Sturgis 2016 Question

Hey all,
A buddy of mine and I are heading to Sturgis a week early.

I've read/heard it's busy even the week before and you can still have a great visit even that early on without all the major crowds.

Can anyone tell me if this is accurate?

Thanks in advance!

I have been there a week early in the past and yes you will find places open, many vendors set up and best of all you get to enjoy the scenic riding without all the crowds

I usually go the week before and leave on Saturday. You get the full Sturgis experience, all the vendors, all the bars, and most of the people!

My wife and I went last year for the first time and we also went early. It was fantastic riding early and as it got closer you could see and feel the crowd growing everywhere you went. Much better riding early.
