Back from Sturgis

Wow, was that place ever fun. I got up at sunrise everyday and rode around Custer State Park. Can't wait till next year

 

Here are some pictures.

 

More hooters pics.
Glad you made it out alive.

 

Nice seat, nice pads..nice air bags.
Ya sturgis was a blast in 2006, imagine it was a blast this year..where there more sport bikes?
when i went i saw 2 others in the entire state.

 

I believe it's a stock seat with a Bagster Seat cover. I bought it used and the guy put a lot of extras on it. The tank cover and tank bag are also from Bagster. It's a European company that makes top notch stuff. The tank bag attaches to the tank cover with a seat belt type buckle. It's very nice and all you have to do is unclip front and back on one side to get to the gas cap. Or if the GPS isn't installed you can just unclip the two in the back and flip the bag up.

 

Yea, not a lot of sportbikes up there but it's funny how many people trailer their bikes there. I bought a shirt that says "I rode mine" There is so much to see and so much to do.

 

I had a GREAT time and didn't have any problems with any of the bikers. Most of them are all rich posers anyway. Loading up their big trailers and pulling them from all over in there gas guzziler SUV/truck. I rode mine over 500 miles each way and probably rode another 600 riding in the hills every morning before all the bikers woke up.

I didn't ride it downtown sturgis and park it in the middle though but I did see a few sportbikers who did. All in all everyone had a good attitude and was there to have fun.

 

I know!!!!! I think riding mine and having Alberta plates made me stand out. They knew not to say anything derogitory or i'd bust out the ole "ya well i rode mine".
Honestly though the people there where amazingly friendly and receptive. I hate to say it but they where a lot more receptive than a sport bike group would be to a cruiser.
Would love for you to upload more pictures, takes me back down memory lane and i doubt i'll be back as i am now married.

 

Ok, here are a few more.

 

More, more, more.

 

And a few more.

 

And finally some more.

 

Nice, thanks for the show.

 

Nice, I will always rember that trip and recomend it to everyone.
They do not sem to have gotten far on crazy horse, have some neat pictures from up top.
Some crazy people there..Can't wait to go home and re-go through my pictures.

 

Wow, 2 other brave VFR riders there, huh? cool.

 

I've never had trouble in the Hills or Sturgis, outside of a couple of friendly guys who offered to p@#s in my helmet. :smile:

 

I was up there too. You must have been up there earlier then me. I seen that white one leaving on the interstate(woman rider) going east. I went out there thursday(7th). Did not take as many pics as you did, but I have been out there before and figured it was nothing nobody has not already seen. Maybe next year we could plan on riding up together, im in sioux falls. Anyways it was awesome, my first time up there on a bike and it was a different world then being in a car. Put on over 1000 miles riding there(340) and back(340) then whatever else I put on from friday to sunday. Was going to be out there till wenesday but decided to ride back sunday night. Got home around 2-3. Won't do that again, but it was a spure of the moment thing. Did see a pretty good looking girl on a silver 6th gen but did not have time to catch or take a pic.

 

Thanks for sharing, Tbone. I've been there a couple of times but not during the week. There sure is great riding in the area.
