I've been to Sturgis a few times for the rally . I always liked staying at Custer State park and riding from there. Last time out we were riding the loop and a herd of buffalo crossed the road and stopped traffic . As we were sitting there on the bike all of a sudden the guy behind me lurched forward up onto the grass and slammed on the brakes. I get ready to ask him WTF and my girlfriend says, " I think that big buffalo was going to get us" I look over his hood and there is a buffalo head the size of a small car staring at us. I was much grateful
that area is beautiful. It's better to go before or after the rally unless you want to see the insanity and get the T-shirt .
