Are You Missing the Best of Sturgis 2026?

Trying to figure out what you absolutely CAN’T MISS at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally?

Keith Ball has the problem every rider has when Sturgis takes over the Black Hills: there’s so much happening that you could ride all day and still miss something you wish you’d seen.

So Keith went to someone who knows where the action is.

Penny from Easyriders Magazine.

In this Easyriders Sturgis rundown, Keith takes you through a packed week of bike shows, rides, industry parties, racing, legendary builders, Easyriders events, and some of the people who make Sturgis unlike anywhere else in the motorcycle world.

Think of this as your Easyriders insider guide to Sturgis.

As you watch, imagine rolling into town, hearing motorcycles echoing down Main Street, seeing bikes everywhere you look—and knowing exactly where you want to ride next.

Because this isn't just about watching Sturgis.

It's about experiencing it.

And Easyriders is right in the middle of it.

???? THE EASYRIDERS INDUSTRY PARTY ????

Sunday | 5:00–8:00 PM
1008 Main Street | Sturgis

Keith says Easyriders has a few surprises planned.

If you're in Sturgis, you don't want someone telling you about this party afterward.

You want to be there.

The week keeps rolling Monday with Pearl's Jam at the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and Ricky's Wild Vegas Pool Party at the Steel Pony.

Then Tuesday brings the Biker Belles Ride, Trask Invitational Bike Show, Michael Lichter Industry Show and Baker Burnouts.

Wednesday gets even bigger.

Keith talks about the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame Breakfast—and something especially important to the Easyriders family:

The founders of Easyriders Magazine are being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

That's motorcycle history.

You'll also hear about the Cycle Source Run to the Line, Motorcycles as Art Industry Party, Baker Drags at Thunder Road Raceway, the Hamster Barbecue and more happening throughout the Black Hills.

Then Thursday brings another VTwin Visionary event on Main Street before Friday's Rusty Wallace Ride helps close out an absolutely packed week.

Keith's advice?

Get up early, Get the bike ready, And ride. Because Sturgis doesn't wait for anybody.
