Sturgis Bike Rally: Get revved up to experience the Granddaddy of cycle rallies

Sturgis Bike Rally is one of the world’s oldest, largest and greatest rallies

Each summer more than a half-million motorcycle enthusiasts make the pilgrimage to the Black Hills of South Dakota for the Sturgis Bike Rally. Many are repeat attendees, drawn to the unique combination of scenery, outstanding touring roads, music and non-stop party action on and around famous Sturgis Main Street. Sturgis offers the best in hospitality, entertainment, motor-sport activities and vendors. And this year will be a big one with the rally celebrating its 70th anniversary.

All in a setting that is a dream-ride for any biker enthusiast – Harley-Davidson or otherwise! Known as the Mecca of Motorcycling, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally takes place among the granite peaks and creek-carved canyons of South Dakota’s Black Hills, August 9-15, 2010.

Rentals at Sturgis rally vs. taking your own motorcycle to Sturgis Bike Rally

Pack your leathers and head west for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally set in the Black Hills of South Dakota, home to the highest concentration of parks, monuments and memorials in the country. The Sturgis Bike Rally is all about the ride – discovering attractions like Badlands National Park and the Wild West town of Deadwood – all in a single day.

Considering rentals at Sturgis rally? Why not tour these historic sites atop your own bike? A big problem with motorcycle escapes is either time or weather. Sometimes it's both. A two-day ride out to Sturgis could be, in reality, a four-day ride – and nature’s forecast could make it a miserable two-wheeled journey with soaring temperatures or sudden downpours. If you get one or two weeks of vacation, just getting there eats up all your valuable vacation time.

"Thanks for your help in arranging the transport of my 25-bike collection. It was a pleasure dealing with you and everything went smoothly and professionally. As I told you when I first contacted you about this move, I never even checked any other shippers. Since I first used your company at the Vegas auction, I have been impressed by the equipment and the service."
