When I went to see Crazy Horse in 2010 it was not during the rally. Why would I want to go to Sturgis?

 

I take it you've not been then?

When it takes you a half hour or more to get through a little city of 6447 people and it's bumper to bumper traffic with heat on an air cooled bike then for Sturgis it's a crowd.

 

If you don't want to be there, we don't want you there... that's for sure.

 

Then we’re on the same page.

 

Have been several times, can only take so much of the jam packed crowds before I need some space.

Have also ridden to East Coast Sturgis. I recall it raining for like 2 days straight. It was part of a larger tour but Marshall Tucker was playing so was memorable.

 

1. If you're a fan of live music, there's certainly plenty of that to go around. Iron Horse Saloon had free concerts every evening. I was able to see , and .
2. People watching in the bars. Maybe meet an interesting character.
3. Checking out the vendors looking for that new and interesting product.
4. A run down the dragstrip at Strugis Dragway. Baker's All-in to go All-out event is free. I took 10 runs down the dragstrip.

I'm sure there are many other reasons. Personally, I just enjoy the vibe.


I bet watching people ride up and down that large and fairly steep hill in the campground is rather entertaining.

 

I had said I was not there during the rally. I think it was probably in June.

 

Got it. Sorry. I misunderstood your comment.

 

No worries.

 

I recall some folks w/ a saddlebag full of beer and ice that kept pushing Coors Lights on me.....that and the rain, felt like I was in a Rambo movie at times.
