Untold thousands of motorcyclists from around the world have converged in South Dakota for the 72nd Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Of course, Motorcycle.com made the trip to cover the most storied motorcycle rally in the world.
We rode up from Southern California on a Victory Hard-Ball we outfitted with a host of accessories from the Victory catalog, including a wind-blocking batwing fairing. We’ll have a four-part series on our project, the long ride to Sturgis and the event itself in the coming weeks. In the meantime, you can enjoy this photo essay of some of the things we’ve seen in Sturgis.

Great Pic’s. Rode mine 1300+ miles to join the party of a lifetime at Sturgis. Someone said a “Woodstock for Bikers”. Sunday to Sunday camping, I did. I saw it all. To bad I can’t tell the good stuff here. I’m going back every year im able. *** LOVE STURGIS ***
