I agree that things were cheaper in Deadwood, Keystone, Custer, etc. The town of Sturgis has gotten out of hand price wise. I don't mind camping and that is still pretty reasonable out there. Probably bringing the wives next time (2013) so will be looking for hotel rooms or a house. Planning on the week before the actual rally at this point. I really would like to stay in Deadwood. That is my favorite town out there. So much history and plenty to do at night without the huge crowds. I have never seen FTS as crowded as it was Tuesday night for Nugent. The line for the bathrooms had to be 300 people long. I am not exaggerating. Two of us finally left because we didn't want to wait that long. Did either of you guys go to the new Easyriders bar? That was fun. They had a Johnny Cash cover band one night that was awesome. Could have stayed there all night but I was beat after riding all week and we were leaving on Friday morning. Checked out Coyote Ugly in Deadwood. Wasn't impressed with that place. The Knuckle still rocked. Broken Spoke was so so. We really didn't party that much. I guess we are getting responsible, lol.
Easyriders is my new spot for people watching 5min from camp I go down there and have cpl beers and stand on the balcony looking over lazaell st....
I have to say Thur night for jackal was insane, same deal lines for bathroom where all the way thru to the inside bar!!! the place was packed ust be the tv show bringin in the biz....10bucks to get in the FTS!!! I used to go out there every night and people watch..not anymore....found a new spot that's still free to get in......still a blast!!!
Thanks Wayne for stopping by and picking us up for the limo ride.....lol we could got 40 of us in there right?lol
had a blast fri rode with Carter all day!!!we did needles,keystone,Mt coolidge{sp},Rushmore and van Knocker 2 times......we came across a acident on needles we where the 10 or so bikes behind a head on!!!not first on scene but first to help....Carter took control of the victims and the rest of us got traffic moving again!!!was a head on two bikes involved one guy had broken leg and one had broken back!!!!!took medical good 15 to 20min to get there.....I always thought bikers where some great people....well seems there a bunch who are not!!!!1alot mad people and alot guys who can not control there bikes I had to push a few bikes over to stop the from hitting the guy with broken back!!!!was sad to see that side of some...........

Easyrider on ther unfinished 3rd floor balcony I stayed for a couple hours up there. watching the bike wash going on down below. I did not have a clue Carter was staying next to Slash J's until Saturday morning. Did you see the Limo we had? it was stationed in Piedmont. Managed to find some pics I could post.
This pic is going on my Harley Visa card. ( certain level HD Visa cards can put a pic of their own on their card). The Visa company does this to make a more personalized card for it's so called spenders. Nothing beats Chrome Cash. http://www.h-dvisa.com/credit/welcom...raffic&lang=en

Yea I think I am done with FTS also. Used to be the place we went just about every night. I am glad they are finding success but it is to crowded and expensive for me now. We watched the film crew follow Ballard around. Let me tell you that there is nothing real about reality TV. It is all staged and probably scripted. Can't knock the guys for cashing in though. I will miss the Flaunt girls, lol. Easyriders is my new favorite hang out in Sturgis.

Me and Angi spent the day in sturgis on thursday, drove around, went to Mt Rushmore, did a zip line etc. It was our first time out there, as we were just rolling thru on our way to Bonneville salt flats. We went thru two little downpours while we were there, the second one had hail and all the bikers parked and ran for cover!!!! I guess a helmet is good for something huh guys. For me downtown is too commercialized deadwood is cool and the roads look like they will be alot of fun without all the traffic. We will go back on the bikes sometime, just not during the rally.
