We will be making the trip from just outside of Houston to Sturgis, SD the first week of August. I am going to load the bike into the back of the truck and drive. I was wondering if any one else was planning on going and if anyone knew what the price of gas is right now in South Dakota?

 

Thanks

You can go to "www.gasbuddy.com" and it tells you the gas prices in each area. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the link Bowtie! Gas prices in Rapid City are about the same as here in Texas. Good news. I was expecting a lot higher prices.

 

And Vmax, as I bow my head in shame and let out a long sigh, I have to admit your right. :sigh:

a "real" biker would leave the truck at home. :sigh:

You do have a point, Jeff. The local Harley dealership hauls up a big ass trailer full of bikes for the docs and lawyers around here every year to Sturgis. I guess they pay good $$ for it, but jeez, what a bunch of lightweights!

Yeah, well I only talk big. I never drove my bike that far and probably never would. From where I live, yeah, but not cross-country.

Don't let Jeff get to ya, he wouldn't even drive his truck that far :D

I dunno. He might change his mind after viewing this:

Harleys are just like dogs in the fact that they like riding in the back of trucks.

I'll be trailering a couple of bikes but I doubt I'll make it into Sturgis. If you feel like taking a ride, I'll be staying at Wheels West just outside of Custer. Drop by and give my parents some business :D

They call it Sturgis Trailer Week for a reason. :thumbs:

 

I should know, I live 14 miles from Sturgis, on I-90.

 

Do everyone a favor, stop contributing to the corporatization of the once great Sturgis Rally.

 

You can do this one of a few ways.

 

1. Don't shave for a month prior to rally.

2. Ride your damn bike there like you are supposed to, sissy.

3. Make sure you flip off all cops.

4. Your woman's breasts should be exposed at least once daily.

5. Wear jeans and faded leathers that haven't been cleaned in years.

6. Burn your H.O.G. patch.

7. Cook hotdogs over a campfire, instead of supporting all the greedy vendors/Chamber of Commerce.

8. Sneak your own booze in instead of supporting the greedy vendors/Chamber of Commerce.

9. Sleep in a tent on the hillside at the Chip instead of supporting greedy hotel owners.

10. Yell at every person who has a child with them, because Sturgis Bike Week should not, and should never be, considered a "family vacation spot".

11, Say a prayer for my deceased friend, Indian Larry.

 

Bike Week is not what it used to be, and gets further ruined every year by p*ssified yuppies that have no idea what it means to buck trends, be an outlaw, get drunk and get in fights, etc.

 

F*ck Sturgis.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
