Hello Bart, sounds like a fun ride. AmyLee and I made it to Mt. Rushmore last year during the Sturgis Rally. We used www.rafterj.com as our base camp. All I can think of, for advice is take plenty of pics,and take your rain gear, Wyoming and South Dakota has their share of afternoon thunderstorms. Have a fun and trouble free trip.

Rain gear good call, dont want to be doing the wildhog thing(sitting under plastic). Did you ride all the way and how long did it take you. Chowchilla wow I bought the bike from a man in Merced. Drop a line if you ever want to go on a ride. Thank

2nd on the rain gear.
Guess, what one thing I took out of my bags, since I was going to Utah in August was? I think Boise got an inch of rain in less than 24 hours. I was in the middle of it.
