There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Make the Deadwood Rally first then hit Sturgis, IMHO Sturgis is highly overrated just like Bourbon Street and Mardi Gras . 40 years ago a lot more fun but now just a reason for a lot of bad behavior. A great time to go to Sturgis is a week BEFORE Bike Week, you can still get the experience but miss most of the crowd and some of the stupid people. Enjoy your trip, once you ride the Black Hills you will understand why the Sioux fought so hard to hold on to it.

We'll be going to Deadwood 3 Wheel Rally and getting outta dodge before the dumb arrives in town for the Sturgis Rally. There is NO way I could deal with that many people. I hope that the Deadwood Rally is somewhat limited to under 1000 folks. Less is more for rallies in my opinion.

Those who previously posted are correct. Even during the Deadwood Three Wheel Rally people will be arriving for the Sturgis Rally. Been
there numerous times. First time was 1967 and rode a BSA 441 from Minneapolis. My hands are still numb from the vibration. It is exciting
at times and you will have to be tolerant of the crazies and Loonies. First time I have seen a couple riding a Harley Totally Naked. Yep and
many more things that will shock most.
After attending many times our general operandi was arrive two to three weeks early and leave opening day. All the venders and crazies
will be there two to three weeks early also. We will make a couple of runs to Sturgis to have a beer at the Broken Spoke and One eyed
Jacks during the TWR.

Besides the traffic another reason to come here early (or late) is to avoid the fleecing of the bikers. Everything gets crazy expensive during the Rally. The smart ones have learned to either come early and catch the first few days or arrive toward the end then stay after it is done. The really crazy stuff has moved to the smaller towns nearby in WY due to increased Law Enforcement presence in Sturgis.

Thanks for the tip. I am a little like the guy who said "I never met a man I didn't like" except in my case I never met a meal I didn't like!

Sounds like a destination ride to me, or at least a waypoint. Only about 15 minutes up Boulder Canyon from Deadwood!

I'll be there!
I'm going with some friends. While I'm not that interested in Sturgis, we are going early to see Mt. Rushmore, The Black Hills and the Badlands national parks. We will catch the first couple days of Sturgis and then head home. We will be able to say we've been there! But that really isn't the part I'm looking forward to.

We rode 1,500 miles to Sturgis last year, 1,000 miles while I was there, and 1500 miles back home. No Problems. We stayed in Hill City. They reported about 500,000-600,000 people would be there over two weeks. We are starting a 30 day ride July 7, going west and ending up in Sturgis again this year and I expect to enjoy it again.....Every biker should go at least once in their life time. Lets Ride.........

Now that is a classic picture.You should have a quality enlargement made,frame it and hang it on the wall. Great picture.
I have one in office on the wall. There use to be one in our local bar in my home town. I am the only one living. I was 16 years old and the other three were 18 at the time. We had travel Colorado Rocky Mountain National Park and Black Hills. We camp the hole trip except one night and stayed that night in Custer, So. Dakota.
