But I just stayed at this place and the owner told me it was still available for the Sturgis Rally & Races in August. It just opened. And I gotta say, I was pretty impressed with it. The house is nice, the owner is nice, there is maid service offered and it is right next door to a cafe. And being in downtown Lead, it is right in the heart of the Black Hills. So I thought I would share with you all if you are thinking about heading to SD for the Rally.

  Hey Rex, I already went there. I closest dealer is Stroker's Dallas. I have contacted them, but have not heard back. I was really hoping someone just had a spare laying around though!
  Thanks though!

I replace all my helmets every 4-6 years depending on wear and use. Immediately if they have gone through an impact. Otherwise it's a bit like wearing a candy shell that looks good but cracks easily. Definitely try them on. cinch it all the way down and give your head a shake. They should wiggle just a bit, but that is all. I buy mine at J&P Cycles in Sturgis.

I changed out the seat and handlebars and it is so comfortable on long rides. (my long is only 6-8 hours in a day) I recently got a trike (Freewheeler) due to arm issues, but it is nothing compared to my Fatboy in the comfort department! Rode the Fatboy yesterday and it was like heaven! I miss being able to ride it through the Black Hills, but safety first ya know! Our oldest has a Honda cruiser. Can't think of the model right now, but he kept up with us all the way to TN and back from WY, so it must be comfortable as he is somewhat of a weenie about long rides! :) He purchased on Craigslist for $5000.  less

  I did look at all of these. The fender bra does not fit the FLRT, totally different shape of fender. And the paint guard kit is great for just about every part BUT the front of the rear fenders! LOL!!! It's kinda funny that they missed this very important part! I am getting it though for what it can offer.
  I certainly hope that the surgeries are done! 4 in 13 months and no working for a year and a half is too much!  less

  Since the new bike is black, these would be pretty unobtrusive. However, none fit the Freewheeler yet. Totally different fenders.

  The other option is have Clay ride on the back wearing really baggy chaps - that should shield the rear fenders :-)
  
   
  Haha! We are currently looking at mud flaps. Clay would defo ride on back, but he was not too keen on the really baggy chaps!

This has made riding the old Fatboy a bit difficult at times. So, for my birthday this year, Clay bought me a HD Freewheeler.
  First ride down and the front of my rear fenders have a lot of rock chips! AAAARRRGGHHH!
  Does anyone have a viable solution to this issue? I really don't want to Rhino line the front part of my fenders....

It has a separate garage for the vehicles, so it does not interfere with the living space when the bikes are in. We have squeezed 3 bikes in there, and once a trike and one bike. The model we bought is the absolute shortest in hieght and length of 5th wheel toy haulers with a seperate garage. For that we gave up a lot of exterior storage space. But we camp off road a lot; so this was necessary. But for someone that is gonna stick to organized campgrounds, the height won't matter so much. Our "garage" has two queen size beds that lower from the ceiling like bunks and the couch makes out to a full size bed; so there is room for guests. We don't spend a lot of time on the inside of our camper though, except food prep and sleeping. Same as home! You will enjoy it, look at a lot of them before making a commitment, walk...    less

All kinds of things to do and see. Make sure you try the Huckleberry Beer from Whitefish, Take a trolley up the Going to the Sun Road at least once, so you can see everything you missed on your ride up. There are places all over for you to stay, no matter what your needs are. On your way up, make a stop at West Yellowstone so you can take the Gallatin road up, or even Hwy 93. Both great rides. We just got back from leading a tour through the whole Western part of the state, including Yellowstone, Gallatin, Glacier and into Canada. Great time. Too much to see and do in a mere 10 days!

  I was having lunch with some friends today and the subject of Sturgis came up.  Seems next to riding Route 66 going to Sturgis is the second most popular destination for Harley riders from my corner of Europe.  Anyway, one of the guys wants to go to Sturgis and he was wondering what a ballpark cost would be for a week.
  This would include flying into a city 100-200 miles from Sturgis, renting a Harley (Dyna, Softail or Cruiser) to ride for 8-9 days, gas for riding around, camping, medical insurance for foreigners, food and all basic necessities to live in the campgrounds.  Not included wuld be alcohol, souvenirs and heavy partying.
  I ballparked a number of €5000.  Which would be about $5500US at the exchange rate of the past few months of $1.10+/- to the Euro.  That figures around $2000 for r/t airfare/BS fees and $200/day for a Harley w/insurance included.  They eat up $3800 leaving $1700 for a camping supplies, gas,...    less

  It's always really busy at the first of the week then slows down by Thursday morning. That's when I would suggest you get your riding days in; at the end of the week.
  And really there are no places that you "can't" go!
  We will be there from Tuesday through Saturday at Glencoe!
