Really really enjoyed this lads, so much information and extremely well put together (as usual). I could have done with this in 2017 when I did Sturgis. ✌️🇺🇸
My favorite memory as a kid was camping out in the hills and the sweet smell of the Ponderosa Pine trees in the morning when getting up. It was Heaven.
We have Heard Needles is awesome but since we didn't get the opportunity to ride it ourselves, we didn't include it in this video!! Next time we will certainly ride it!!
@@dabeard_ are you doing the world record poker run? I know you helped plan the route with BlacktopDevil. We are gonna go down to Eureka springs fir the meet up. May meet you then.
Did Sturgis in 2015 for the 75th. Hope to get back again someday. Spent a week there and like you said not enough time to do all the amazing rides in the Black Hills. We did Iron Mt Rd and Needles the same day taking in Mt.Rushmore and Crazy Horse. That by far was my favourite and best day of riding.
Yes I agree there is too much to do ina week to where you can not do them all. I would like to do all the ones you all mentioned and talked about. I would love to do it some day. It’s definitely on my mind. Great watching and listening to you all.
Was there in 02,04,06,08, and the last time I was there was in 09 , there's no better riding than the Black Hill's of South Dakota, Spearfish Canyon is my favorite ride out of all of it 👊🏼💯
@@dabeard_ it really is, I about shit my pants when you guys said they charge $25 per bike to ride through the Badlands,in 08 they charged me $12 and I thought that was ridiculous, damn Boyz, it's still a good ride tho 👊🏼💯
Thank you for giving me some ideas for trip to Sturgis this summer. It will be my first time out there. I will be going with my son and his significant other. None of us have made the journey out there yet.
@@austynrivera5916 I've driven the Badlands loop right at a weekday sunrise. It was amazing and didn't see another car. I recently moved from Arkansas to Montana so The hills are only 6ish hours away. Hopefully I can take a few long weekends down there this summer... Once all this snow is gone.
We were at Sturgis in 2005 and would love to go back. Hoping for 2022.Love watching your channel. I am only a few hours form you guys if you ever do a meet up please post it.
If you get a chance Vanocker Canyon Rd is another great ride just like Spearfish canyon with a lot more elevation climbs! Thanks for a great video as usual
I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota, 9 miles away from Jewel Caves National Monument. I will say , Spearfish Canyon, Hwy 385 north from Custer, SD. Needles highway and Iron Mnt. are totally awesome.
You guys nailed it. I've been there twice. We are from south Ga. You covered the rides perfect. We did those rides you mentioned and more. Thanks. I can't wait to go back.
When you fellas make it back out there make sure you hit vanocker canyon road! by far the best road out there if your looking to go a little faster around huge sweeping turns! There are a few stops on the way to grab food and a drink, it will drop you off in rapid city near the Harley dealer. In my opinion it’s better coming back from rapid when your coming down the canyon.
Thanks guys, I enjoyed to information. Heading out for the first time this year. I am looking forward to it. Definitely will put those roads on for the list for my group. Ride safe
I know but the cost of staying there and all it’s a lot to take in. But thank you are right you only live once . So it will give me something to work on . Right now I’m saving for bikeTober fest in Daytona this year
You guys will have to come to Thunder in the Rockies, here in Loveland, Colorado. Smaller rally. But a ton of fun. good mountain riding up to Estes Park, Colorado.
Need to just say Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway, because it includes Iron Mountain road, Needles Highway etc. The only road of your list I haven't riden on is through Badlands National Park. Been on the others numerous times, both during the rally and other times of the year and I'll be headed to the Black Hills in a week.
Just to let everyone know that watched this video. You can get up early for breakfast in the Sturgis area and ride the day and you can be in Cody Wyoming for one of the best museum in the country. Stay the night in Cody. Get up eat breakfast ride bear tooth pass. Plus if you choose you may pay and go into yellow stone. On the way to Cody you go through the Bighorn mountain range. If you take the time to go to Sturgis and you don’t try what I’ve just said you went to Sturgis just to look pretty. Use your bikes. Peace and love
This is Fantastic info. I dont think that means people went to look pretty.. just means they didn't have this Fantastic info. That's why this platform is so Mazing thank you for sharing that Knowledge!! Stay thirsty!!!
Wife and I took our 1st trip to Sturgis in 2019. I had numerous rides planned on the GPS. 1st ride was an "easy" one, only 2.5 hours taking in Mt. Rushmore, Crazyhorse, Custer and oh, look this Iron Mtn. Rd. cuts the corner and takes us back to Keystone. I never zoomed in on the road, and forgot her phone mount. When I saw the switch backs come up on the GPS I said she will be pissed. She was. She posted on Facebook that I tried to kill her. She still wants to go back and ride it again though.
Hell. I was surprised at the switchbacks too. Bit it was awesome. And yes. A passenger can throw you off the line if they are trying to take pics in the opposite direction. 🤣
Stay safe And don't get caught And don't get angry And don't get arrested And put in jail or prison because of course that would not be Good thing for you guys to do And thats The Truth of The matter of fact.
Vincent, Yes! you should be able to get them ahead of time through the tourist board. on the thumbnail to this video is a picture of one of the maps. The maps even grade the roads in difficulty.
(A dream) one day I can come back to the USA, I will want to travel: Cody, Bighorn Lake, Sheridan, Fort Phil Kearny Historic, Buffalo, Devils Toxer, Mt Moriah Cemetery, US 16 Scenic, Mt Rushmore, SD 87 vers Sylvan Lake, Legion Lake, Stockade Lake, Crasy Horse. Take care of yourself
Aladdin general store is open 365 days a year and is the oldest convenient / general store in the country. Population is 15 and the whole town is actually for sale.
Good info, but cant help myself....you said technical road? IMO there is zero technical paved roads on the planet when riding ceuiser of any kind from any make...a baby can ride a cruised. They are by far thee most easy bikes to ride ever made as far as two wheels. Been riding for 35 years, and have had a couple cruisers, a 1500 vulcan and a 900 vulcan classic. Also rode a 1700 Vulcan Vaquero. I have ridden hwy 12, Lolo pass in Idaho to Montana, which follows a river. 100 miles of curves. Cruiser style bikes are massively bottom heavy. I guess maybe if its your first ride on any motorcycle, maybe. Just never heard that term used like that in all my riding. Again, just my opinion. But did like the info you gave. Maybe im just a dumbs ass talking about my experience on all styles of bike from bottom heavy extremely stable easy riding cruisers, to road racing sport bikes to big adv bikes. But Black hills is still on my bucket list to ride. So maybe if i ride there, maybe i would have a real eye opener. Just got a kick out of what you had said, cause i have never heard of it. But all your info is great, not complaining, just never heard it. And when i get over there a ride it, maybe ill understand more about that part. Also good heads up on gravel, that part i complete understand. Came around a corner at about 50mph on a north washington hwy in the early spring and found out they dont clear the sand from the pass road until mid spring....was 6 inch deep sand on pavement. Kept it up right, but hit the sholder to change my shorts.
Idk man. Anyone I've ever discussed riding with has considered a road with a long series of curves with elevation change, banks in the road, tight switchbacks and overall narrow roadways a "Technical" riding road... clearly there would be different levels of difficulty.. Also why would all the Spirt Bike riders be going to these types of roads to test their "Skills" if they aren't technical? I dont do any off road riding so I cant speak on that but I've never heard the term TECHNICAL be Exclusive to offroad. 🤷🏻♂️. Idk. Just my 2 cents. Either way I highly recommend you get out and ride the Blackhills if you haven't already.. it's Beautiful.. Thanks for watching man. We Appreciate your opinions and comments!!
Really really enjoyed this lads, so much information and extremely well put together (as usual). I could have done with this in 2017 when I did Sturgis. ✌️🇺🇸
2017 weather was perfect for riding we stayed in Deadwood almost time to go again
Thanks Brother. We appreciate your support. As always
@@dabeard_ you bet mate ✌️🇺🇸
@@hj1smith yeah it was Harry we stayed at Wild Bills just up the road in Deadwood, great times man.
Thanks brother. Now we need to plan a trip when you can make it across that border
My favorite memory as a kid was camping out in the hills and the sweet smell of the Ponderosa Pine trees in the morning when getting up. It was Heaven.
That's awesome!!
Thanks for the information, I'm going to Sturgis for the first time Aug.2022.
Mike you’re welcome! Check out playlist, how far of a journey is it for you.
That's awesome. You're in for a hell of an Adventure
Needles highway is a great road to ride and get off and walk around a little.
I wish we had the time to hit Needles
We have Heard Needles is awesome but since we didn't get the opportunity to ride it ourselves, we didn't include it in this video!! Next time we will certainly ride it!!
@@dabeard_ are you doing the world record poker run? I know you helped plan the route with BlacktopDevil. We are gonna go down to Eureka springs fir the meet up. May meet you then.
Wish we had the time to ride them all. Thats why we need to go back. Soon i hope
One of our favorites with Spearfish Canyon is the Indian Tacos at Cheyenne Crossing great place to and relax a minute. Thanks for sharing Let's Ride
My wife Had those tacos....
That was some great grub. Still have a box of the flat bread mix.
The Indian Tacos were awesome.
A must ride - Needles Highway 87
We agree, we just ran out of time!
So excited ! Thanks for the videos
Thank you for watching Mike!
You should be. There's nothing like riding the Blackhills!!
I would be excited too. Its amazing out there. Enjoy it to the fullest. Thanks for watching

That's awesome! where are you journeying from?
Needles Highway and the wild life loop in Custer State Park are great too.
Great info. I'm hoping to get down there sometime this summer before the rally...then maybe go back during the rally.
Would definitely try to ride Iron mountain or Needles before the rally if possible.
Oh man. It would be awesome to ride before everyone shows up
@@austynrivera5916 I've driven the Badlands loop right at a weekday sunrise. It was amazing and didn't see another car. I recently moved from Arkansas to Montana so The hills are only 6ish hours away. Hopefully I can take a few long weekends down there this summer... Once all this snow is gone.
Oh man. I bet you are berried in snow. Only thing that holds me back moving to that area. Jealous of being so close. Awesome
Never been. Like the sound of Spearhead, 35 mph. Could do that on my old 90 XL 883. Thanks...
You will love it!!
Heck. You might even slow down more to take in the views better. Thanks for watching
We were at Sturgis in 2005 and would love to go back. Hoping for 2022.Love watching your channel. I am only a few hours form you guys if you ever do a meet up please post it.
Chris that's awesome your so close. Make sure you're following us on Instagram and or Facebook so you know when we put something together .
If you get a chance Vanocker Canyon Rd is another great ride just like Spearfish canyon with a lot more elevation climbs! Thanks for a great video as usual
We will put it on the list BDR
Thanks for the pro tip. I will be sure to put it on the list for Next time!!
Cant wait to try that out. Its on the list. Well its on Dabeard list. Which i follow pretty much every time. 😂🤣. Thanks for the heads up🤘🏻
I hit that road in 19 by random chance great ride.
Made it out there in ‘19. Plan to go back either this year or next. Thanks for the “5” Rides review! Great info. Plenty of places to ride!
Thank you for watching. so Jealous would love to get back out there.
I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota, 9 miles away from Jewel Caves National Monument. I will say , Spearfish Canyon, Hwy 385 north from Custer, SD. Needles highway and Iron Mnt. are totally awesome.
I just added 385 Custer to Deadwood to my list for the rally this year, thanks. The others were already on my list
If you get a chance to hit up iron Mt when the rally is not happening . You c an ride to your ability without traffic! AMAZING
Yeah that’s a great tip! If you’re going to be there during the rally, get these rides in early in the morning.
You guys nailed it. I've been there twice. We are from south Ga. You covered the rides perfect. We did those rides you mentioned and more. Thanks. I can't wait to go back.
Thank you for watching Keith. We cant wait to back either .
Awesome vid guys, im planning now, very useful.
That's awesome. Glad u liked the video. You will have a blast at Sturgis
Don’t count out needles highway either, we didn’t ride it on this trip, but it’s also a great ride.
That Deadwood run looks amazing with those small single lane areas! I'm tryin to hit them all with their own separate video if possible.
Thanks guys! I have two days to spend in the black hills on my way to Cody. Appreciate the insight.
That's awesome David, ride safe. Thank you for watching

We will put that on the list! cause we will be back at some point.
I'm also 1700 miles away, but Sturgis is on my bucket list.
We rode just under 1800 miles each way! Life is short, book the trip.
One day isn't. Day of the week. Plan that trip!!
Thanks guys, I enjoyed to information. Heading out for the first time this year. I am looking forward to it. Definitely will put those roads on for the list for my group. Ride safe
Enjoy yourself out there , be safe.
Great vid gang! Couldn’t agree more...last year was my first trip to Sturgis and I didn’t get half of my list checked-off! 😁
We still have plenty of stuff out there to do. Can't wait to get back
So many roads to ride and things to do and see, you could probably spend a month there.
Did you ride Needles Hwy? By far the most technical ride I’ve ever been on! (but damn fun! 😁)
I dont think a list can be completed. So much to do and ride out there.
Good info guys. Well done. Did the trip out west when I lived in PA. 5800 miles total.
5800 miles, that sounds about right. awesome
Same ballpark we were at coming from NJ
It’s all great information I would like to do all those routes if I get the chance to get up there someday . Thanks be safe. 😎👍
Ya only live once!! 😉
Steve make it happen, even if it's not during the rally.
I know but the cost of staying there and all it’s a lot to take in. But thank you are right you only live once . So it will give me something to work on . Right now I’m saving for bikeTober fest in Daytona this year
You aint kidding. It's not cheap
It was a costly trip. But worth every penny. Hope you can get it squared out for Biketoberfest. Maybe we will see you there.
Needles was my favorite, also spearfish canyon, lead, deadwood, and meade county got to go to full throttle
oh yes the crew did go to full throttle
You guys will have to come to Thunder in the Rockies, here in Loveland, Colorado. Smaller rally. But a ton of fun. good mountain riding up to Estes Park, Colorado.
Of course, with CoRoNa ViRuS, who knows if it will be held this year.
will keep that in mind Garrett, never heard of Thunder in the Rockies. Any excuse to get out west and ride though

Yes you should, the black hills are incredible
The town of Aladdin, WY was for sale a couple yrs ago...
Really ? How much I wonder

Not terrible I guess for a whole town 🤨

Lmao. Thats a great story. We definitely had some passengers that weren't thrilled. 🤣
Hell. I was surprised at the switchbacks too. Bit it was awesome. And yes. A passenger can throw you off the line if they are trying to take pics in the opposite direction. 🤣
Last year I stopped in Aladdin for lunch! I loved the General Store too.
Some awesome looking roads!! A Long ride from the UK though lol!
Flights are Not so Bad. Plenty of places to Rent a Motorcycle from out there!!! 😉
@@dabeard_ hahah yeah when all this shit is over! Definitely added to the list 🤘🤘
Good info brothers !
Thanks homie!!
Trailered from fl to sturgis
Awesome, all that matters is that you get there
The best thing about it is that I can ride it whenever I want.
Stay safe And don't get caught And don't get angry And don't get arrested And put in jail or prison because of course that would not be Good thing for you guys to do And thats The Truth of The matter of fact.
We’ll
Keep that in mind Cullen.
Not getting arrested is always a Goal of Mine. 🤣
Also I would love to see Mount Rushmore.
It's amazing
Try 17 down to Rochford
Where is the second location you mentioned , Hewitt ? Can’t find that
HULETT, WYOMING
You need the National park pass one fee
I don't do rallies, but would like to pass though sometime in the off season ")
That would be a great time to ride this roads , even a week or two before the rally.
Are maps available THERE? It will be my first time in 2022!! Already got my buffalo chip tickets!!
Vincent, Yes! you should be able to get them ahead of time through the tourist board. on the thumbnail to this video is a picture of one of the maps. The maps even grade the roads in difficulty.
Cool, thanks 😎
everybody should visit Wounded Knee, and think about what happened there.
You didn't go through the needles hiway?
No , we simply ran out of time that year, but we have a needles video coming soon !
Is needles hwy & iron mtn hwy the same road??
No two separate roads
(A dream) one day I can come back to the USA, I will want to travel: Cody, Bighorn Lake, Sheridan, Fort Phil Kearny Historic, Buffalo, Devils Toxer, Mt Moriah Cemetery, US 16 Scenic, Mt Rushmore, SD 87 vers Sylvan Lake, Legion Lake, Stockade Lake, Crasy Horse. Take care of yourself
That is quite the list Marco!
