Sturgis Video Observations

(1/3) > >>

TN Mark:
No, I'm not at Sturgis. I can't even ride yet after full left knee replacement. So, I watch a few Sturgis videos and made a few observations.

Lots of Boss Hoss and V8 trikes
Lots of couples which is nice to see
Lots of riders with handlebars so high and arms so straight they can barely negotiate their bikes in parking lots
If you have a Harley and think it's somehow 'special', go to Sturgis. There are dozens of others exactly like your 'special'.
I spotted a few beautiful Victory bikes
So far I only saw one Moto Guzzi CA 1400, Black, two up. The bike and the couple looked awesome.

Yea, I know WG isn't the regular 'Sturgis' crowd. But, a few observations nonetheless.

bacongrease:

 More and more trikes each year, and more various 3 wheelers.   More small bikes. I rode the FXR, could anyone fix the Stone if there was an issue.      :huh:

MarcoSolo:
I was on 90/94 in Wisconsin going east Sunday morning and west Sunday afternoon and there were bunches of bikes headed west. Lots of rain in the morning but they were bombing nonetheless.

Vagrant:
Going to Sturgis on my hog. Ha! I just drove from a fishing trip N. of Winnepeg to Ga. 1600 miles. I took I 29 and I 70 all the way through North and South Dakota, Nebraska a bit of Iowa and Kansas. I saw tons of Harley trailers heading there. There few actual riders and they were about 1/2 trikes.

Ten years ago we were on our way to Oregon coming across South Dakota on Hwy 212. We stopped in Newell for lunch along with a lot of other bikers. I was thinking if riding through Sturgis just to see what it was all about until someone mentioned it took 3 hours to get through town. Being all loaded up for our trip that didn’t seem like much fun so we pressed on skipping Sturgis. That night in Gillette we were watching the news of traffic backed up for miles on I-90 near Rapid City. 212 had almost no traffic and you could travel any speed you wanted to.
