Sturgis 2014

[DTR 11TG]

Texan, I had it pretty well figured out, that's why I said "and/or location", but I thought it would be more fun to post it the way I did, just being a wize azz!

The real joke is, the first year I went I didn't even know about real reason all the bikers were in Sturgis, I thought they were there to watch us race! And even after that it took me 4 or 5 years before I went downtown to check everything out, if it wasn't a race bike I could have cared less.

If I remember correctly, it was shootings & fights that was the spark that created the Buffalo Chip & places like it, the crazy bikers needed a place to stay & Sturgis didn't want them 24 yrs a day all rally long.

I know its late but I would like to ride to Sturgis this year. All the lodging is very expensive does anybody share lodging? I am 72 years old and my wife will not be going. Also would like to ride up with someone, I live in the Kansas City area. If you would like to share lodging or ride let me know.

If we get enough interest and a couple of you guys are willing to organize this, we will put it into our annual events roster and publicize it. Marge & I have our hands full as it is so its up to you to pull it together, but we will attend and help. We have already been invited to participate with the Roadsmith guys at their T.O.U.R. event at the Buffalo Chip including some on-stage time to promote TrikeTalk.com and T.O.I. and also have a standing invitation for a Lehman tour and mini-meet-greet at their facility. You might say we're pretty well connected with all the trike manufacturers and enjoy a great friendship with them all. I think it would be a lot if fun. What say you?

[DTR 11TG]

Hi again Jerry, Its not too late & glad you found the spot. I'm going to Sturgis this year and may be coming thru the KC area to get there. There is plenty of time, we can stay in touch or someone else might be looking for a riding partner. I'm going to be camping so I can't help with sharing lodging unless you bring a tent. What are you riding to Sturgis, I'm riding my '11 Tri Glide, towing my Mini Mate camper.

[DTR 11TG]

... What say you?

I'm not sure, it seems it's too hard to get you to answer or reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Zook, I just couldn't pass that up. You were far nicer to that person then I would have been.

As far as Sturgis, we have time & this thread is starting to get attention, so we'll play it by ear. I will be at the T.O.U.R., so I'm hoping we will have good group from TT & TOI.
I plan to make a 2 flag poles fixture for my hitch, does TT & TOI have or sell flags that I can fly on the T.O.U.R.?



ATTN: If you send a PM or email, I get dozens per day, so I may just not answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be riding 2002 Goldwing. Only had it about a month. I seen some camping site had tents for rent. Camping is about all I can afford. Looking forward to the ride. Let me know what's going on.

Randy,

I was glad to see that you have an interest in this event and will be attending the T.O.U.R. this year. I've personally communicated with Tom, (aka 92fxsts) who started this thread, suggesting that the T.O.U.R. might be a great place for TT/TOI members to meet up for a get-together that were planning on making the Sturgis Rally. I personally attended the T.O.U.R. last year and can say with no hesitation, that I thought it was a great success. I also met and have a personal relationship with Kirk Rush, one of the major organizer of the T.O.U.R. with Roadsmith. I'm also the TOI coordinator for SD. I would be happy to lend my support with the organization of TT/TOI meet/ride during this event.

Click on the link below, it is from Buffalo Chips website for the 2013 T.O.U.R., but it explains everything.
I have exchanged emails with Carol Woodruff/Buffalo Chip and she let me know that the 2014 T.O.U.R. registration page will be up by Feb.15, we can all start signing up then.

for those heading to Sturgis, im envious.. for the first timers, your going to love it, as a stand alone trip it was worth the time, money, and distance to get there from the other side of the planet. and youll enjoy the ride.
The event isnt just in sturgis , its the whole Black hills area and youll find plenty venture further.. if you have a spare ride day (there are so many excellent rides) check out the Badlands.

Or find Nemo...

[Texan]

...............check out the Badlands.


Or find Nemo...

Years ago an old timer told me that you hadn't been to Sturgis 'til ya toured the Bad Lands, went out the south east gate and had a cold beer at the Interior, SD bar. Always take the Sturgis virgins there. VERY rustic establishment.

Finding Nemo, Nemo, SD that is. Found Nemo a couple years ago when we were told they had the best 'all you can eat' breakfast. They weren't wrong, BEST in the Black Hills !

Hey Jeff, its not too late to plan your return trip to Sturgis 2014, your right about riding the badlands, I'm thinking of getting there a day or 2 ahead so I can ride with a little less traffic. How is Elise doing, still good I hope?

Is that the little bar on the north side of 44, called The Horseshoe or Horseshoe Bar?

Do you remember the name of that breakfast place, some friends & I found a great place on an early morning ride after heading south out of Rapid City, but none of us can remember the name.
