I tow a Ural sidecar bike in a worthington
box trailer. The mrs refuses to ride on the back of my victory.

Really appreciate the info and we will avoid "Critter Time". We will do our night partying in Custer ... We like the Brewery and have done allot of nite life during previous rallies in Sturgis. We love the riding and the vendors ...Not much choice now so we will make the best of it! Thanks!

I actually was going to reserve a spot there when my group started planning back in 2013.. the only problem with Custer's was location... its about 70 miles from Sturgis, and while we are not party animals, we still wanted to experience the night life "Sturgis" had to offer.. and it was brought to my attention that I wouldn't want to be doing much "night" riding due to the wildlife in the area..

So, if you're heading home at night PLEASE be careful as you may encounter a Bison in the middle of the road..

It's a 2006 Ural Tourist! We're heading for Virginia this year, from California, but we're leaving the bike home and taking the smart car this time!

I suppose if I fly the chair high enough I can get my left knee down - don't think my monkey would like it though!

Another Uralist! We got ours after my wife had a knee replacement and found it difficult to climb onto my Suzuki C50T. She LOVES the sidecar!

We much prefer trailering these than the car. Thinking about taking a few weeks this year and towing these behind the RV and touring a few national parks by bike.

Bentleys is a cool place. Never stayed there but stopped in for a couple cold ones while visiting relatives. Enjoy!

we also have reservations at custer gulch for sturgis. Have 3 other rv couples going. I have a 15 indian road master that sits on a cruiser lift ; last year it was a goldwing.

We're doing the Gulf coast in mid April from the Atlanta area to Marathon and back up the East coast through Savannah GA home towing the Heritage and will take a little over 4 weeks. Don't do bike events since been there done that and I hate crowds. Went to Sturgis a few years ago but missed the event by over a month.

I see you have a helmet on........do you actually ride "on" the bike while towing it?

You should be happy with Custer's Gulch... It's a nice place..

Heck of a drive you have.. just mapquest'd it... from Brooksville, FL to the campground is nearly 2000 miles...

Have fun while there.. and remember to watch out for the wildlife if you're driving around at night !!

I don't know if he does that... but I REALLY like how his bike matches his RV...

We will look for you!! We have two sites reserved and plan to arrive the week before and stay through the rally.
