I can assure you the only swinging i do is swinging an axe at firewood.

Yes there is some really cool roads for street bikes. I was just down there last fall on my Ducati 950 SP Hypermotard last fall and had a lot of fun tearing up Iron Mountain Road and Needles Hwy, Nemo Rd, Spearfish canyon road, and others. Other ideas are to ride around the Badlands national park or day trip out to see Devils Tower. I should have some suggested dirt & gravel routes and road route suggestions out by July 1st. You come from my idea riders paradise so you're likely be a little jaded but you should find enough to keep you busy for a few days riding.I will be attending the rally from South Carolina. I will be towing a small Casita Travel Trailer and have a bike in the back of the Toyota Tundra. I have a Tenere and a Kawasaki Z900RS. The Z900RS is lighter and easier to load so I am thinkin about taking the Z900RS instead of the Tenere. Will I be shunned by the cool kids if I am on the Z900RS. Will there be rides good for a street only bike?
There are definitely plenty of very interesting paved roads in the area !
I live near the South Carolina Coast but it is only about 300 miles to good NC, TN, GA, and WV mountain roads. I have yet to exhaust all of the "good" roads. After the rally in Custer I plan to spend at least 2-4 more weeks around WY and CO. I figure I can get good ride suggestions for areas to ride that weekend. I would rather take the Tenere but the Z900RS is easier to tote across the country in the back of the Tundra.Yes there is some really cool roads for street bikes.

Glad to see you'll make the Tenere rally Mark.New to this group but not that area of the hills. Found some great riding west of Custer last fall.
Called Crazy Horse this morning and reserved a spot for the toyhauler.
Will bring the S10 and maybe the T7.
Looking forward to meeting and riding with this group.
Be warned Wacked is dangerous to ride with.....
Mark - you've mislabeled me as "dangerous" ever since Eric wiped out and his leg went flying 15' thru the air . I know this traumatized some of the group, but in full disclosure Eric flicked his prosthetic leg up for dramatic effect......Glad to see you'll make the Tenere rally Mark.
If you head to Black Hills National Forest there are enough dirt roads from mild to wild that will keep you entertained the whole time there. When I passed through on my Ninja I was bummed not being able to ride them.Im not familiar with this area for "trails / dirt roads / off road", is there a fare bit of this terrain around?
Looking forward to seeing everyone !
Thank you - I will be heading toward the “off-road” !If you head to Black Hills National Forest there are enough dirt roads from mild to wild that will keep you entertained the whole time there. When I passed through on my Ninja I was bummed not being able to ride them.
Ya, I think a guy could spend a couple weeks checking out all the trails in the Black Hills Trail system and then when you throw in all the gravel roads and a fair amount of twisty asphalt on top of it, I think you could spend a month there and not get board. It's not Colorado or Moab for extreme off road riding but its a fun place to ride and there should be plenty to challenge someone's ability on a big bike.Im not familiar with this area for "trails / dirt roads / off road", is there a fare bit of this terrain around?

Are you going to the races in Daytona? I'm headed out next week for the Flat Track race and the 200. I miss the old days when the Daytona 200 was a premier Superbike race.I'll be away from home till St. Patrick's day riding my FJR through LA, AL, GA, MS, SC and FL
Yeah. I raced it in '87, and it was still international then.Are you going to the races in Daytona? I'm headed out next week for the Flat Track race and the 200. I miss the old days when the Daytona 200 was a premier Superbike race.
