Just an FYI that the 80th Sturgis Rally and the Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally are still on.
Hope to see you there :yes:
We are still planning on Deadwood. Less tourists,better riding.
We are so in!!!
I plan on being to D3WR also. See you all there
Thank you for the update Rapid. :bowdown:
We are going to adopt a wait and see and hoping there will be no second wave of the virus. We are considering the DW rally. Sturgis not our cup of tea. The whole area is some fantastic riding though. When in MN and WI, I went to the Black Hills every year. Linda has been there once with me.
Rooms not an issue for us, Linda has relative in Rapid City.
Time will tell. :yes:
Sturgis City Council will vote on the fate of this years Rally on June 15th

Thanks for posting that, I was going to share that myself. Optimistic that it’s going to happen, there were 4 places that had dining in open on our ride yesterday. 1 on Hwy 44 near Hisega and 3 breweries between 3 forks and Hill City. Rapid City city counsel meets tonight, and there’s talk Deadwood might be opening up soon. Here’s hoping, most of our cases of the virus are east river.
On a side note saw quite a few out of state license plates, it looks like the tourists are starting to come. Maybe they’re escapees from the “lockdown” states.
June !!!
Deadwood opened back up last Thursday, we’ve been up there a couple times. Not quite as busy as normal but it was nice to see tourists out. Seeing more out of state license plates. They did however cancel the Hills Alive music festival for this summer which was around the same time as the Deadwood 3 wheeler rally.
Still watching to see if the three wheel rally in Deadwood is "officially" on or off. We were wanting to attend that one, but also a little hinky about a "second wave" of the virus kicking in. For us, attending is still up in the air.
We do not have to worry about hotel reservations because of relatives in Rapid City. We are covered there. He told us that Badlands National Park was now open.
He also mentioned that he just bought a 2015 Spyder RT. This will be his first. He is keeping the Gold Wing also. So if you see a pack of red, orange, and yellow spyders on the road...guess who?? :roflblack:
My son’s 84 lives in my garage...
Talked to Teresa yesterday and she said it is on !!!!!!
Just an update, the Buffalo Chip said that they were going ahead regardless of what the city of Sturgis decides to do. Sturgis is supposed to decide the 15th what they are going to do.

Wifey is planning on taking her Spyder over for the trike rally, as long as I can tag along with my two-wheeler. Is that frowned upon?
Well my son helps with rides and he is either on the Goldwing or his Victory so... Good question though. Under the FAQ on the site it says:
Will there be a problem if a person in our group is riding two-wheels while the rest of us are on 3?
While this event is designed with trikers in mind we certainly understand that everyone in your group may not be riding a trike. Two-wheeled registrants are welcome.
That’s tge nice thing about the Spyder crowd we don’t discriminate against your ride.
It’s official.

There are a lot of bikes in the area already. Lots of local riders of course, but a lot of out of staters too. We had to run up to Sturgis yesterday to pick up my daughters yearbook and there were a lot of tourists there even in the morning. The 80th won't likely be as big as originally expected, but I am guessing it will still be fairly big. People have been cooped up too long and want to get out...
Can’t Waite to ride to the rally leaving from Texas on the 8th see you guys out their safe travels
