Sturgis Tip #3: "Learners"

Every biker was once a beginner..Motorcycling needs newbies, too.

Every run has it's share of beginners, learners, newbies, whatever tag you give to those who either haven't mastered the "art" of two wheeled transportation, or are in the process of becoming familiar with a brand new bike. Why should this be of concern to you, the experienced biker? You won't ask that question after one of them almost tips a 'wing over at the next stop light, in the lane next to you.. trust me, it happens.


New riders, who've already bought that new machine, or you just got your mc endorsement, take some time to rack up those "get to know you" miles, and please consider coming to downtown Sturgis during early in the day hours when the bike traffic is not so heavy. We pushed a lady's touring Kawi into a parking lot because her wrist had given out from having to hold in the clutch for so long during bike to bike gridlock. At peak, it may take longer than a half hour to get through ten blocks of Sturgis traffic.
