Sturgis stirs very unique feelings. Because of the beautiful riding in the Black Hills and in the Dakota plains. Because nobody has more friends than a biker, and of course the summer event is the perfect pretext to meet your extended biker family.
You ask all the time with who I hang with during the rallies I attend. So, this post is about a few of the industry friends with who I spent a few days of quality time during this landmark 75th Sturgis anniversary. (More pictures on 2nd page) No worry, bikes are coming in the next posts… (photography @ Horst Roesler for Cyril Huze)

Could not make it this year for the 75th. Thank you Cyril for your excellent reports and pictures. See you had fun, which is all about.
Cool postcards!
Look at what Jesse James got in his left hand…
Wish I was there. Next year.
2015.Sturgis. The big guys. The big wheels. The big boobs. The big traffic
The older lady on the patina chopper rocks! Hell ya guys! If she can do it; so can we at her age…
Almost like I was there…
Cyril. I enjoy your photographic reports
Basking in the memories of a wonderful time. Hooray for the motorcycle world and the businesses that support our machines that fly on the ground! Already planning ’16.
The “older lady on the patina chopper” is not your average “older lady”. Most young bucks would have a hard time keeping up with her in terms of miles in the saddle or energy or class. Calamity Betsy, one of a kind. If she can do it, you just might not be able to, regardless of age.
LOL Betsy Huelskamp is not old!!
Probably one of the coolest and most adventurous people you will meet on a HD 🙂
