Are there any other MP3er's that will be attending the Sturgis South Motorcycle Rally? Five of us, a Honda ST1300, a highly customized 1978 Honda Gold Wing known as the"Immaculate Contraption", a Yamaha Virago, a Harley FLXYZ something-er-another, and my MP3-500, will be departing Baton Rouge for Sturgis in the early hours of August 13th. Anyone from the area or along the way are welcome to join us. PM me for details. If others will be in attendance, let me know and we can at least connect somewhere to meet. I would love to see a group of MP3'S riding together among all of the "proper" motorcycles.

Well, THAT should be interesting. We expect a full report of course.
Personally, the further from Sturgis the better, but good for you for going!

While you are close, ride the road over towards Mt. Rushmore, I forget the road--but it is a famous motorcycle road and I can find out if need be--
and check out the "pigtails", I have never seen these anywhere else, the road corkscrews up in about 3 tight turns in order to gain elevation in short order. Tailor made for the MP3!

Rob,

I will have lots of pictures. However, riding to Mt. Rushmore might be just a wee bit out of the way because this is the Sturgis South Motorcycle Rally and is held in Sturgis, Mississippi rather than Sturgis, South Dakota.

You are so lazy not to ride just a little farther! The "pigtails' would be so worth it! I didn't know there was a Sturgis South. Are they franchising this thing now? Have fun anyway!

Pigtails?

There are actually a number of "Sturgis" bike rallies around the country. This one is 13 years old and usually has an attendance between twenty and thirty five thousand people. By the way, the town of Sturgis, Mississippi has an official population of 280 people! This will be my 4th year and each have been a lot of fun. I am looking forward to it.
