Rain here this afternoon..Have ro get the grass cut before it does..Or buy a cow to eat it

Me too...haven't mowed in 2 weeks between the rain and our Sturgis trip.

SD DOT indicates 499,654 vehicles entered Sturgis during the rally this year... Vehicles, not just motorcycles. So if everyone only went into/through Sturgis twice like we did...that means 250,000 attendees, if all w are bikes...lol. Even less, when considering everyone east of town pretty much gets...

So what is the official date for Sturgis 2020 ? Seems to be some confusion over it

Friday Aug 7 - Sunday Aug 16,2020 ...since 2016, the rally is 10 days long starting the first Friday in August, compared to the old Mon-Sunday 7 day rally.

Sturgis was busy Saturday and Monday when we stopped, also I've never had to wait to get through Needles tunnel...so my guess it was a good turnout early in the week?

Leaving today, once my bride gets off work. We should be in Rapid tomorrow around noon. Ride safe everyone, and try to have a little fun

I predict it's going to be a rainy than normal rally...

We arrive Friday...doesn t look too bad the first half of week.

Tomorrow, I am headed to Encampment which is where we have another place and also where we store our toy hauler. Encampment is 60 miles away and I am going to go get the toy hauler to bring it back here so we can get it ready for Sturgis. We will leave the morning of the 1st and will be staying at ...

Just read in the Rapid City Journal the Sturgis Ambulance is running short of funds. If you or a friend have $85,000... please send it in to assist our riding brothers during this rally with full ambulance service.
Or, just feel to send it directly to me...now that would be a fun rally.

Leaving for ABATE of Iowa's Freedom Rally in the AM. Doesn't seem possible, we're leaving for Sturgis in only 4 weeks.

4 weeks tomorrow for us...

A local newspaper is reporting confusion for the 2020 Rally...suppose to start on the first Saturday in August since the 2016 change to a 10 day rally(which has probably helped the (inflated) attendance numbers the last few years). Guess the city of Sturgis had it starting on July 31 on their websit...
