Of all the people I'd expect to cover Sturgis, this ain't one of them. Overall, this whole naked streetbike thing just does nothing for me. A naked streetbike is a bike with the engine exposed. The latest trend seems to be half-fairing a bike, meaning the there is a fairing around the headlight and a bit further down. I'm pondering getting a new bike, or just doing so modifications to the one I own now. A full fairing maybe, new exhaust so that everything is on one side, and maybe a carb jet kit, to tune the carb for more performance.

Next year I plan to take an Experienced Rider Course (ERC) and attend at least one track day. My only concern is that once I get on the track, street riding will seem boring in comparison.
