[@mbaczuk]

Don't bring the kids. Leave Sturgis as an adult playground to enjoy. Why people feel the need to bring their kids during bike week I'll never understand. IT'S NOT DISNEYLAND.

[@FullThrottleHOG]

I hear ya. I brought my family out the week before but they went back home a couple days before the rally. I agree, leave the Rally for the adults.

[@garyderipaska675]

@@FullThrottleHOG absolutely, leave the kids at home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mattmoran3710]

Keep your opinion to your self really non of your business i wasent really a kid but got my first tat at hog heaven camp ground 93 was 15 loadin bike up tonight an headed to the hills tommrow i hope i see some kids ther thats the future biker not the loser lefty couch turd these soy boys an girls are today

[@sbmcvp4525]

Don't "learn how to ride a motorcycle " at Sturgis. Too many clowns these past number of years, causing havic.

[@FullThrottleHOG]

Great point!

[@randallrydes]

Great video. I'd add this classic rule: Ride your own ride. Do Sturgis YOUR OWN WAY. See you all there.

[@rickydarwin3010]

Don't disrespect motorcycles/riders. Respect the motorcycles and riders. More and more RV's, trucks, and 4-wheel "toys" are taking the roads/camps, and exerting "privilege" causing dangerous situations for riders. It is a motorcycle event.

[@megmartengoyette4360]

I feel that it is important to stress the watching the alcohol consumption. Have a good time. Party. A beer here and there plan your partying. Drinking heavy no riding . Riding no heavy drinking. Da Bus or Jonez bus pass much cheaper than a DUI. Or accident. More liquor =more bad decisions and questionable choices.

[@nemanlol6735]

I grew up 150 miles from Sturgis been going there since the 80s often on. Lived in Rapid City area for three years around 2014. If you truly want to see the Black Hills don’t go during Sturgis the traffic sucks. My Average day going home from work then I live there was usually about an 1 1/2 to 2 Hour Ride home for my 30 minute commute through the Black Hills. We go on the day rides into the Black Hills from time to time every year but I always tried to avoid a week before Sturgis and a week after

[@newazhorizons9945]

Echo the DON'T drink and ride. I've had friends spend the night in Sturgis Jail and then have to retrieve their bike the next day. Also, ride within your capabilities. There are some technical rides throughout the Black Hill's and it's not a place to learn how to ride. With so many riders out riding the Hills, it's easy to hurt yourself and/or others.

[@henryschell6922]

Do not speed in Sturges. Do not speak in camp grounds. Police are everywhere. Do not drive buzzed or drunk. They will stop you and you will spend the night In jail

[@FullThrottleHOG]

Great points here! Thanks.

[@clintaugust]

Smart advice. Especially, don't be an A-Hole!!! Be nice, enjoy the thrill of being there and meeting fantastic people. You can make life long connections if you allow it. I need to work on not being in a rush. It seems like wherever I'm at I constantly plan the next three steps so I miss the moment. Great work as always.

[@FullThrottleHOG]

Thanks brother, I appreciate that. I do the same thing and I have to remind myself to slow it down a bit and take it all in.

[@ronaldblanton8178]

Right On! I'm glad for this video .Heads up Enjoy be safe. And keep the place clean like pickup the trash. This is their home not yours but treat it with Respect. And a Big Thank you from Full Throttle HOG Mr Tom. Salute!!!!!

[@FullThrottleHOG]

Thanks Ronald. I appreciate you watching. 🤙🏻

[@mikegraves9682]

Don't try to keep up with the skinny guy on the 2-stroke

[@FullThrottleHOG]

lol. good point Mike Graves.

[@tomvichlach8038]

Nailed it! The one thing I'd add is treat the bartenders with respect. Some of them are veterans of the rally and some are there for the first time. All depends on which bar your at.

[@FullThrottleHOG]

That is a great point Tom. I'll be pinning this one to the top of the feed. Thanks for watching.

[@Popwarner-x1w]

Don't park your bike so close to another bike

[@stanstenson8168]

As someone that was born and raised in the Hills, thank you for number four.

[@michaeldunker6622]

Don’t sit on ANY motorcycle without an invitation. Common sense please.

[@FullThrottleHOG]

That is always good advice. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrflhx2009]

number 1 don't for Sturgis???? DON'T GO it's a waste of time and money all your gonna get is 12-dollar hamburgers,6-dollar beers and traffic

[@mbaczuk]

Times are changing and unfortunately corporations are taking over Sturgis just like they did Vegas. That's why prices are on the rise. It was better when it was biker run, now all you see "Official Sturgis Merchandise". Pretty soon only the RUB's will be able to afford to go. Enjoy it while you can, but soon the spirit of the Sturgis experience will be gone.

[@quickshoe6]

Seen that Queen sit video. Wow. We went in 2017. One day 90 miles out we seen some black clouds, oh my. We raced back to the cabin. 10 minutes later the hail, rain and lightning. Very bad. Great info, thanks for sharing.

[@JasonPincince-jf4gp]

Of course you don’t pet The wildlife I used to live in South Dakota for about 6 to 8 years and every year my dad will take us to Sturgis good video by the way keep it up

[@hollywood93c87]

Respect given is respect earned!

[@FullThrottleHOG]

Well said. Totally agree.

[@Dynacologist]

Crazy how people cry about getting towed after making the decision of parking in a NO PARKING zone...

[@BlueBeretFirearms]

Don't bitch about Sturgis on social media 😂. It's too expensive, it's too loud, people are idiots, etc.. The rally is what you make it.

[@megmartengoyette4360]

Plus absolutely LOVE Sturgis dosen't care video. I reccomend it to a lot of people

[@ocglide2566]

All good advice, #5 is very important the weather out there is unpredictable. It's also one area of the country where you need all your gear even in August. I have been there three times and I usually go through Yellowstone either on the way out or back to Southern Cal It's been in the 30's in August every time I have been there, so you have to be prepared for all kinds of weather.

[@shasiceruti8994]

Great tips! Thank you.

[@1JUSTGOTLUCKY1]

Thank you for this video...very informative!!

Is it okay to ride in on my Honda Shadow wearing a fake Sons of Slience cut? Asking for a Friend.

[@mikezagorski6327]

Your sturgis doesn’t care video was epic!!! I’ve only been once, but I’m going back this coming year. Thanks

[@TheMNB]

Riding in hail is dangerous. Those little ice balls are terrible traction.

[@FullThrottleHOG]

Great point Mnb_me.

[@psalwasser]

also, when riding, if you want to sight see, stop in a safe place and take a look. stay focused when riding - dont hold up traffic or rear end someone. keep traffic moving safely. control your bike at all times and dont pass anyone on the right - even in our own party. I did see queen sits video when she almost got hit. that guy just lost control on the open road with what appeared to be absolutely no reason to wash his front end out. take a rest and dont let the heat or exhaustion get to you and try to pace yourself. rule number one: no collisions or crashes- arrive in one piece. number two: no citations. three: no breakdowns - make sure your equipment and gear is in tip top shape. four: relax and have fun!

[@FullThrottleHOG]

Good points Paul. Thanks for watching.

[@dalehall2227]

Don’t drink butt lite or Budweiser brands at all.

[@FullThrottleHOG]

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@danielburke4113]

It's a free country. Drink what you like.

[@royarnold1333]

It is a great time, been there 7 times, don't care to go again though. One thing l would say, don't drink and ride. Do the drinking back in the camp ground after the ride. There are some guys that are not sober when they ride.

[@royarnold1333]

Ps. Hold down the noise after 10 please. It makes it a lot nicer to visit around the camp fire.

[@FullThrottleHOG]

Great points Roy. Be safe.

[@terrycrawford7972]

Love ya man. Sorry wont get to see you this trip. Keep doing what you do. So much inspiration!

[@FullThrottleHOG]

Thanks Terry. Maybe we can meet next time. Be safe, 🤙🏻

Out of staters , don’t act like you own the place. When in Rome do as the Romans

[@johntindell956]

Don't drink and ride they have plenty of cops and they will catch you plus where some sort of eye wear they will stop you for not wearing anything

Here's one for any self respecting Human. Rule #6 This goes for Disneyland, Daytona, Walmart, Mardi Gras, Widespread Panic ETC. Stay as far away as possible. You will be all the better for it.

[@AllMightyMuthius]

I figure sports bikes probably aren't accepted there. But I wonder if a bike like the newer Triumph Rocket 3 would be?

[@BlueBeretFirearms]

Nobody cares what you ride ...just go and enjoy it.

[@toodestinations8497]

Nice video.. appreciated 🔥

[@joelhawkins4928]

Seen hail that looks like snow on the roadside . Be careful out there .

Thats a great point Joel. Thanks for sharing.

I am coming for the first time! Can't wait! Like the don't on weather.

[@FullThrottleHOG]

Have a safe trip Mike and hopefully we see you out here.

[@mojomanmurph1925]

For those who say Sturgis isn't what Sturgis used to be. Well, there are rallys held that fit that niche. If you know, you know. If you don't, then oh well.

[@FullThrottleHOG]

Agreed.

[@brandonmacon3317]

Its a cop fest first of all so no go period 🎉

There's 5 don'ts that I don't want to do, and that 6th don't,,,,,,,,,,well, yeah I've done that one so many times lol, another awesome video brother💯👊🏽😎

Thanks brother. As always, I greatly appreciate your support. I hope all is well.

[@Sam-blackwidow7329]

#7 refer back to #4 ....ha.....

[@ardyrides834]

After going to the Rally twice, staying for the whole week and riding through Sturgis, Deadwood, Custer Park, the Black Hills etc. I'd say Rule #1 should be, tell all the Tourist you know, please don't drive your car, truck, camper, or RV anywhere near that area during Rally week. The Bikers don't like it, and the Tourist learn that's not the time to visit.

[@TheWhitneyfam]

Don't ride the roads if you had to use a trailer to get there. You have no business riding out there stay on main street!!!

[@FullThrottleHOG]

Thanks for watching Chad.

[@smokenjoe4022]

Yeah yeah yeah there’s only 1 don’t anymore in Sturgis and that is DON’t FING GO TO THE strugis CIRCUS !!

[@dougcookston5118]

I live in Meade County. Sturgis is the County Seat. Come. Have fun! Respect our laws. If you want to walk around downtown Sturgis with a beer BUY a Sturgis cup. You'll get a nice souvenir and be legal. Children live here. Be aware of that in your conversations and actions. If you wouldn't say something or behave in front of your own children like that then don't do it in front of the kids here. Finally be safe. We want to see you again next year.

[@melissadykstra9083]

Adding to the don't be an asshole rule, that includes on the roads. Motorcyclists do NOT own the roads, and yet are way too inconsiderate to locals and other vacationers about that. We are your hosts, not dog shit that you can treat like trash. Be respectful, especially towards the locals, because a lot of work goes into tourism and making everyone feel welcome, but locals are treated like absolute crap most of the time

[@Ed-gn1ow]

Here's one for ya , the video's been out for a couple of years now but this ones timeless . Don't think your a 1%er if your not ,wearing a lone wolf no club patch will get you nowhere fast

[@adamharding2467]

Don’t assume you can get a hotel, book early. Hotels fill up really quickly.

[@russhartley4964]

I was always fully aware of the weather. Kept my eye on the radar app every afternoon mainly and knew when the thunderboomers were building in from the west. I often told my wife, “honey we got 30 minutes to finish our drinks or shopping whatever and then we need to saddle up and head somewhere where the storms were not”.

[@markgeyer3591]

Excellent Advice!!!!...Great Video,...

[@jamesheath5825]

Leave the trailer at home the only reason a bike should be on a trailer is broken stolen or moving so if you're to soft to ride stay at home i have been riding over 50 years and this year at sturgis i saw some of the most stupid people i have ever seen riding a motorcycle no shirt shorts flip flops and a helmet FJB

[@steventalbott903]

Sturgis is a huge overpriced shopping center, you wouldn't catch me there in a storm. Last time I was there, it was bad. It's ok if you need to be in the middle of a lot of assholes.

[@FullThrottleHOG]

That's interesting Steven. Other than overpriced beer, I've always saved a ton of money on upgrades while in Sturgis. Also, I've never had a problem with "Assholes". Everyone seems to be there for a good time. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience.

[@simonblanco4864]

Are there any biker gangs.

[@FullThrottleHOG]

There are motorcycle clubs at pretty much every motorcycle event. I've not personally had any problems with any motorcycle clubs during rally times.

[@chopperchopper1418]

In the earlier 70s , never bring your old lady. She stays home and takes care of the kids. Yull will easily find a new one. No beepers, no risk.
