Sturgis, South Dakota - August Description: Hard to imagine that Sturgis Motorcycle Rally began with a small race 68 years ago, but from our humble beginnings we offer you one of the world’s premier motorcycle events. You’ll experience a ride of a lifetime in a place where local people can still show you a thing or two about hospitality and visiting exhibitors can show you anything and everything you’d want or need to customize your bike. Or heck, buy a new one while you are here! Harley introduces their new models each year during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and you can demo virtually every kind of bike on the market - custom, V-Twin or metric. It’s like being a kid again, in a candy store. Only better! Because in addition to the bikes there are concerts and races and bike shows, five blocks of Main Street bikes-only street vibe, the 6th Annual Mayor’s Ride, Michael Lichter’s annual exhibit, AMD’s World Championship of Custom Bikes, free style stunters, the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame, Vinnie and Cody, some pretty impressive watering holes, custom legends, blue skies and warm, sunny days. And it’s all waiting for you in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota!
