Rosecarmel, I remember Sturgis very well. We were on our first visit to the USA from UK and landed in that area without any prior knowledge of Sturgis. I was doing the driving and we couldn't understand why hordes of motorcycles kept sweeping past us. My husband loves motorcycles and got talking to some of the riders. Then we found out about Sturgis and the impossibility of finding a motel in the vicinity. We ended up sleeping in a car park, or trying to. Upside was we got to drive out really early through a national park where we encountered a porcupine and a couple of elks and got to see the sun rise. Quite exciting actually. Wall to wall Harleys.
Yes! It's an enthusiasts dream come true and the area beautiful- I used to ride and always enjoyed the motorcycle events when I went- They do get repetitive but the ride there and back I never grew tired of-
The Daytona motorcycle police are so amazingly proficient-The short video below is just one officer- Now imagine a group of 12 doing that on a city street, weaving in between each other instead of cones-

The best bike I ever saw and fell in love with was a rat bike with a suicide shift and all these little odd artful pieces on it- Alfred E Neuman was painted on both sides of the gas tank-
