2021 Sturgis, SOUTH DAKOTA

DOWNTOWN

Gypsy and Lonestar visit Sturgis for the first the ever. What an experience.

1000’s of motorcycles lined the streets.

From steel horses to real horses. The Budweiser Clydesdales made an appearance.

There is so much to do while in Sturgis. I t can take hours walking around checking out all the motorcycles, some of which are very unique. Stores line the streets filled with all kinds of biker gear. There are also many restaurants/bars.

One very unique place we visited was the Motorcycle Museum. From antiques to modern day motorcycles, this is where you got to see them.

We were fortunate enough to meet Senator Dave Zien. He is an avid motorcycle rider with 119 world records, 11,000 miles in 31 days and 113,800 miles in one year.

He was in a very bad accident where he lost his left leg. And yes, he still rides. It was really great to meet him and hear him share some of his over-the-road stories.

The museum is a must see when visiting Sturgis. Learn a great deal of history of motorcycles.

We met former Wisconsin State Senator Dave Zien. He holds 119 world records, 11,000 miles in 11 days, over 31,000 miles in 31 days, and 113,800 miles in one year.

Even though he lost a leg in a motorcycle accident, he still rides. It was really interested to hear so many of his stories.
