I grew up in Broadus Montana so we visited the Black Hills every summer (not the rally). Went back in the late 70's and it was more built up - I was disappointed. I fear it's worse now. From the pictures I've seen (from fellow riders and the Internet) and from the traffic I've seen along I90 that time of year; not my kinda thing.
I have wanted to ride Needles Highway though, and I'd like to see Mt. Rushmore again. But all my fond memories are from the early 60's. I fear you can't go home again.
At one point I considered "doing it just once", I suspect what I could tolerate was back in the early 70's. Even the Datil Rally for Moto Guzzi guys is getting a bit big for me and that is only 50-60 guys!
