I call Sturgis like Mardis Gras for motorcycles. I am told it is not what it used to be. I went once and it was mostly all newer bikes and I was looking for the old iron bikes from the time when I was young. Was told that to ride the old stuff you have to be able to work on them yourself and to ride the new stuff you just have to clear a check. It changed everything.

My Sturgis visit prompted me to buy a couple old iron bikes that I recently sold after they sat in storage for several years and I rarely even looked at them. I don't often make impulse purchases. Just me being silly. It was fun. It was all fun. I liked speed week at Bonneville better.
