    Leaving this friday on 7K trip

    This friday we all leave for Sturgis. From there we will be riding to Beartooth HWY - Yellowstone - Arches National Park - Zion NP - Grand Canyon to anheuser busch distillery @ St Louis and back home in WV. Close to 7k miles.

    Last year on my way to sturgis I was hit by a truck and F6B was totaled. I'm hoping for a safe trip this year.

    Here's the map of the trip :

    It sounds awesome, except for the Sturgis part! Too many once a year riders!

    Nice trip

    How long will you be on the road? Safe travels and update when you can.

    might i suggest, in murdo, sd, jump on 83s to 44w, then take it to 377, to 240 and ride in through the badlands. we rode that in 2006, and the view was amazing. What a way to go into sturgis, Full tanks if you go, as gas is few and far. when we went, we picked up 18 in clear lake, by that time we were sick of the highway.

    Also cody is amazing.

    Safe travels, be safe.

    It's a 15 day trip. We will be riding our bikes, no trailers. It's my buddy's B'day and he's never been to Sturgis. We will be there only for 3 days and ride to Yellowstone.

    Nice. Good for you. Sounds like a blast. In 2006, the guy that owned the company I worked at and I sent our bikes to Seattle. We flew out, jumped on them, and took off for 12 days without a single hotel reservation. We'd ride as far as we wanted on any given day, more some, less some. Went across the top of the U.S., into Canada for a little bit, and ended up in parking the bikes in one of our warehouses in Knoxville. I went up and rode the bike back a few weeks later. That was a fantastic trip. We didn't cover as many miles as you're looking at.

    Be safe and have a great time.

    Man I'm so envious, so how long will you take to get to Sturgis? Also if you have time you might consider Sedona, Az. It would only be about an hour or two out of your way but after seeing the Grand Canyon maybe not
