Sturgis

Post by PKrellner »

I'm posting this in rides and events since it is a question about Sturgis. Sturgis hosts a huge motorcycle rally every year and I was just wondering if any of you with a scooter have ever gone there with a scooter or had the balls to do it. Would you get run out of town or what? Are there any large scooter rallies in the US? So far I've located one scooter club that was started and since died here in southern Utah. Seems there's no interest here. I myself would never even think of going anywhere near Sturgis except to see the crowds and the variety of bikes there. I've met a few bikers on the road that were headed there and the conversations I had with them were very interesting not to mention their beautiful bikes.

We ride to Sturgis, Michigan most years in August during the week of the real Sturgis rally in South Dakota, just to say we went to Sturgis. Hanging around with drunk partiers isn't my idea of a good time, so we were never interested in going to the real Sturgis rally.

Well that's where you are wrong. Sturgis is a "Harley Rally", not a motorcycle rally. Dont assume that other brands would be welcome. (well maybe the occasional BMW) But who would want to attend that drunk-fest anyway??

Never been but would be happy to go on any bike. Most motorcyclists are just harmless idiots

I just saw this video on motortrends website. This sounds more like an event I'd want to attend on any2 wheeled vehicle.
