Hundreds of guys passed me and my brother in law- saying "damn-i wish i thought of that" as we sat in our portable "coleman/eddie bauer" folding chairs on the curb of main street during the hot late afternoons. sunscreen,water,good attitude.

Good advice... He forgot to mention "sunscreen" you'll need it. I also like to carry some brand of "moist wipes" (baby wipes) for your hands, and face. There's not much worst than riding with an itchy ass. When I went to the Sturgis Rally back in 2013 the weather was perfect for the whole week. I didn't need a jacket at all. It wasn't cold at night or the morning. I did need a rain suit (didn't have one) we got wet on one afternoon ride. I did not carry water, all through the Black Hills there are vendors set up to serve riders. We're going again this year. Staying at Hog Heaven Campground.
"Iron American Dream" on CZcams A Harley-Davidson song. Horseshoe oil tank, Tombstone tail light, can of raviolis in the saddlebags, a Slicker for the rain, a canteen full of water, And something for the pain.
A pocket knife, black electrical tape and small vice grips really helps if you are driving a Harley! Was there in 2009 and these items often got me home! My bike vibrated a lot and I'd loose something, like my shiifter! 😂
Thanks for sharing. I learned the hard way. Carry lots of water with you. Some other idiot might not of brought any. Look out for the hail/rain storms!
For older bikes that have a stereo line-in and cigaret lighter/power port, don't have the MP3/Phone constantly connected to power. The charging system may not handle it. Unplug for a couple hours!
@@jpcycles well. Those decisions are made above our pay grade. But we’re all glad that’s the plan. So many of us here in Sturgis customers for ya. Especially the few one show techs need J&P. Look foward to seeing it open. Ride by daily. Awesome place !
One correction on his backpack or roll bag or whatever Make sure it's a dry bag One year maybe 100° and not rain the whole 10 days the next year it's going to rain every single day so even a simple backpack make sure it's a dry bag. Mine is also a hydro bag so I have a water bag on my back at all times The 100° heat drink water not alcohol
Wow you touched bases on things I didn't even think about like the charging system and Rok Straps I'm ordering some right away and i appreciate your guy's content we will see you there this year for our first Sturgis Rally 👊
He failed to mention the need for more ego ad vanity then brains or riding skill so I'm disappointed. Shout out to all the "Harley Lifestyle" types who trailer their rides to Sturgis. That's the spirit!
Condoms,lube,air compressor, herpes meds, morning after pill and some tshirts w the sleeves cut off and one of those big wallets w a chain.. and a headband..
My advice is buy a decent bike , not an outdated v twin. Second, go somewhere, where there is something going on, besides a parade of fools! Maybe if you do some research, you can find a pro motorcycle race like the old days of Laconia or Reading !
@@FFL-vg9ro What in hell is your remark supposed to mean? You think i am wrong because, i believe it's wrong for people who are not pro actors, to parade and put on a show? I was taught as a child , that being a showoff was wrong!

I carry actually two of the little bitty lawn chairs that fold down into a bag if it right in my saddle bag one for me and my son

good advice!
Cash....lots of cash, even when you pre pay for everything...you still need cash
I had water but I didn't have time to drink it cause we were going so fast! Wooooo!

"Iron American Dream" on CZcams
A Harley-Davidson song. Horseshoe oil tank, Tombstone tail light, can of raviolis in the saddlebags, a Slicker for the rain, a canteen full of water,
And something for the pain.
Rok straps are spot-on. Last year in Sturgis I bought a stuffed buffalo on impulse.

Definitely don't forget your leather jacket. I consider a rain suit for yuppies though
Also, an extra pair of boots. Once you get one pair wet you will have hell getting them dry!!
Great video guys. Sharing it with our guests for sure!
Thanks! You guys rule!
Nice. Can't wait to go 👍🏼
Good stuff Patrick, you forgot to mention the asspad...😂

Sunscreen and a hat for those afternoon walks around all the vendors

Great thoughts!
J&P Cycles is always a stop for us. New LED headlight on the list. The list is long.
Earplugs!
Love the shirt, man. ;)
Solid advice. 👊
Hi. What about sunglasses. Do I need sunglasses or goggles while riding with or without a helmet.
You need an EZ-Up for shade, and a good hangover cure.
What we need is for J&P to open the Sturgis store. And stay open yr around. Again. Rumors in town here at Sturgis that might happen
The rumors are true! The Sturgis store will stay open year round again.
@@jpcycles well see
@@donpet8258 I'm on site in Sturgis (I live and work here) ...trust me when I say its opening year round.
