For starters, hubby and I are not really into activities with big crowds — especially as big as Sturgis. Honestly, the first time we went to Sturgis, we thought we would drive through once and then move on to other parts of South Dakota — because we figured it wasn’t going to be all that enjoyable for us since we aren’t avid partiers. So we had ver...
If you haven’t been to Sturgis Bike Week before and you don’t know if you want to go, you can rest assured that Sturgis is (for the most part) an orderly, well-patrolled eventwith a lot of security officers on hand at all times (see stats below). Each year, the Sturgis Police Department hires officers from the 8 surrounding states just to help duri...
Downtown Sturgis is where most of the Bike Week vendors are. Each off-site location also maintains its own list of Sturgis vendors. For example, here are the Black Hills Harley-Davidson vendors and the Buffalo Chip vendor list. You will probably enter downtown Sturgis on Lazelle Street— it’s the main cruising strip that goes through the middle of t...
The side street that runs parallel to Lazelle Street is Main Street — which serves as motorcycle parking for several blocks. You can park your bike there (for FREE) for as long as you like! If you don’t want to park with thousands of other motorcycles next to you, you can also park on just about any other side street downtown for free. Parking is n...
We’ve always arrived in the middle of Rally Week or the weekend following the Sturgis Rally, and there has always been plenty going on — more than enough to make our Sturgis Motorcycle Rally experience complete. But I’m told there’s even more activity that takes place during the weekend beforethe official Sturgis Rally dates each year. So if you wa...
Friends of ours always register a year in advance to get the best dealon hotel rates in Deadwood, which is 20 minutes from Sturgis — because they enjoy gambling in the downtime. Yes, it’s still expensive to stay there, but they like staying relatively close to all the activity, without camping. Deadwoodis definitely a great place to stay, if you ca...
Since I touched on the fact that it has stormed every time we’ve gone to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally (and times we were in town when the rally wasn’t going on too), I figure it’s worth talking a little more about the weather there. Well… it’s HOT! Every year, it’s been crazy hot — so pack your thinnest and breeziest attire. I’ve found that a thin ...
You definitely want to bring rain gearfor your motorcycling riding around Sturgis. The rain jacket can also double as your windbreaker — because morning and evening temps in Sturgis tend to be chilly. The only other “unique” thing I can think of to pack is a pair of silicone earplugs. I’ve used them for years to keep the cold wind out of my ears — ...
In addition to taking fun pictures of the crowds, group selfies of you & your friends, and all of the attractions you visit, here are some of the more unique photos that I’m glad I took at Sturgis: Did You Know? Rainbow Curveis the deadliest stretch of road in Sturgis. (If you’re taking Highway 14A/Boulder Canyon Road from Deadwood toward Sturgis, ...
