Have been to Sturgis twice and going again this year. First two times I was on a Honda Shadow ACE 750. I had a great time. No one cares what you ride, the importance there is that you are a real rider, not a weekend warrior. I will be going on my Yamaha 1100 this year. While I did not feel the need for the bigger bike, my husband rides a Road King and got tired of leaving me behind at 9,000 feet (due to carburetion). We love it. We camp downtown Sturgis in a family campground and have a wonderful time. Most of Sturgis takes place outside of town, the riding in the area is incredibly beautiful. A lot of the towns around also have their own activities. You have to be careful, people go who don't ride in the mountains, they drink, and then they take themselves out but it is a blast. I recommend it. You can buy things from vendors for all makes of bikes.
I got a pair of gloves (ordered), too, but they are the "cheapies" that are battery powered. They were on eBay and too cheap not to try, so I threw in a low bid - and got them. Haven't tried them yet, but will when they get here. Supposed to be good for 5-6 hours of riding on a charged battery - we'll see. I already have the electrical hookups for the plug-in style like yours, and will probably end up getting them anyway.
My kids got me a set of heated gloves for Christmas. They are the plug in type. Bad thing is for some reasont they didn't get Jay a pair too. Ther eis no way I'm gonna ride with warm hands and leave him in the cold. My goal this week t o find him a pair that fits. he has super large hands. There is a bike swap meet in St. Louis this weekend and J&P are gonna be there. Hope to fins them. We actually got to ride on Christmas morning. Put about 20 miles on. just enough for me to roll the V-start over to 25,000. yeh, 25 on the 25th.!
We have also decide to make the trip to Sturgis this year. We are gonna take 10 days off and seeand do it all.
Just finished Christmas (on the 27th) and had a great time with family at our house. The "boys", Chad and Bobby (37 and 29) and I spent part of the evening in the garage planning another trip to Deal's Gap area, and of course a return to the Tail of the Dragon is a (small) part of the plan. We are hoping to go in late April or perhaps even May, depending on weather, room availability, and our own schedules. Bobby hasn't been there yet, but Chad went with me last year so we're "breaking in" the youngest member of the Apple Dumpling Gang ~ to that area.
I bid on and won a pair of electrically heated gloves on eBay, and am anxious to see if they work for my purposes. They aren't the plug-into-the-bike's-system type, but the rechargeable battery type. In November I rode 140 miles one-way to help honor a KIA coming into Rockford airport, and the temp was +27F most of the way up, colder on the way home. So I'm looking for something that doesn't involve tapping into the bikes' battery, but will help me avoid frostbite for a 3-6 hour ride. Don't know if these are the answer, but they are the cheapest solution I've found so far, at $40 ... I'll probably end up spending the money for a full vest-glove system that operates off the Star's battery, but wanted to see if I could get the task accomplished "on the cheap", so to speak.
