In case you've been living under some rock, Sturgis is on at this moment. Sturgis is one of those mythical motorcycle meets that everyone knows about (or should), even if you're not an American or living in the USA. Some 500,000 motorcycles gather in the hills of South Dakota for a week of motorcycle fun. Here are some photos as published by the newswires:
