A rather popular event that will take place next year is the Sturgis Rally in South Dakota. Every single year, thousands of motorcycle riders show up to this event to spend one or two weeks in freedom with other fellow riders. For some people when they think of Sturgis they think of a bunch of troubled riders getting together to party hard and get in fights, for others they think of motorcycle heaven.
Next year in the first two weeks of August Sturgis Bike Rally will be happening. This event takes place in the small town of Sturgis, South Dakota. Sturgis has a population of at least 5,000 people and during Sturgis more than 100,000 people show up for this event. Not everybody stays in this small town, they branch out from about 100 miles away. Many of the local folks rent out their lawns for bikers to set up tents on to make extra money during Sturgis, which is usually very successful for them.
There are many reasons on why people come to Sturgis and its not just bikers who enjoy it. Many people enjoy coming to Sturgis because of the entertainment. Just about every night there is a popular rock band, country band and a comedian. In 2008, Areosmith performed along with KISS. Many others performed as well. There are also motorcycle drag races that go on and that is another attraction that draws people to Sturgis to watch people race their motorcycles which is a blast to go watch.
The rally is also a very good way for people to show off their items. There are many people who work really hard throughout the year to build something mind blowing to show the people at Sturgis. It doesn't cost a thing to get into Sturgis but any souvenirs that you want you pay for. Many people also come to Sturgis to meet famous people. There are biker builders out there that are seen a lot on TV and people will travel to hopefully meet these builders and see what new items they have.
The Sturgis Bike Rally is a very awesome experience. I believe that everybody should see what Sturgis is like because its not what everybody says it is. It is a fun time to be able to see things that can only be seen during Sturgis, to ride with fellow bike riders and just enjoy the scenery of the Black Hills with roaring motorcycles flying by one after the other.
