In a land where bison once thundered across the prairie, modern-day cowboys rumble over the land on iron horses heading to the Mecca of the motorcycling world: Sturgis, South Dakota. One thousand motorcyclists attended the program in the city park during the 1965 rally. Current estimated attendance is 5-600,000 bikes. Right now is your chance to join 5 other bikes plus a guide on the Northwest Motorcycle Sturgis Bike Week Tour. This tour serves as the epitome of a motorcyclists dream, the highlight of a lifetime of riding. Covering 3700 miles, it is for experienced riders. You need to feel like you wear your bike, not just ride it as you will average 350 miles a day. In Sturgis, we will hit all the highlights, including rides to nearby Devils Tower, Mt. Rushmore, the Pigtails, and Spearfish Canyon. You will get to see Deadwood, a goldrush town that attained notoriety for the murder of Wild Bill Hickok. Plus we will visit the Broken Spoke and Full Throttle Saloons, glimpse Buffalo Chip campground famous for the bands that play there, and there will be time to ride and walk the streets of Sturgis both day and night. And that is only part of the story. The ride out there and back picks up Glacier National Park, vacant back roads through the Rocky Mountains, and sights and experiences that rival Sturgis itself. You'll love every minute of it. Join the pilgrimage. Come with us to Sturgis.
