Sturgis 2010 August 9th - 15th

Have you made your plans yet?

... do you plan to ride there?

For those that are thinking about it...downtown Sturgis is exactly 1,911 miles from Shovelheads bike shop.

Some interesting math:

If you ride a gezerglide (Road King, Street Glide, Goldwing, Etc) and you don't drink...anything...including water you should average 400-450 miles a day.

[ some of you are thinking," I can do that...no problem at all" ]

65 MPH for 6 hours straight = 390 miles per day
80 MPH for 6 hours straight= 480 miles per day

that is not stopping for gas, cigarettes, naked girls hitch-hiking...etc.

So... assuming you ride 400-450 miles a day... stopping for food, gas, etc... at least 8 hours on the road.

That is a five day trip... you should plan on leaving no later than August 2nd (that's a Monday) if you want to stay the entire bike week.
(If you own a hardtail and intend on riding it to Sturgis plan on leaving mid-July.)

Drop your bike at the shop and we will haul it to Sturgis. You fly to Sturgis in comfort....we will haul your bike. When bike week is over we will haul it back for you and you pick it up at the shop. We will even include a bag of road grime in Sturgis that you can apply to your clothing so you can tell everyone you rode there.

Call us for details but be quick about it as there are only a few spots left!
