You can always tell when summer comes the trees are full, the days are getting warmer, and people are getting ready for that ride to Sturgis, South Dakota. This being the 68th year this is an event people go out of their way to attend. The scenery is spectacular, riding is great, and most of the locals go out of their way to make you feel at home. Of course riding in the Black Hills of South Dakota is the main reason to come to Sturgis. And on top of that, Harley-Davidson usually unveils their new models for the up and coming year during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Among all the different events happening there’s also going to be the 6th Annual Mayor’s Ride, Michael Lichter’s annual exhibit, AMD’s World Championship of Custom Bikes, free style stunt riders, the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum And Hall of Fame, along with multiple bike shows and concerts throughout the area. The 68th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is August 4th thru the 10th, but people will probably be rolling in around the beginning of August or even late July. I was surfing around the web when I came upon a tentative schedule of some of the happenings this year. Hope it helps, check back from time to time as we get more info we’ll post it. See Ya on the Highway, Mr. Magoo

We are back,one of the original motorcycle enthusiasts newspapers Iron Biker News. Some of you folks might remember the old newspaper called Iron Biker News put out by Steele Publishing Inc., a monthly newspaper aimed toward the motorcycle community. WELL to make a long story short for now let’s say we’re back. Let me start by introducing ourselves to you. My name is William S. Macgoo, otherwise known as, Mr. Magoo.
