Sturgis - The Chip and Downtown


Sculpture in the Bufalo Chip Amphitheater

Downtown Sturgis is simply insane, gridlocked traffic and wall to wall bikes and bikers as far as the eye can see.

This is a side street...


but it's typical of every side street on either side of Lazelle Street, the main thoroughfare through town...

Main Street, a block off Lazelle, looks like this for nearly its entire length...



The Harley-Davidson exhibit takes up half a block. This is where they introduce their new line of motorcycles each year.



Everyone should go downtown once, then do everything humanly possiblre to avoid it again.

Crowds and traffic?  Hell, I can get that in downtown SF for cheap!

More to follow...
