Full Throttle Saloon Rents Cabins

I just discovered that my favorite bar in Sturgis South Dakota now offers cabin rentals. The Full Throttle Saloon created many air conditioned cabins on their asphult lot which would make like easier on many Sturgis campers. Unfortunately Full Throttle Saloon site does not disclose the price of these fine cabins. Each sleeps up to four in two beds with a window air conditioner. Sounds sweet, i'm trying to find the price. Need more Full Throttle Saloon Pictures?

Booked Glencoe Campground Today

I booked my reservation at Glencoe Campground today. I was surprised to see that it's now $300.00 vs the $150 or less I paid in previous years. True there are now headlining musical acts at Glencoe Campground this year so we'll see if it's still the great campground / Riot it was in the pass or just a pain in the ass like Buffalo Chip. I had a laugh at the "Catering" service where you can pay $300 more per person for your site and they will set up the tent and sleeping bags for you. How lazy can some people be? I'll bet Glencoe Campground makes a mint off this service.

Sturgis 2007 Travel Dates

I think i've nailed down our potential travel dates for Sturgis 2007. Usually I travel solo and go in and out in one day. 640 miles each way. Because I've got some friends with this year I think we'll go out one day on August 6, 2007 stay at Glencoe Campground and then on Wednesday August 9, 2007 we'll hang out until the afternoon and bail riding to Chamberlain South Dakota where we've got a room at the Super 8. There is a great bar nearby and the pool at the Super 8 is nice after a day of Sturgis and riding. We'll then do the rest of the 430 miles to home the next day.

Sturgis 2007 Here I Come!

I was supposed to go to Germany on a business trip but due to cost cutting I now no longer need to be there. That lets me take another turn at Sturgis South Dakota, hitting Sturgis 2007. Ahh the wind on Highway 90, the heat or Cold of Sturgis 2004, who knows what to expect. I was completely suprised to see that Glencoe Campground expanded and now has top name bands each night ala Buffalo Chip. Unfortunately this now makes me scared the crowds and conditions will become like the Buffalo Chip but we'll see. I have two buddies to go with this time so no matter what it should be kick ass. Here's my favorite shot of Sturgis 2002. See you at the Full Throttle Saloon at Sturgis 2007.
