Sturgis Happenings

The 74th Annual Black Hills Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis South Dakota is just days away. We at Iron Trader News thought we’d provide some information that might help out those novices going for the first time or remind the grizzled veterans that there are things to do besides the same-old, same-old.

Every American motorcycle manufacturer and aftermarket parts company will be on hand to show you their products. Every campground and saloon will have nightly entertainment and other amenities to entice you to their establishment. Many events are free but most of the shows with big name acts or ‘special’ events will require a cover charge or ticket to enter. And be aware that, as they say, “stuff happens” so schedules may change.

We hope you party responsibly and ride safely because we want you to make it back alive so you can continue to enjoy ITN. And remember, if you want to get arrested the police will oblige you. Why be stupid and waste your hard earned money on fines and towing fees?

After you get done doing the tourist thing like visiting KlockWerks in Mitchell, the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Monument, Wall Drug, Devil’s Tower, Hulett Wyoming and head to Sturgis here’s a list of highlights for each day at various venues. No, its not a complete list but it will help.
