Sturgis holds alot of memories. Sixty-two years to be exact and this year marks its sixty-third. It's turned into the biggest event in the motorcycle rally world, not to mention the revenue it brings in. You can even have a wedding there!

The area is known for the Black Hills and the Badlands,home of the Great Sioux Nation. The Jackpine Gypsies was a local motorcycle club founded by J.C. "Pappy" Hoel, a local Indian motorcycle store owner. The rally that the Jackpine Gypsies started has grown since 1938, drawing a million people every year. There is a local motorcycle museum with the history of the Jackpine Gypsies as well as some vintage Harley and Indian motorcycles.
