Watching the coeds? Like a fisherman watching the fish swim by. As a fisherman I am an advocate of the "Catch and Release" strategy. I suggest the same for guys young enough to do so.
For me, old enough to be a coeds father, perhaps a coed's mom might want to go for a ride?

Have fun.... Not much to do in Sturgis without the rally, but you can still ride up to Starkville and watch the coeds.

If it don't make money, it ain't on the list.
Why is it the biggest bestest bike rallies are gauged on how much there was to do and see and buy? The times I remember most fondly are the ad hoc meetings, pointless rides down the Natchez Trace, finding old friends and discovering Ratliff Ferry's restaurant isn't always open. I can't tell you what I bought at last year's Sturgis South, but I have a vivid memory of a trike made out of the *** end of a VW bug, heat prostration, and a huge, cold, free Gatorade from the roving medical team. The best get-togethers are the gatherings of gray old eagles, showing off their new metal and their improbably old rebuilds, and making plans to do it all again next week.
I'll be at Sturgis, Mississippi on October 8th, 2011, looking for some place to get a cold soda.
Roo!

Hey, they had a great Rally going for quite a number of years and it was a lot of fun, but poor management, local infighting, politics, and not investing in a first class place to bring 35,000 people together ended the Sturgis South Rally, NOT the people who attended the rally!
I'm not saying I won't go back, but the Rally will have to be better planned.
Nothing will kill your enthusiasm quicker than a dirty Port A Potty and standing in backed up sewage to take a shower. I like to have a place or something to eat, and don't consider "free Gatoraid from a roving medical team" a treat!
Maybe you, being a local, can attend some of their town meetings and steer them back in the right direction. Look at the Rally from a different view point, realize that most attendees, travel a great distance to attend and are not able to ride home at night, to take a shower!
Maybe the Rally is not Lost Forever, keep us posted!

CMA will be having a memorial ride October 8, 2011, in honor of Jody, the First Lady of Sturgis South. KSU at 9:00 AM. All are welcome. It will start at the Vineyard Church in Flowood, and proceed to a church in Sturgis. The park will be closed that day.

Dream Riders will be hosting a benefit poker run covering Ackerman, Sturgis, and surrounding communities on October 8th, 2011. More details will follow, but you can expect this to be a big one! Proceeds will go toward heart surgery for 10 month old Kailynn Burton, as well as toward the purchase of a "Thera-togg" body suit for 2 year old Beau Carson so he can learn to walk.
See you at Sturgis!

I saw a reference to watching the coeds. Most of the "coeds" i saw walking around in Sturgis last year seemed to be around 15. think i'm going to the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, AR. At least the "coeds" might be older.
