By the time we got to the USA/Canada border we were riding with several other groups of bikes. As we got closer to sturgis the more bike joined us. By the time we hit I-90 we were riding with 50 or 60 bikes. Wen we got to Sturgis there were hundreds of thousands of bikers They were everywhere and the hills echoed with the thunder of all of the exhausts. No one cared what you were riding, everyone was friendly, and there was so much to see.
Every once in a while there was someting so unique you just had to stop and take a closer look. The bike above was built using a Honda CBX inline 6 cyliner engine. With 6 straight pipes it sounded like a Porche on steroids. If you have never been plan a trip there is nothing like it. We stayed at Deadwood KOA and it was clean and quiet. We were the last ones back to the campground at 10:30 at night. If you love bikes and enjoy just watching people this is the place for you.
