we really don%26#39;t know where we are going in north dakota just sight seeing the bad lands i guess. i%26#39;m jut going aong for the ride and the sights. we are planning on late august. our friend has a harley and it has really long handlebars caled apehangers and he wants to know if he will get fined for them. and we never traveled that far on the bikes before and where to camp out what to bring and the best way to get there and not on the highways we would like scenic routes. any info would be great. thanks




Guess route will depend on where you are in Wisconsin. The most direct route is on I-94 if you%26#39;re by the Twin Cities. That would take you through Fargo, Jamestown, Bismarck and Dickinson before you get to Medora, which is a great base for exploring the badlands. http://www.medorand.com/ They have a lot of info on that site. I don%26#39;t camp but we stayed at the Buffalo Gap Ranch and there was a campground on the way out there. Definately look up Teddy Roosevelt Park to see the routes and hiking loops they have. We enjoyed the musical there and the pitchfork fondue as well. It usually just takes a day to get to Wisconsin from Bismarck so you could drive it in a day. If you%26#39;d like a route that isn%26#39;t interstate, there is also Highway 2 that is a more Northern route and come down the Enchanted Highway (iron sculptures) to I-94 for a short bit to medora. Good luck!




Many town in North Dakota have a city park where tent camping is allowed. Usually inexpensive, some free even. Occasionally you will find a motel with camping too, like one in Rugby. Have a great trip.




The North Dakota Tourism office has a motorcycle map available that will offer great scenic ideas for the whole state. We also have a map of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, which you can also pick up in Medora or at the Painted Canyon Visitor Center at the park. If you need a list of all of the campgrounds in each city, you can find them on our website: www.ndtourism.com or request a visitors guide and state highway map to be mailed to you as well by clicking on ';FREE BROCHURES'; on our homepage. If you have questions you can e-mail tourism@nd.gov. Enjoy your trip!




Apes are illegal in ND. Your hands can%26#39;t be above your shoulders. Medora (Teddy R NP) is a slow scenic ride. Camping in the park. Go N of Dickinson on ND22 to Manderee then west to Watford City for the Highway riding. Only other part of ND is up by St. Johns going to Lake Metigoshe. That%26#39;s the Turtle Mtns. Otherwise not very scenic. You doing Sturgis and want to go thru ND? Just stay on the interstate to Medora. Then double back to US85 down to the Hills. Tell your friend to get a bagger, then he won%26#39;t get beaten up.
