I know this is an older video, was watching the series trying to plan my first trip this year, but I heard you mention that you all like cooking at the campground. A good addition to you camper would be the camp chef big gas grill. Big three burner propane set up that you can get all kinds of attachments for like a grill box, full griddle top even a pizza oven.
Purple Pie Place in Custer. JR's Roadhouse on 90 at Peaceful Pines exit (Black Hawk) north side...awesome Texas Pit BBQ. Bumpin Buffalo in Hill City & Custer. Custer State Park Game Lodge...$$$$, The GasLight Saloon in Rockerville. Del Monico Grill downtown Rapid across from The Firehouse.
We made Rally 74. My MC national Presidents meeting (NPM) was held in Fargo which was timed to head southwest to Rapid City. RAINED every day. I was leading a group of us to Devil Towers in overcast conditions, as I looked down our route I saw a wall of water - pulled to side of road, got rain gear on before first drop hit us. It was my first Sturgis. 2021 our NPM is scheduled for Rapid City. The Chip has invited us on Thursday night, can't wait to enjoy seeing & feeling the energy of that location. We Toured Deadwood, paned for gold, saw 4 dead white men in rock, Indian chief in rock and loved every minute of the experience. Yes we road from Central VA to Fargo and Sturgis. Our last day the sun finally peaked out as we explored the Bad Lands and headed back to VA. 2 up with ole lady, she was a trooper - if memory serves 14 States in 14 days. I stumbled onto ur blog and have enjoyed your stories and I'm taking notes for our 2021 journey. I doubt we will ever bump into one another, but I'd like to buy you a beer 🍺. Glad you and yours are healthy and happy and sorry for long comment. L&R Orbitz.
It was beautiful to hear how intertwined the love for your father is with the Powder House and and the Rally. Those memories are worth more than any amount of money. We have those same memories at the Ironman GNCC every year as a family.
We're going to the 2021 Sturgis Black Hills Classic motorcycle rally again this year. First time we went, we stayed at the "Downtown Sturgis RV Park". Overlooks downtown Sturgis. It's at the big white STURGIS letters up on the hill that everyone recognizes. Best RV park for the Sturgis Rally!. This year were slumming it an staying at "Hog Heaven Campground". When at the Sturgis Rally, eating was not a priority... Ride everyday to a different destination, find a good bar to party in the evening close to your campground. Have a safe, good time. If you stay at the "Party Campgrounds" you will not be able to sleep at night, because of all the noise. And you will not be ready to ride the Black Hills and other areas in the morning. If you want to go to the Sturgis Rally and party all night, and not ride during the day while your there, then stay at the Chip.
We do breakfasts at the veterans club every morning for $10. Side hack also has a breakfast smorg. If you go to a restaurant for breakfast it's gonna cost you $20. Usually lunch at a street vendor. The blue belle lodge in Custer state park is a really good place to eat.
@@neildewitt2869 thanks for the tip. We'll try it next time we get to Sturgis as that's only a few blocks from where we camp. Hopefully the border opens up this year so we can make it down
Sounds like us, Mad Dog. Can't say enough good about the Vets Club in Sturgis. Great breakfast and plenty of it. Street food during the day and night is =?? Gotta try the Lutheran Church someday as I hear that's good too.
@@seththomas9105 if you want awesome home cooked eat for supper with everything cake and ice cream go to America Legion exit 46 Piedmont. It was $12 and the best meal for price in Sturgis area. Breakfast is great too. Check them out I will say you won't be disappointed.
If you don't mind the extra cooking time and the extra stuff to pack. You could braise some steaks then coat them in your favourite fat/oil and grill a nice sear on them. Once you're done with the braising liquid, you could add some corn starch and turn it into a gravy. Bottle of beer (shouldn't be any shortage) and a bunch of your favourite spices would make a great braising liquid.
The breakfast buffet at One Eyed Jacks I think it's $10 now is the best deal I know in Sturgis it includes a great variety including eggs , French toast, hash browns, sausage, orange juice, coffee, and a locally-made bacon there is the best I've ever had, all you can eat! Eat your breakfast there and you're good to go until some munchies later that evening. Peter runs the most organized bar I've ever seen.
A good sit down place is in Rockerville SD, it's between Keystone and Rapid City just off Rt 16, the name is The Gaslight Restaurant and Saloon. I had the prime rib dinner and a couple beers for about $32 dollars. The food was good, menu selection and service was good too. I don't hit the restaurants often because I take my grill with me to save a few bucks but I'm sure I'll go there again
That is a really unique place with good food and cold 🍻! And sometimes if you're sitting out on the deck outside watching the bikes roll by, you may even get flashed a timer or too!
Thank you for the information. Me and my husband, two brothers and a sister in law are going the week after the rally. This will be our first time to sturgis. We are look forward to seeing all the sites and doing all the rides while we are there. Can wait. Again thanks for all the information. Wezzie an Kinky.From South Carolina.
I am new to the channel and have to say I really enjoy the way you present your content. It's like having a cocktail 🍹 and just hanging out with a friend.... Keep doing what you do brother. I live in SC have done Daytona and Myrtle but Sturgis is the grand daddy of events and definitely on the bucket list 📃 that my wife and I are going to check ☑..... Keep safe brother and you have a biker friend from SC that's going to keep watching.... 👍
Thank you! My Dad and Mom - were near Sturgis - in 2001. They had been passed by bikes for hours. They stopped to get a later lunch. Gent rolls in on a Harley. Lotta grey hair - older than my dad by a little, but the three of them got into a conversation. For Dad - it was great to be close and see the bikes. A really nice memory!
Harley Davidson acquired Holiday Rambler in 1986 and owned it until it was acquired, in 1996, by Monaco Coach Corp. Monaco filed Chapter 7 in 2009 and liquidated all assets.
Had dinner and it was great so went back for breakfast...was staying in Keystone...took my two sons first time in 2018...they are in 20s...bought a brick on Main street to remember the trip...
Cemetary is one street south of Main...Sherman go east till it runs into the cemetary...he and Pearl are together on cross street turn right...they are on the left...
Harley owned American Rambler RV for a period of time, that might be why it's in poster? I had scuba friend lived in converted Eebee one room school in Oregon. He had a friend that loved guitars, Michael Sewart, grew up in Southern California. Turned out his childhood friends showed for his birthday at the school house, the Doobie Brothers! There was a piano an pipe organ in open living area, an keg of beer in kitchen an backup on ice in garage! The music an beer flowed all nite in private party to music of the Doobie Brothers! Cool! I see them in your poster! If your interested, I was getting ready to run a Mary S. Young Park in West Linn, Oregon when a new black rig pulled up an guy asked if I wanted a running partner! He looked just like Bruce Springsteen, Na, it can't be, what would Bruce S. be doing here in Oregon? (I found out he married a gal from Lake Oswego) So we ran up an down the running trails along Willamette River! I was from Oregon City with its rock wall hills an could take him on the hills, but he was really fast an took me on the flats! Dang! When we got back to our rigs he asked me if I liked music? Ya, love music! Here, sit down an I'll play you some of my music! Out of his stereo blasting speakers came, "I was Born in the U.S.A, I was Born in the USA! I looked at him an he said, "I really appreciated you today, you treated me like a brother, Not Like a Rock Star"!
@@ProfessionalMonkey bet you would have like private party with Doobie Brothers, but I think Bruce Springsteen could take both of us in the flats! Haha!
The Powder House Buffalo Prime rib is always a must have for us. Alpine Inn is another must do. So cool you mentioned two of our favorite places!! Ever try the Sugar Shack on the way to Mount Rushmore? One of my top 5 hamburgers ever. Right next to the road by the huge rocking chair. We usually hit that one twice. Enjoying the humor. Great job on the videos!
The SOB Bar in St. Onge has awesome prime rib on a couple nights during rally. They usually post when on their FB. Also, burgers and beer at Moonshine Gulch in Rochford is fun.
I really dig your site brother. Question? Just out of curiosity, & I mean no dis-respect. Your packed up with the RV & Bikes. What do you need the golf cart for? Have a great one, man.
Thank you for these videos! Discovered your channel a couple months ago. You MUST try The Loud American steak tips! Louie's, the little diner downtown has GREAT breakfast. Been out there twice - 2018 and 2020. Rode from Ohio.
Indian taco from the plumbing store on main street, cheap and good food that will stick to your ribs. We had nacos at chyene crossing that was good. Last year we were on our way back to the chip from custer state park and it started to rain. We pulled into a pace on 385, it was camp somthing, I want say camp 7. was like a general store campground and they had a small restraunt there , I will be going back there for sure. I had the ribs which were great and my Ol lady had a burger. I think her burger was 1/2 and she really liked it. The prices at that place were not that bad. Had the Gyros at the Chip by the stage. wasnt that good.
Try Uncle Louies on main Street in Sturgis. Their chicken fried chicken is amazing, portions are large and they don't raise prices for rally plus they are open 24/7 during rally.
A friend offered me his yard to pitch my tent in keystone.. If i get to go i be on a budget Free is better... lol... A dream to make Sturgis on my 15 limited...
The memories you shared of the Powder House are the same kind of memories I have of the Gas Light in Rockerville. Went there with the wife the day after we were married. They had a big porch out front. We sat out there and got toasty with some folks from Australia on a June night in the Black Hills. Its burned down and been rebuilt since then, but still have fond memories.
Planning my 1st trip to sturgis this year. It’s been on my bucket list for years. Stopped riding years ago when we started having kids, but I’m back in the saddle and got 8 months to get everything together I need to make the trip AND prep try bike. 2005 Electra glide classic. I’m starting to document the trip on my youtube channel! Check it out! 🍻🍻🍻
Dana Jewett sho nuff. It’s a second full time job but worth it. I’m VP down here in North Cuba, and its the most wonderful, awful thing in my life next to being a daddy.
Thanks so much for your videos and information! Very helpful! This will be our 1st time at the Sturgis rally. I've heard you need park passes to be able to see the popular sites. How much are they and can you get them before arriving? My next question is what camera do you use for filming your rides and taking pictures? I ride my own and was considering a GoPro. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Hi! I did videos on a bunch of Sturgis topics, I think the sites one would be good for you to check out. Here is a link to a playlist with all the videos - ua-cam.com/play/PLdVhVEyl4E4eQU7iRc-6X2YE0ubsl1vAC.html For a camera I use a GoPro 9. I am really happy with it. Have fun at the rally. I'll be at the Chip!
Two outstanding and cheep places to eat in Piedmont area; top one is the American Legion the other is the Slash "J" bar just down the frontage road. Take exit 46 BE SURE TO STOP AT the stop sign. Don't roll through it. Cops watch it well. Don't speed down frontage road or cop will get you. Now head back towards Sturgis on frontage road and about a quarter mile you'll pass the Legion and Slash "J". You won't be disappointed at either place. Remember the Legion is all voluntary and older folks. Give them a break if something happens. They usually will fix whatever it is. You'll also pass a casino and there is a post office right their too if you need to send stuff out. Oh forgot if you want a great experience steak house after stopping exit 46 go up over the highway and on the left is a delicious steak house. A lot of rides go from their. Half to 3/4 mile down Elk Creek Road past the steak house is the camp ground i told you about in last video. Thanks for the input. Also when you get out there next year give me a shout. I will give you a heads up when and where to get cheep/free beer, food, gas etc... I'm the cheap person. I've done the rally for $400 but I stayed at a buddies house that year. To bad he moved!
Another place in Hill City before jumping the train right across the street is a place thats great i think its Roses. Not sure on the name. Ruby's might be the name. I forgot!
I have just started watching Your Tube channel and subscribed. Full of Great information. I would like to know what type of toy hauler do you have? Thank You
How’s it work for concealed firearms being brought in? It says no firearms allowed but I don’t imagine legal ccw holders are just leaving their firearms at home
I don't carry at Sturgis. Only place where I don't... or do I... It really is don't ask don't tell, but those nights where you think you're gonna go hard its better to not also be carrying. You meet the wrong dude in blue at the wrong time... You know how it goes.
@@ProfessionalMonkey sorry I just mean do you get searched upon entering the chip. Iv heard you mention they poke around for liquor etc I wondered if you were searched for a concealed firearm as well. I’d be riding in and tent camping and was curious about that
I actually haven't done Daytona. Daytona's riding kid of sucks, so you're just going to bars and vendors. That's fine of course and a lot of fun, but I prefer Sturgis because you have all of it. Some of the best riding in the country, concerts, campground parties, etc.
mickey corum ha! I actually haven’t. I was going to this year but... you know... the rona. I was planning to stay at Cackleberry. I hope to go this year and I’ll do a video.
Yeap am planning on going but have to wait till it gets closer don’t wanna waste a trip. I’m from Missouri to just the other side lol love the Lou tho keep up the videos like to watch them
I love the alpine inn;
Great video brother thanks for sharing.

I stay at the Chip, but in my rig in the back 40 I just use ear plugs so I sleep just fine, get up and ride all day!
Breakfast at Nemo put on by the volunteer fire department, good food awesome cause.
I'm marking that one down!
we talked about that at our fire meeting tonight. I was asking my buddy who frequents the rally and he swear by the breakfast.
Wiemers restaurant on main was my favourite spot for breakfast but sadly it burned down.
pasta corral going into nemo is a must stop
, great for supper and a sunset ride back to stirgis
Great tip!

Gaslight in Rockerville and the Ruby House in Keystone both have amazing Bourbon Ribeye, a must have every year!
I have to try the gaslight. I’ve never been!

Dana Jewett sho nuff. It’s a second full time job but worth it. I’m VP down here in North Cuba, and its the most wonderful, awful thing in my life next to being a daddy.
@@ProfessionalMonkey awesome man and thank you..
Thanks so much for your videos and information! Very helpful! This will be our 1st time at the Sturgis rally. I've heard you need park passes to be able to see the popular sites. How much are they and can you get them before arriving? My next question is what camera do you use for filming your rides and taking pictures? I ride my own and was considering a GoPro. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Hi! I did videos on a bunch of Sturgis topics, I think the sites one would be good for you to check out. Here is a link to a playlist with all the videos - ua-cam.com/play/PLdVhVEyl4E4eQU7iRc-6X2YE0ubsl1vAC.html
For a camera I use a GoPro 9. I am really happy with it. Have fun at the rally. I'll be at the Chip!
Not taking away from Monkey but Bob and Tams excellent adventures has a video on cameras. Check them.out!
8-5 bday also
Right on. A day for brilliant minds to be hatched!
Two outstanding and cheep places to eat in Piedmont area; top one is the American Legion the other is the Slash "J" bar just down the frontage road. Take exit 46 BE SURE TO STOP AT the stop sign. Don't roll through it. Cops watch it well. Don't speed down frontage road or cop will get you. Now head back towards Sturgis on frontage road and about a quarter mile you'll pass the Legion and Slash "J". You won't be disappointed at either place. Remember the Legion is all voluntary and older folks. Give them a break if something happens. They usually will fix whatever it is. You'll also pass a casino and there is a post office right their too if you need to send stuff out. Oh forgot if you want a great experience steak house after stopping exit 46 go up over the highway and on the left is a delicious steak house. A lot of rides go from their. Half to 3/4 mile down Elk Creek Road past the steak house is the camp ground i told you about in last video.
Thanks for the input. Also when you get out there next year give me a shout. I will give you a heads up when and where to get cheep/free beer, food, gas etc...
I'm the cheap person. I've done the rally for $400 but I stayed at a buddies house that year. To bad he moved!
Neil DeWitt I’m in, bud. We need to grab a beer for sure. Looking forward to it!
Give me a pm i have more to tell you if your interested.
Another place in Hill City before jumping the train right across the street is a place thats great i think its Roses. Not sure on the name. Ruby's might be the name. I forgot!
@@ProfessionalMonkey look me up on Facebook or pm me. We need to talk. CALL me!
If camping, how do you keep belongings secure from theft?
Not mush to worry about. Things are rarely taken. Otherewise I say dont leave anything out in view.
I have the same Sturgis or Bust picture. Hangs in my spare bathroom. Only place my wife would allow in the house..ha!
Ha! My wife’s pretty cool, but still bike stuff is only allowed in my office... that she took when the pandemic hit.
Hey Homie a place where NOT TO EAT!! Taco's John!!!!
Wat up from the 818SFV....
HAHAHAHA!!!!
I do sturgis for 1k but i stay at my dad's retirement home in Spearfish for free
My birthday is the August 11th and anniversary is the 14th.
That's an expensive month!
True. But it’s in Sturgis. That’s makes it great
I have just started watching Your Tube channel and subscribed. Full of Great information. I would like to know what type of toy hauler do you have? Thank You
I have a Heartland Fuel 305. Welcome aboard!!!
Think maybe u should lighten up on the food
How’s it work for concealed firearms being brought in? It says no firearms allowed but I don’t imagine legal ccw holders are just leaving their firearms at home
I don't carry at Sturgis. Only place where I don't... or do I... It really is don't ask don't tell, but those nights where you think you're gonna go hard its better to not also be carrying. You meet the wrong dude in blue at the wrong time... You know how it goes.
@@ProfessionalMonkey sorry I just mean do you get searched upon entering the chip. Iv heard you mention they poke around for liquor etc I wondered if you were searched for a concealed firearm as well. I’d be riding in and tent camping and was curious about that
Lewie's Burger's is pretty good
Where is it?
Lead, sd
@@Justin-bh3dj Gotcha. Thanks!
how do you compare Sturgis from Daytona or Florida Rallies?ty
I actually haven't done Daytona. Daytona's riding kid of sucks, so you're just going to bars and vendors. That's fine of course and a lot of fun, but I prefer Sturgis because you have all of it. Some of the best riding in the country, concerts, campground parties, etc.
@@ProfessionalMonkey good answer! Only my opinion.
What air pressure do u run in ur bike
Where are you from in Missouri? 80's kid here myself from Swampeast MO.
I was born in Saint Louis in the 70s. Swampeast?
*or Southeast. Sikeston I noticed your MO plates in the garage.
@@hdlstns Yup! I miss Saint Louis summers and Cardinal baseball.
