Sturgis is all good. I use to live in Rapid City,'78 was the first year for me. Yea, the crowd has changed alot but if anything it's much safer out there. The riding is world class, and the concerts/party are second to none. If you decide to party in Sturgis or go to a concert, plan on staying put. Riding back to a motel at night is a bad idea. Lots of wildlife crossing the path and lots & lots of law that have no problem wrecking your vacation. We ride all day and throw down at the Buffalo Chip.
