I just did a four-part series on Examiner.com about what it’s like in Sturgis and the surrounding area during Bike Week. Rather than just copy all that stuff here I’m going to give you a synopsis and links so you can go there and read it if you’re interested.<\/p>\n
Part 1: The decision to go, getting there, swarms of bikes flood the highways, settling in at home base in Rapid City, partying in Rapid.<\/a><\/p>\n Part 2: The Black Hills are the reason bikers love the area, Iron Mountain Road, pig-tail bridges, bikers everywhere.<\/a><\/p>\n Part 3: Into the epicenter, the Sturgis scene, hitting the Full Throttle. I don’t claim to be an authoritative voice on the Sturgis experience; this is just one person’s description of one visit. But at least it should begin to answer the question, “What’s it really like?”. Feel free to offer your own experiences in a comment. I’d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n You know you’re a biker wannabe if you put your pony-tail back in the drawer after you get home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just did a four-part series on Examiner.com about what it’s like in Sturgis and the surrounding area during Bike Week.
