Sturgis 2002
Sturgis
2002 From the heat to the floods, Sturgis 2002
was a blast. And mainly because the crowds were huge.
Much bigger than was anticipated by the so-called
experts.
Some think it was because of the pent-up demand from
Sept. 11. People were ready to do something, after
being subdued and stay-at-home-bodies for a year.
And Sturgis 2002 provided the outlet.
Mountain
rides - Sturgis 2002
So,
the Black Hills was packed during Sturgis 2002. The
riding was good most of the time. There were the occasional
thunderstorms - real gully washers that soaked anyone
caught out in the deluge. But there was none of the
week-long drips that are the real pain.
Several nights had the most fantastic lights shows
in existence - hundreds of lightning bolts that lit
up the sky across the mountains and western South
Dakota high plains.
Just
a warm-up at Sturgis 2002
Well,
it may be a little mind boggling, but most of the
people who have done this for years and years are
predicting an even bigger rally next year. That's
the big Harley anniversary, and It should be bigger
than Sturgis 2002.
The more the better, actually, because it makes it
more fun. The crowds of hundreds of thousands of bikers
is like nothing else in bikingdom.
Sturgis 2002 is dead, long live Sturgis 2003.
