My only experience was driving my Dodge Daytona thru there in the mid 80's. Had NO idea what I was seeing. Maybe two or four years later someone explained what was going on there. I was still a big bike rider then (old Kawai cop bikes) but didn't seem like an event I would go to. I like big bike rides up Mt. Tam or to Alice's. Lots of brands, all about the love of riding. Not interested in the Harley fanboi experience.

Can we at least have a gang name and cool jackets? Los Teslitos? Tesla's Angels? Banditos Teslitos? Tesla's Mongols? Satan's Teslas?

Any thoughts for gang initiations? You know, to prove you're tough, that you have that certain je ne sais Tesla quoi. Pardon my French. For example, say charging your car to 100% and letting it sit for 2 hours. Perhaps other daring Teslitic feats? Ideas?

Initiations? Hmmm. Have to have driven ten miles AFTER 0% charge? Have to have at least 100 superchargers under your belt? Completely have discharged your battery and had to be towed? Driven with at least two children in the frunk? Toted a dead body? Had your Tesla stolen? Dunno..... Mac

Happy SOS day! I am bummed we aren’t together but I hope to honor the day with a 1/10th drive today. I am 1,263 miles from Custer so that means 126.3 mile drive today, I will do my best, family can veto.
Some of you are actually headed to Custer, pics and stories appreciated.
Enjoy cleaner living and stay safe

Drove through Black Hills in my X a couple years ago. The panorama windshield made the back road cruising even more spectacular.

Custer:
Visited and charged today.
One actual space to charge.
Could possibly squeeze a second car, but that would be it.
Area in front of charge stations is paved.
Rest of parking lot, muddy and wet goop.
A board (portion of form work for concrete curbs) is in the way for second charge station.
All others are blocked by construction trailer and port-o-let.
IF you are in need of a charge, go.
IF you can work around to Rapid City or other charging options, might be better.
At least five or six weeks until this location looks a lot better for general supercharging usage.

Sturgis is on and expecting 250k attendees. This is a glaring contrast to our SOS event that was smartly and responsibly canceled.

OMG. Mark your calendar for two weeks after the event for a surge in news about attendees coming down with COVID.

I recall reading that many sturgis riders drive their hog there on a trailer then just tool around the area. I guess it’s safer?
