I'll get an XL1200R and maybe a V-Rod with mid-mount

airplane would be cool. Maybe land in town and taxi down
main street.

No roids, just old.

Bah. I'd rather die than be seen trailering my motorcycle to a rally.

My one and only time to Sturgis, at the Glencoe campground, there was
some kind of country & western artist(s) entourage camped far across
the way from our tent with a couple big huge shiney custom painted
black and silver "greyhound" style tour buses. I don't know who they
were since I don't do C&W music, and there were no names painted on the
buses but one afternoon a big, very expensive-looking helicopter,
painted in the same exact black and silver color scheme as the tour
buses buzzed the campground and then landed next to where the buses
were parked. The occupants unloaded a minibike from the rear
seating/baggage area of the copter and one of them (presumably the main
artist or lead singer himself) started it up and rode around the buses
while the crowd that had gathered went abolutely nuts. That was in the
early 1990's a couple years before I ever got into aviation, but
looking back, there would've been enough room (with appropriate
planning of course) to have brought in and landed a Helio Courier with
a Harley strapped in the back! Now that would be a grand entrance to
the Sturgis event, and cool enough to be "socially acceptable" unlike
trailering your bike there.
