Well the riding is a hell of a lot better before or after.

Goose, we love riding in S Dakota. You can go from the Badlands to the Black Hills and see every kind of terrain in between. Historic little towns, cool breweries and great hikes/Natl and state parks. For us, the best time to visit is June of September, good weather and not a lot of traffic. I’ve ridden the Needles highway without seeing another bike for 30 minutes at a time. I went to my last sturgis rally 25 years ago and no different than Daytona Bikeweek except for the riding and more spread out. Since then, been back to the area several times for week long riding trips and really enjoy the area.

Custer State Park is one of my favorite rides. But not during the rally. Wild buffalo, turkey, and the begging burros that block the road and won’t let you pass.
Most of them are better looking than Rocky.
