Sturgis has been the place for one of North America’s largest annual Motorcycle rally’s happening every year since 1938. This small town in the northern Black Hills of South Dakota hosts this rally every August. This year’s event is scheduled from August 9-15, 2010. It is the 70th Anniversary of the rally.
The traffic coming and going around South Dakota ramps up to two weeks before the Rally starts and it continues to be crazy for two weeks after the event.
When this Rally started back in 1938 it started out as a get together on the weekend with a couple of dozen bikers holding a couple events that included half mile races, jumps and things like that. The Sturgis Rally has grown incredibly since then. It was first organized by the Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle club but now the Rally takes the efforts of everyone in Sturgis (approximate population 6,000) as well as hundreds of vendors coming to town to help supply products and services to the guests of the Rally.
They still hold some of the original events and they have added many others over the years such as motocross races, hill climbs for the professional and amateur. They even have drag races down Main Street.
There are many people that come in for the Rally. These vendors open booths and shops that offer to sell everything from custom motorcycle parts to tattooing. Some of the more popular things to do are just hang around Main Street and take in all the sights and sounds of the people and motorcycles. There are thousands and thousands of bikes and the population of Sturgis is estimated to be over 500,000 during the Rally.
Surrounding the Sturgis area there are many things that you can enjoy or sites to see. The attractions you can easily ride to be sites such as Mount Rushmore (62 Miles), Crazy Horse Memorial (67 Miles) and Deadwood (13 Miles). These distances are approximate but you get the idea. Make sure to take time to enjoy the area around the Rally.
The Sturgis Rally 2010 will be a great time you won’t want to miss. You’ll hear the sound of thousands of growling engines and smell the sweet smell of exhaust and see the shine of sunlight reflecting thousands of feet of chrome. I know you won’t want to miss it.
