I am going, have reservations for The Buffalo Chip Sturgis week August 2-10. Best biker party ever, just like one great big family re-union. Prices for camping and concerts are $210 for August 4-10 and $247 August 2-10. Concerts every night with “Kid Rock” “Lynuyrd Skynyrd” “Sugarland” “ ZZ Top” just to name a few of the top performers.

I am going by myself, will be riding bike 2003 Harley Heritage Classic and tent camping. Anyone want to meet (hang out) for some of the best motorcycle riding, concerts, and biker partying?

Back just in time for a weeks rest and then a one week August 16-24 motorcycle camping trip of 2000 miles around Lake Superior.

Tinkhamtown, I will be heading out to Sturgis also, Aug. 2nd and coming home on Aug. 7th. It will be my fisrt trip out there with my Ultra classic. I toyed with staying at the Chip but I have to cut back on some expenses so I will be staying at the Bulldog, right off of 90. Where you at maybe we can hook up and ride out together? I did the Lake Superior trip in July of 05. Beautiful trip, lots of scenery. Someday I will redo the Superior trip, but maybe only the southern shores from Duluth up to Sault Ste. Maire.

Hi Kevin

I have been to Sturgis rally several times and recommend riding Spearfish canyon as the best most scenic ride, Devils tower is a 200 mile ride and good photo op, highway 385 into the back side of Mount Rushmore, Full Throttle Saloon a 26 acre biker bar with a view of Bear butte from the parking lot, and One Eye Jacks Saloon in downtown Sturgis are rides and places you should not miss seeing. Sturgis can be a parking lot-zoo in afternoon and evening so I like to get up early and have breakfast at Mc Donald’s in Sturgis and go riding. May be we can meet for breakfast and go for a ride.

I also go for a short ride to the National cemetery and see Sheldon Ray Hawk Eagles grave, a 21-year-old Lakota that died in a helicopter crash during the early part of the war in Iraq.

Just Ride

Tink

Planning on the Devils tower and Spearfish canyon. The one thing I haven't done really yet is sit down and watch some of the hill climbing action, maybe this year. I've hit the rally before and it's still amazing to see. I am taking a newbie with me also this year. He's been riding for 30 plus years but yet has to make Sturgis.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
