Oshkosh/Sturgis

[truk4u]

OK Pog's with Hog's and SOB's, I am thinking real hard about combining the 07 POG Oshkosh with Sturgis. Any takers.....

Oshkosh 7/31 - 8/11
Sturgis 8/6 - 8/12

Oshkosh to Sturgis - 809 miles

TT,

I guess if I bring my Go-Ped Scooter to Sturgis I'll probably be laughed right out of town.

For those of us who don,t know much, please fill us in on what this is all about. I know of Sturgis , but not much , and nothing about Osh.

Gary,

I know nothing about Osh but I go to Sturgis every year.
Sturgis is a small town in SD, most of the year it is a quiet sleepy town. However, during bike week it attracts up to 500,000 visitors (bikers).
It is a mix of normal folks who enjoy motorcycles and a small number of hardcore bikers. I have been staying at Glencoe campground which offers tent camping and a separate area for motorhomes with full hookups. If you Google Glencoe campground you will see that it is expensive but they offer free big name concerts if you are into that sort of thing. Last year there were about 20 or 25 Prevosts at Glencoe but no Poggers from what I could tell.
If you are a motorcyclist Sturgis is a mecca, great roads to ride, fantastic views of the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, the Badlands national park etc.
If you like gambling with a little history thrown in there is Deadwood.
There is also a nonstop party going on the whole time.

If you are not a biker the atmosphere may be a little much!
It's very noisy as you can imagine.
If you are easily offended by what people wear (or sometimes don't) it is not for you.
The whole Black Hills area is very congested with motorcycles.

So there you have it.
I will be there in the bus (1st time I will not have ridden the bike)
Seems like some of your POG bretheren may be also.
Hope to see you.

Gary,
Oshkosh is the grand daddy of them all for aviation enthusiaiasts. You will never see anything like it if your into planes. Here is a link to take a look at:
