Bikers cruise South Dakota's Badlands, USA
South Dakota’s scenic highways roar to life this week as hundreds of bikers from all over the US arrive for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. The small town of Sturgis, population roughly 7,000, swells to a gathering of half a million for this event, which includes 10 days of races, concerts and revelry. The Sturgis rally was founded in 1938 by the Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle Club and Sturgis resident Clarence ‘Pappy’ Hoel – a legend in these parts. What started as a modest gathering of just nine riders is now one of the largest rallies in the world.
