Riding 440 Miles to Sturgis: Day 1 into the Black Hills

Day 1 of our 7-day ride to the 86th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally! We pack up the 2025 Harley-Davidson Road Glide (FLTRX), load up two-up, and hit the open highway from Salt Lake City, Utah, pushing east across Wyoming into Walden, Colorado. Riding two-up on a touring rig means balancing luggage, dialing in long-distance comfort, and racking up big highway miles. In this episode, we kick off the ultimate motorcycle road trip to South Dakota, breaking down our route, long-haul packing setup, and what it’s like covering distance on the new Road Glide platform before reaching the Black Hills.
