    My brother and I will be going the week before the official start of Sturgis. Most of the vendors and attractions are set up the week before . Rooms are still regular price and 60% less people.

    Would love to, but bike is in storage in TX, and I am stuck in the sand/dust of Iraq...can't convince my chain of command that I need emergency leave for Sturgis, SO, that means I will miss it.

    Chris, I hope your staying safe and come home soon.
    I am not going to Sturgis this year either (obviously I got lesser reasons than you), but when I think about not going it just tears me up inside. I love taking that week to ride around the country, going camping, meeting new people. It's like an addiction. I need the 12 step Sturgis program. Next year though and let's not forget 2010 the 70 year anniversary.. yeeaah
