摘要

My first day at the black hills classic, I was invited by the mayor of Sturgis to go on a little ride, part of a 240-bike flotilla that-thanks to South Dakota's finest at every stoplight-rolled unimpeded the 65 miles to VIP parking at Mount Rushmore. Arriving back in town a few hours later, we were treated to a catered lunch of bar-. beque buffalo sandwiches and handed commemorative decanters of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel sipping whiskey. Is this a great rally, or what!? Even without the special treatment, being at Sturgis in early August is just about the best thing you can do with a cruiser. It's been that way since 1938 when J.C. "Pappy" Hoel, local Indian dealer, all-around riding enthusiast and founder of the Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle Club, convinced Sturgis businessmen to ante up $500 as the pot for a half-mile dirt-track race. That first year, all of 19 racers showed up, and there weren't many more than that in the stands. Sixty-six summers later, rally attendance tallied an amazing 515,000, almost doubling the population of South Dakota and bringing in $100s of millions in revenue. Not a bad return on that original $500 stake. Ol' Pappy passed away in 1989, but the one-time seller of Scouts and Chiefs, wher-ever he is, has to be reveling in the glorious irony that his little gathering has gone on to become one of the major events on the Harley-Davidson calendar-fully 90 percent of rally-goers ride Milwaukee iron.
