    Most likely to be seen at the Stonehouse Saloon on Wednesday day, Drag Pipe Saloon on Thursday day or Full Throttle Saloon on Thursday night. Those are the only times over the two weeks that I know where I will be! Glencoe is a campground right down the street directly across from the Full Throttle. Look forward to running into you!

    Our return trip from Yellowstone took us through Sturgis.  I'd never been there when there weren't motorcycles all over and I wanted to see what downtown was like on a calm day.  I imagined a sleepy little town but it was busier than I thought. There are a couple of new bars in town.  Sorry, I neglected to get pics of 'em.  Still, it definitely was a lot more laid back and I'm more into that these days anyway.   So, no.  We won't be doing the rally this year.

    This is our year! We ride up from Escondido Ca. every fifth year We will be staying in the cow pasture called the Iron Horse Campground. Nothing fancy but it's cheap and kind of attracts an old school crowd that ride from where ever. Were leaving the 2nd and were riding to Reno Nv then Salt lake city, then onto Casper Wy. then heading into Sturgis the following morning. Good riding and may God bless all those who are riding to Sturgis this year.

    Hey jimmyA that looks like what it was for us last year. we were there 2 wks before the rally on the way to a family reunion in N. Dakota! Was quite calm then too. so for me it will be fun to see and be part of the wild side!!! I just hope I dont get the camera of Full Throttle Show catching my wild side~!! LOL!

    so tell me claudia n Clay, how does one get into the concerts at Glencoe?? Do you have to be a camper there??? or are they open to the public? Are they cheaper than the main ones at Buffalo Chip? or about the same?? been looking at the schedule of things and just curious.

    We are riding out on the 8th and coming back on the 11th. We stayed at the Iron Horse last year and have several friends staying there again this year. We're staying at the ranch north of Sturgis about 60 miles with some friends.

    Change in plans we will be staying at the Lamphere Ranch Campground. We made the change because we had the opportunity to ship our camping gear to there site UPS. Has anyone ever stayed there? We just saw pictures and enjoy staying on that end of town.

    I'm going, will leave afternoon today .  Picking up a friend in Minot ND and then driving down to Sturgis.   Yes driving.  I will not ride my Knuckle that far; in any case, trailering is the only way to get two machines there .  See pic of loaded trailer with the rat Knucklehead and pristine 67 Triumph.   The 50 Studebaker tow vehicle has Chevy S-10 chassis, 350 Vortec engine, and  4 speed Saginaw trans.

    Wheels, we are Lamphere is right across the street from us at Glencoe. We may see you coming or going! It is really all a part of the same original ranch, but they broke it in half and sold the Glencoe part. But it is all beautiful river bottom country with lots of grass and trees. You will like it!

    Were leaving in the morning. We should be rolling into Sturgis Tuesday am. Hopefully we will run into you guys.

    Any updates from Sturgis? Bikersue, wheels, and flatsalt, did u make it there? I have been hearing that the number of people seams to be down, but a couple of the campgrounds that I know are sold out except for tent camping. Well, I guess I'll see in a couple of more days. Maybe I can post some pics from my phone.

    Think I will shoot for the 2015 CF Bash year. Love to meet the lot of ya. I did make a meet N greet back in Bowling Greek Ky. a few years ago and except for the crash I loved putting faces for names.
