2010 Sturgis Trip

Archive for the ‘Pre-trip’ Category

Departure time will be Thursday, August 5th at O-dark-thirty!

This is the 70th year for the Sturgis Rally and Big Steve and I (JimmyV) are going again to see if anything has changed – lol.  It only seems to get bigger, although the economy has put a dent in it lately.  Still about 500,000 to 700,000 bikes are expected during the rally – they may not be there all at once as the rally lasts a week (or two?).

We will try and post while we are riding, but we also are beta testing a new SPOT plug-in on this web page.  A sample of it is below.  Go under the “Current Location and Weather” tab to learn how to use it, then come back here to the map below to test it out.  Below is a trip I took last week to the Mid-State fair grounds in Paso Robles with Shai to see Aerosmith play.  If you click on the points, you’ll get weather and street view info.  This year while we are riding, you can follow along on the “Current Location” tab and see the weather that we are riding in and the area too.

But we want comments because we should be able to read them when we stop for gas or coffee.  So post a comment now so I can clear you from moderation before we leave.

So Read up on the other pages, SUBSCRIBE, learn the site, and sit back on ride with us while your at work!
