Sturgis 2011: Lots to see, lots to do!

Backstreet Chopper Show:

Monday, Aug 8, Full Throttle Saloon.  Free admission.  No registration or entry fee.  For those who seek hand made parts and do-dads of every sort and description.  Must see for those who enjoy Willie's in Daytona.

Many Sturgis events are listed at this link. www.sturgis.com

If you venture into the Buffalo Chip to camp, or drop by for one of the many shows, make sure your stop includes a visit to see Michael Lichter's art, along with some outstanding iron.  http://www.buffalochip.com/

Unhappy Campers

Fed bickering could shut down fed owned campgrounds as soon as Aug 2: 

Some of the surrounding Black Hills parks provide free tent camping for bikers so long as we're no further than 300 feet from the road, and/or 100 feet from any stream or body of water.  Washington DC bickering may well close our national parks if a budget agreement is not reached by August 2nd.  Our advice is to put in place a solid backup plan just in case neither side blinks.  A trend in place, recently seen, involves chasing hard working Americans who've saved all year in order to enjoy a week or two in the wilderness, only to be driven out as our outstanding state and perhaps, now, federal government closes parks and recreation areas.  As we said, have a backup plan in place just in case..

Hoka-Hey Extends Registration Deadline:

Hoka-Hey exec Beth Durham informs ABM that the registration deadline for it's Phoenix to Nova Scotia run has been extended.  This year, partcipants will be tracked via USFleet Tracking GPS.  HH informs us that if you register for the run after July 25, or are having problems installing your tracking device on the bike, no sweat, they'll provide reps from the company at Chester's HD/Phoenix starting point right up to the green flag.  www.hokaheychallenge.com  ABM is planning interviews as the participants lay over in Sturgis, but there are a few hoops to shoot through this year.
