- The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is a motorcycle rally held annually in Sturgis, South Dakota, and the surrounding Black Hills region of the United States. It was begun in 1938 by a group of Indian Motorcycle riders and was originally held for stunts and races. Since then, the rally has become a pluralistic endeavor that consists of events put on by many different groups. Attendance has historically been around 500,000 people, reaching a high of over 700,000 in 2015. The event takes place over 10 days and generates around $800 million in annual revenue.
The first rally was held by Indian Motorcycle riders on August 14, 1938, by the Jackpine Gypsies motorcycle club. The club still owns and operates the tracks, hillclimb, and field areas where the rally is centered. The first event was called the "Black Hills Classic" and consisted of a single race with nine participants and a small audience. The founder was Clarence "Pappy" Hoel. He purchased an Indian motorcycle franchise in Sturgis in 1936 and formed the Jackpine Gypsies that same year. The Jackpine Gypsies were inducted to the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1997. Hoel was inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame the following year.
The focus of a motorcycle rally was originally racing and stunts. In 1961, the rally was expanded to include the Hillclimb and Motocross races. This could include half-mile track racing (the first year in Sturgis, there were 19 participants), intentional board wall crashes, ramp jumps and head-on collisions with automobiles.
The Sturgis Rally has been held every year, with exceptions during World War II. For instance, from 1942 to 1944, the event was not held due to gasoline rationing.
Originally the rally was a two-day event.
Through the 1970s and early 1980s, many attendees camped in City Park. When a record 40,000 visitors arrived in Sturgis in 1980, local residents became concerned with the behavior of these attendees. In 1982, a referendum was presented to the city asking them to no longer provide municipal services such as parking on Main Street, law enforcement and allowing camping in City Park. City attorney Dale Hansen advised that any vote would be non-binding and could not stop the rally because the motorcycle rally is sponsored by private groups.[12] Although the referendum was defeated 1,454 to 826, the City of Sturgis followed the mayor’s committee recommendation to prohibit camping in City Park and eliminate downtown street vendors.
To serve the needs of future rally attendees, the Buffalo Chip Campground was established outside of town. The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally venue first hosted campers in 1982. Over the years, the venue evolved to include vendors, campsites, cabins and stages,[9] becoming one of the biggest entertainment hubs of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
For many years, the rally was a seven-day event starting on a Monday during the first full week of August.
In 1987 the Buffalo Chip expanded its Sturgis Motorcycle Rally entertainment to the current 10-day and nine-night format. Bands that performed July 31 through August 9 included Black Oak Arkansas, Country Joe McDonald, Canned Heat, Mitch Ryder, among others.
In October 2016, the city of Sturgis expanded the city’s dates to match the 10-day format and have the rally start on the Friday before the first full week of August and end on the second Sunday. In 2017, the Rally became a 10-day event starting on the first Friday in August.
Attendance
The South Dakota Department of Transportation provides official traffic counts, which sometimes differ from official attendance figures. Attendance is higher on major anniversaries (e.g. 75th in 2015) and one or two years prior to the anniversary, and falls off the following year or two. “Attendance” is defined as vehicle crossings at about a dozen roads around Sturgis for 10 days, not the actual number of people attending the Rally. Most attendees are counted multiple times, so the actual number of people attending is much lower than the listed “attendance.”

@Juan Hernandez that’s a bit of a provocative statement. I ride a Harley. I have zero tattoos. Zero tassels. Zero ghetto sled mods on my bike.
@Juan Hernandez actually it’s brown. Does your car have hydraulics? Is there a mariachi band always playing on your stereo?
@Juan Hernandez you assume all Harley riders to have the same characteristics. What’s the difference?
What’s worse than Cold Mashed Potatoes?

@@T0tenkampf She is in heaven.
The way you linger over those BMWs and Hondas makes me think you’re looking for a real motorcycle, not just an eardrum destroyer.
i guess you didnt notice his accent?
I see they sell those tour boxes for the back of bikes to put your small dog or cat in. That should be against the law. I would never torture my dog pinned up in something like that. I would love to take the ass holes selling those things and lock their ass up in a small box. Damn this pisses me off.
I guess that you aren't understanding that an uneasy small animal will feel more at ease in a smaller enclosure than in a large one and it also lessens the chance of them being hurt in an accident. That is why thundershirts work. That is why the pack cattle into trailers.
