Gear Up for Sturgis!It’s almost that time… time for Sturgis! If your blood starts pumping at the mere mention of the word, we know how you feel. We have compiled a few tips that will help the newcomers and Sturgis veterans alike. If you plan on riding to South Dakota, here is some helpful information and must-have gear recommendations!
What to Pack:
Wear
your leather gear for the ride, and have your rain gear handy in case
you experience rough weather on the way. You won’t have the luxury of
packing for every type of weather, so check the forecast before you
leave to pack the right clothes. Plan on wearing a pair of jeans more
than once, and bring flip flops and other “campground attire.”
Use
a waterproof bag for your toiletries. Most campground showers require
you to bring everything into the stall with you, so a single bag that
can hold everything and hang on a hook will work best.
Choose a
tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping mat that are small enough to be
strapped to your bike. Fleece sleepers may be a good option for your
sleeping bag because they will roll up much tighter than standard ones.
Other
useful items include a knife, sunscreen, lotion, chapstick, a
flashlight, and disposable hand wipes… don’t forget your camera!
