I am actually going in two weeks, first for me. Going with a bunch of cruisers, friends i've known for years. As it stands now, we are going to Clinton, for the testicle festival on the way. I'm told that sturgis is a choir practice compared to the Teste Feste.
i'll be riding the blue fjr with all the harleys :D

I'm heading for the East Coast with a friend on a Harley Sportster starting tomorrow. Sturgis happens to be in the way coming back at the beginning of August. I'll have to see if it can be avoided.

Yep, planning to head out on the 6th, with a couple Harley's as well. We will be tenting it, $250.00 a night was a quote a pal of mine got for rooms. Going really to Mt. Rushmore and some surrounding spots, Sturgis will be a sidebar, not our main intent. But it's bucket list scratch-off. As will be the Colorado mountains on the return ride---camping too for that matter.

If you are going on the 1st, that's quite early huh, it doesn't start till the 8th.

Yeah, I had no interest in rubbing elbows with the great unwashed. The riding in the area is great, as I have been told for some time. :)

My father and I are toying with the idea of going. If we go we'll be leaving from Colorado Springs, CO on Aug 9th. I just want to have been there, done that and see this thing for myself.
