For one week each year, hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists journey to the American capital of motorcycling culture, Sturgis, to celebrate the freedom of the open road, turning the town into a hotspot for bars, bikes, and babes. Motorcycle enthusiasts can meet famous designers and riders, and buy riding gear, custom parts, and other merchandise. In addition to concerts, food and camaraderie, visitors can enjoy events like the traditional ride down Main Street, a series of concerts, demo rides, races and tours.
