I'm not sure I would call the Sioux City event a rally - a good time no less with great music and lots of bike. They do have a poker run on Saturday but the riding part of the event is limited. There is camping at a bar called the Ickey Nickel that is supposed to be a good time with good entertainment on site.

The dates are June 19th - June 21st. I am attaching links to the websites:

do they still have sturgis on the river in davenport? that was always big

 

Yep, still going on but it's now called Rally on the River. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...,d.aWc&cad=rja

It's on my calendar this year.

 

There are three that I go to every year. Sturgis on the River has a new name now. the open House in Anamosa Iowa by J&P is a 2 day rally with free food, entertainment and discounts.

The Auborn Indiana event is one day at the R&M car auction site. Discounted admission to the Dusenburg Museum is worth while.

Did I say free food at Anamosa? There is a fine Motorcycle Museum in town also. The open house at J&P has turned into a Rally with upwards of 20,000 in attendance.

 

Sandusky Ohio Bike week around the first weekend in June

 

So besides Algona, IA, which ones got boobies popping out?

 

OBW is good. Much more happening on the last Thursday-Saturday than the rest of the time, though.

Lake Perry (Memorial Day? I think.) was the first rally I ever went to, way back in '86. I know - for a lot of the guys on here, they'd had 30 years of riding by '86.

I was on my '84 Suzuki GS450T, and my buddy had a '74 sportster. We met a group on the road on the way down, and I got my first experience with the motorcycle community.

It was pretty amazing.
