Hello I'm James i'm kinda new to the riding seen even though i owned 3 bikes in total, I love riding seems to give a since of independance and freedom for me but also it's very relaxing. I live in Rapid City SD which happens to be 20 or so mins away from Sturgis. Even though i live so close to Sturgis I've only been there once in my life. I hope to get better at my riding skills before I go back.
