Pictures from our 2011 Sturgis Trip

http://s1234.photobucket.com/albums/...turgis%202011/

We rode Needles Highway, Iron Mountain Road, Spearfish Canyon, and I-90 to Sundance, WY to head to Devils Tower. Spent 4 1/2 days in the area and rode 924 miles total.

We left the morning of Sunday, August 7th which was a good thing. The Bandidos MC had a strong presence on Saturday and then the Angels and Mongols got into a knife fight a couple days later.

We had a blast and can't wait for 2012. We like to be there early. Most vendors are set up and open for business already, and the crowds aren't as nuts yet, and the real hardcore bikers don't seem to show up till the first Saturday of the rally.

Nice photos! I hope to make it back there soon. That area has some of the best rides I've ever been on.

Lots of girls in bathing suits or less! I like the 57 Chevy trike.

That is something for the north central to consider...I thought about it about 5 seconds before reading your post. GMTA.

The Black Hills are some great riding. Sometime you need to travel up the Rockies and head over there.
