Thanks for all your videos!! They are superb!! Went through Sturgis years ago (1988 or so) with my late Dad but we were driving a pickup from Michigan to Washington State. As we're going along we keep seeing more and more motorcycles and finally realized this was the Sturgis event. Kind of funny. But had no idea until watching your series everything that is going on there. Anyway, keep up the great work and safe travels!!

Bought my Pro Action suspension (rear shocks) at Sturgis. Super happy. They installed on my bike. No money exchanged. Sent me on a test ride. Come back they adjusted and tuned them. Sent me out again. Came back tuned them again. Ended up going out three times for them to fine tune them in. If you like them then you pay up. If not they will reinstall your original shocks and send you on your way for free. Can not get service like that from the internet. Super guys to work with. Wife now has them on her trike too. Awesom video dude. Keep them coming!

Just a thought. You could always install camera in the garage so that if anyone looking for you that can just look on the screen instead of actually coming in. I have security cameras around the outside of my house but I also have one in the garage and that's exactly what my family does when they're looking for me. They don't even open the door anymore they just look on the screen to see if I'm in there.

I know i can enjoy it without ever going to main street Sturgis. House renting? I know club members renting the same houses ever year and they do some repair work just because! One percenters.

Take it to a very reputable builder this time and say "f$%k it" lets do the whole damn thing hahah. Come to find out the guy that did the cam chest in Sturgis must not have checked my crank run out and before installing the upgraded parts and now I need to replace parts I already bought (cam plate, oil pump). Maybe the whole thing is a coincidence and not the guys fault in Sturgis, but I just won't have a guy open my motor in a parking lot. I could be wrong, just my experience!

I just saw a video you did on patches. I happen to be a member of a historical organization who somewhere along the way came up with the idea of the ones who ride motorcycles could join and it came up with a patch. It is a three piece patch by the way. I can honestly say that it's only intention is recognition of the historical organization and the truth of history with facts to back it up. The top rocker says Mechanized Cavalry the lower rocker says the region where you normally ride. We do have officers etc for our area who do report all the way to the top of the organization. ( Which is National by the way. ) We are the Son's of Confederate Veterans. We have to show positive proof of our ancestors that really did serve. We do not have or put on an MC patch. COC at one time was working on recognition but I don't know what the outcome was. It's out of state that was doing the work but I don't know how to get with them. I did like your talking about this as it is normally never talked about. I look forward to your reply. I hope I didn't get to wordy as I I sometimes do. But I hope I did explain it properly.

Why? Sturgis is neutral ground. Ive gone every year since 2010 except ladt year because of lock down in Alaska and Canada would let be go through. Never needed a gun. Never seen anyone that needed one either. That includes the H.A. 's, Bandidos or any of the other 1% clubs that show up. All a weapon is going to do is cause you problems.
