So Many Activities in Sturgis
Look... if you're coming to Sturgis just to park your bike on Main Street and people-watch, that's cool. But if you actually want to do something fun, we've got you.
We've got a stacked week of events that'll keep you busy, dirty, and probably a little happier. Here's where you need to be.
11th Annual Sportster Showdown
Tuesday, August 11th | 1pm-5pm
If it says Sportster on the tank (or at least started life that way), we want to see it.
The Sportster Showdown is back for its 11th year, bringing together the wildest, cleanest, fastest, weirdest, and most creative XL builds around. Whether you're rolling in with a pristine show bike or something that looks like it escaped a junkyard and somehow got cooler, this is your crowd.
But that's just the start.
During the show, be a part of:
-
Cycle Source Magazine Dirt Drags — because racing in the dirt is always a good idea.
-
Flat Out Friday Mini Bike Races — tiny bikes, questionable decisions.
-
Danger Dan's Kickstart Competition — think you've got the leg for it? Prove it.
It's bikes, racing, music, cold drinks, and the kind of stories that usually start with "Watch this..."
If you're only making one Led Sled event during Sturgis... don't miss this one.
Buffalo Chip Bikini Beach Bike Show
Wednesday, August 12 | 12pm-5pm
You've seen bike shows.
You've probably seen bikini contests.
But have you seen motorcycles sitting in the water?
Yeah... last year we literally had bikes displayed in the water.
We said what we said.
The Buffalo Chip Bikini Beach Bike Show is one of the most unique stops during Rally Week, and we're bringing the heat again. Killer customs, beach vibes, cold drinks, and plenty of reasons to hang around all afternoon.
Trust us—you'll want to see this one for yourself.
Dirt to Deadwood Ride
Thursday, August 13 | 9am-1pm
Want to get off the pavement for a while?
Come ride some of the best trails the Black Hills has to offer with Danger Dan, Pat Patterson, and Patrick Garvin.
Meet: Nemo Fire Department — 9:00 AM
Kickstands Up: 10:00 AM
We'll carve our way through some incredible Black Hills terrain before rolling into historic Deadwood for lunch.
This isn't a race. It's just a good ride with good people, killer scenery, and enough dirt to remind you why dual sports exist in the first place.
If you've never ridden these trails, you're missing out. Interested? Follow @ledsledcustoms , @dangerdanimal and @pgarvin on Instagram for more details!
Don't Just Come to Sturgis. Be Part of It.
Sturgis isn't about sitting in traffic all day. It's about riding hard, finding your people, checking out killer bikes, trying something new, and making memories you'll probably have to piece together the next morning.
We'll see you in the dirt, on the beach, at the races, and maybe at a port-a-jon.
