I was riding my ST1100 through Wyoming on the way to Kansas two years ago, just a few days before the Sturgis weekend. Got pulled over for speeding (87 in a 70) and fined $200 by a state trooper.
Was talking to him afterwards, over a coffee (we had to go into town so I could get the money out of an ATM, I had out of country plates on the bike) and he asked why I was going to Sturgis. I told him I was going to Kansas and wanted to keep as far away from Sturgis as I possibly could. He was very surprised, and apologized profusely for giving me the ticket - told me he never would have done that except that he figured I was one of those "Sturgis troublemakers".
For what it's worth.
