I went last year, don't believe the hype about it being a bunch of rowdy law breakers... I had a blast, and the riding was some of the best I've ever seen. I stayed at a bed and breakfast in Custer, South Dakota... about 70 miles from Sturgis. WildMike also went last year, he's from your neck of the woods, maybe he'll chime in or you can pm him for logistical tips. I saw only nine Triumphs there, 4 were Rockets a couple Bonnys, and 3 America/Speedys. I'm really glad I went, a lot of the guys here will say don't do it, too expensive, too crowded, whatever. I will be going back, not this year, but within the next couple. There is a lot to see and do out there, if you can make it, do it. But, be ready for all the old timers to tell you about the Bonneville/Trophy/Tiger/Daytona/Speed Twin they used to have that they never should have gotten rid of.
