Sturgis has a different kind of heat from actual racing. It's not a place to compete on speed, it's a place to celebrate the act of riding itself. With 1,200 bikes gathering, the atmosphere on the ground must be insane. Customs and exhibitions rolled into one, it's one of the world's top festivals for riders. I'd love to stand in the middle of that energy at least once.

Wonder how much the local rental costs, the weak yen has me shaking.

86th edition, that's an insane amount of history, a different order of magnitude from Japanese events.

Over 1,200 units at Sturgis, the scale is straight-up festival level.

Over 1,200 units, the largest ever, makes you wonder how many they usually have on hand.
