How many DUer's would attend Sturgis Bike Rally if they could?

1. I've attended the Laconia one several times a long time ago.

Back then, I might have thought about Sturgis, but I'm too tired for that shit these days. :-) I think a couple of my friends may have gone to Sturgis once or twice, but I can't remember.

Why do you ask? Are you going to Sturgis?

12. I'm just curious if there are any bad boy bikers here at DU.

I'm not going, my bad boy biker days are behind me now. I love the Black Hills and encourage anyone who has never been there to go. I don't have a bike at the moment. (I can't afford a Harley.) My brother in-law invited me to ride my sisters bike with him and some Marine Corps buddies. It's tempting but I travel alot for work and need the vacation time for my family.

2. Maybe for the boobies

But not for the Harleys or because I anticipate a critical mass of poseurs being reached.

9. "critical mass of poseurs being reached"

You got that right! Hell, even Sonny B doesn't ride a Harley anymore.

5. Me Me Me!!

I was there in 1998. Wasn't sure how much I'd like it - as I know it can get CRAZY. Turned out I LOVED it. Everyone should go at least once - bike or no bike. It's the best place to people watch - EVER.

6. I was up in the Black Hills of South Dakota

and named Rocky Racoon....

We were in deadwood, which isn't all that far from Sturgis...

A lot of spill over.....

A lot of accountants and dentists on showroom Harley's.....

7. I've seen a lot of that here. It made me homesick for...

my hard riding, hard partying Partners (most of whom are dead).

10. I know what you mean...

in my wilder days, I had a lot of freinds bite the pavement, as they use to say when one died....

But I had drifted away from a lot of them, just running into them now and then, at a bar....

I went to college....

They didn't

[BikeWriter]

11. LOL! I know the feeling. I went to work, most of them didn't.

:)

8. I always wanted to go..
