Things you can't miss if you are headed to Sturgis.
I know there's been a lot of threads about heading to Sturgis. Such as places to stay, etc. I'm planning on finally going this year and what I'd like you know is if you're headed there, what are some of the things you just can't miss. I'm talking about the sights, sounds, places, and experiences that go down as something you'll remember. Such as

Well all the vendors, bars and campgrounds in and near Sturgis are obvious. I would say don't forget about the Black Hills. Every road through them is incredible and there are numerous small out of the way places to stop for sustenance. Just ride the twisties with the intention of stopping when you see a bar alongside the highway. I think the touristy stops like Crazy Horse and Mt Rushmore are rip-offs. Check out all the towns like Hills, Spearfish and Hot Springs. Just ride, man, and you can't go wrong.

Take Hwy 44 out of Rapid City east bound across the bottom of the BadLands! Make sure you fill your tank BEFORE leaving Rapid City. It is over 100 miles to the next fuel stop in the town of Interior where you turn and go north into the park again. It is one of the more memorable rides and it is very isolated but one of my wife's and I favorite ride there. When you get to the park's main building, pull in for a brat and bud for 5 bucks and sit at a picnic table and watch the bikes go by, life don't get any better then that!

I had a great time riding around Sturgis, but it was real crowded. Honestly I had more fun on the ride out stopping in small towns and out of the way places. One the ride back I left on 85 down through Wyoming to Colorado and rode through Rocky Mountain National Park. It was a blast, but if you decide to go that way make sure to bring your leathers. Sturgis was fun, but I doubt I will make the trip again, at least not during the rally.
