Its now under two weeks until we leave for Sturgis, its amazing how fast this trip came up. It seemed like August would never come back in the winter when we started planning for it. Actually, the trip has been planned for years but the time is finally right to do it
The plan is to leave on Friday July 27 and take about a week getting out to the Black Hills. The route will take us out to Illinois on I-90 and 80 and then switch to a more relaxed sightseeing mode, with lots of backroads, through Iowa and Nebraska. We'll have about 5 days to take in the Sturgis Rally before heading home. We hope to make it home in 3 1/2 days, not fun but sometimes you just have to do it.
At this point, there should be 4 of us taking the trip. Me and Mare, Scott and Sandy on our 04 Electra Glide Classics. Sandy just decided at the last minute to take the trip out with us and fly home after a week or 10 days on the road. I hope it works out and she can arrange a flight on short notice.
Other than that we're still gathering gear and doing some last minute maintenance on the bikes. New batteries, fluid changes and basic adjustments.

Cindy say's she'll check in on you from time to time from her comfy desk chair....Void of the Blue Ridge Mt. pillows of last years ride. As for me....take lots of pics and stop the bike if it hails...sure does make your face hurt. Have a great time...be safe!
