Sturgis Rides
I did research online before I went this year, 2011. I didn't find any direct answers, so I had to use multiple posts and websites.
When at Sturgis, they have Black Hills maps at the different businesses. Here is the website for the map:

I would also go to New Castle, WY via 85, then towards Custer City on 16. It was a nice ride.
I heard going north on 79 from Bear Butte State Park and west on 212 was a good ride.
From Rapid City, I would go east on 44 to get to the Badlands. Stop at Wall afterwards, it's a nice little town.
The map online doesn't highlight Vanocker to Nemo or 385, but they are part of the Northern Hills.
Always fill up on gas. I didn't have any problems, but some people do.
If you see a bunch of bikes pulled over, then something cool is probably going on, so you might want to check it out.

We were there for 5 days and put on a couple hundred miles each day but barely scratched the surface for all there is to see out there. The maps were very handy and helpful. Have to make a return trip next year and spend some time in the outer areas. 5 days there just doesn't seem like enough. We spent two days on the road each way and were gone a total of 9 days. Next year it's going to have to be a two week event minimum.
