive. There will be two other couples going along with my wife and me. We are in the process of looking at renting a house right now. I can't believe the price they asking and getting but I guess that is to be expected. See ya come August
