Sturgis Rally General Info

Simply stated, Sturgis is the Mecca for bikers and hopefully you will be able to experience the rally more than once in your life. The Sturgis biker rally is one of what we refer to as the "Big 3" rallies (the others being Daytona Bike Week and Laconia), and it is on the 2013 Lightning Customs' Major Biker Rallies List.

The Sturgis rally all started in 1938 when the "Pappy" Hoel (the founder of the Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle Club) started promoting a very small racing event. Now, the Black Hills rally has grown to be the premier Harley rally in the world and attracts hundreds of thousands of bikers each year to the Sturgis area.

Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Attractions

Besides riding down the historic Sturgis Main Street there are tons of scenic rides for you to experience like the ride to the Badlands, Devil's Tower, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Black Hills National Forest, and the Crazy Horse Memorial. Keeping with the tradition of racing there are different distance races, hill climbs, drag racing, short track racing, and other racing events.

Motorcycle manufacturers, parts and accessory manufactures, major distributors, and any other major players have big rig setups and since it is Sturgis they will have the biggest and best displays of the year.

The Sturgis rally attracts celebrities and top name bike builders, has bike shows, top name bands, rides, exhibits, demo rides, stunt shows, plenty of contests for the ladies, other biker contests, the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame to visit, and tons of vendors. This happens at various venues in Sturgis and the infamous biker bars venues like the Buffalo Chip and the Full Throttle Saloon.
