20+ photos of the bikes and people of Sturgis’ 80th Anniversary
Every year, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally gives us amazing photos of the wild motorcycles and characters that make it such a popular event, and at least in that regard, 2020 is no different! As the rally celebrated its 80th anniversary, bikers from all over the world made their way to South Dakota to celebrate as well.
From the Buffalo Chip to Lazelle Street, this year’s event almost seemed like a normal rally. Though attendance was down nearly 8 percent from last year and lower than previously expected for the big anniversary, a claimed 462,182 riders still chose to come out and (hopefully) put the pandemic and the rest of 2020′s woes behind them, partying with motorcycles like they always do. Custom shows were full of builds and the concerts, though a bit more spaced out, were still full of people dancing and singing along.
From big wheel baggers to body paint, there is no spectacle in the motorcycle world quite like the Sturgis rally! Weird and wonderful, it’s always fun to watch the show.
