The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally starts this Friday, Aug 6. www.sturgismotorcyclerally.com
Spectacle is a good word for it. I went to the 50th, and to a couple after that. Bunch of really nice guys and gals. One rule for the bike show downtown: Look, don't touch. That's it for the rules. Joan Jett kicked @$$. I wonder what it's like these days. Hope its not a bunch of dentists trailering their bikes to Rapid City and riding them into Sturgis.
A lot of folks take a tent with them with no intention of getting a room. https://rallytickets.com/2021-sturgis-rally/I’m curious to where one stays if you can’t get a hotel room. Pitch a tent??
You could get sort of the experience at Bikes Blues and BBQ in Fayetteville, then head over to Harrison and ride, many of those roads are excellent and too far for the HD types to ride to.Have never had any desire to attend the rally, People dressed like thugs, and loud exhaust noise for a week solid, is not my cup of tea. A 4 day trip to the roads of NW Arkansas in the fall, is my Sturgis.
To me the thug image is not one to aspire to. Dentists could be classified as thugs, they constantly rip off people who can least afford it.Haha. Half the guys dressed like thugs are actually dentists and accountants blowing off steam. Still, watch your manners.
