[FastanStrong]

Will be leaving for St Louis in the morning. Will be attending "Friends of Freedies" HSTA rally this weekend. Anyway what there is to see "bike related" in St Louis?? There will be four of us. Any good turners there? Would love to get my bike mapped. Do not have anyone here really that good IMO.

How long you going to be in St. Louis?  I'm going to be in Arkansas that weekend.   It sounds like the HSTA already has a full schedule for you if you aren't spending any extra time up here.  You will be staying south of the city.  If you have the time, roll up into downtown St. Louis.  You can't come that close and not see the Arch.  Laclede's Landing is the historic section of the city and is within walking distance of the Arch.  Great place to get lunch.

Other than endless twisties to ride, there isn't alot of motorcycle specific stuff around here that I know about.  Our bike night is Thursday at the Chuck-A-Burger in St. Charles.

You are staying about an hour south of the St. Louis Downtown.  This time of year, the tourist traffic is pretty low.  I recommend going to the top of the Arch.  The view of the city from 630' is pretty spectacular.

The St. Louis Scence Center is a few miles west of the downtown area on I-64 if you like that stuff.   Admission to the Science Center is free.  There are some pay attractions inside.

I would take 270 to 40. Then take hwy.94 past all the wineries.

I went to college there, lots of fun to have if you look for it. I suggest going to the spaghetti factory in downtown for dinner. Go to the arch and ride the crazy elevator up to the top. It is a nice city to see.
