Don't miss next years reservations! Plan going again. Unless you are going for more than a week, you will miss a lot! Been to Sturgis 3 times. Averaged 225 miles a day and did 2 days in and around sturgis. We would get there Fri. night and leave Sat. afternoon. 7 days was not enough.

In Sturgis (the town) don't do anyting stupid.&nbsp\\; Lots of chicks to look at and lots of bikes to run into.&nbsp\\; Show off with a cop around and you'll get a ticket and they tend to be pricey!&nbsp\\; Buffalo Chip Campground&nbsp\\; used to have a afternoon ride parade on the campground (clothes optional).

Don't miss the turn in the road on those beautiful rides in the Hills.&nbsp\\;Seriously, I've seen way to many, inexperienced,or half drunk guys riding way over their skill level. Too many people getting hurt. Have fun ,Ride safe. Sorry to preach.

Don't know if you are going to party or ride. If you're going to ride check this site out. The wife and I will be using these roads. http://www.motorcycleroads.us/states/sd.html
