While you are in the town of Sturgis make sure everyone has their bikes square away with all proper documentations. Because in 2010, I saw a lot of bikes being towed away swinging in the air from the back of many tow trucks. Cop there are gathered from different towns and states, who are very strick with traffic laws. They are there to make a point! Be sure that you stop with both feet on the ground everytime at stop signs and they are many stop signs for traffic control there. Other then that it was a blast and a great time with many memories that would last me a life time.

I have been there almost every year since 1999 and never seen any bikes being towed except for guys/gals who were dui. Also I only put one foot down at stops, but I do come to a complete stop.
