The Story: Some bikers come to Sturgis every August for 10-days, others for just a day or two. Some come to be spectators or race, others to tour the hills and the Bad Lands. They come to meet up with friends, take in a concert, or just to party. But no matter what brought them to Sturgis, every biker is drawn to Main Street, as if it were the epicenter of the bike world. Riding it has become an annual ritual, without which, the trip wouldn't be complete.
