mez,
How was bike week this year? How many fatalities were there. Beautiful area out there. I hunted antelope just in Wyoming a few years back. Killed my goat the 2nd day. I then visited all of the "sites" in the area. I drove down the main street in Sturgis and remembered all the bikes they show on tv. I need to make it out there one year for the rally. I got to Daytona bike week this year. People crashing all over.
Pretty tame, the numbers were way down this year. You could get a hotel room in Sturgis mid week. I think there were only 4-5 fatals this year. Not bad for Sturgis. You should definately see it. Even when numbers are down it is a spectacle.
