We hope so if not you have a week to get ready it starts on August 3rd and runs through August 12th this year 10 days of fun and excitement. AMERiders will not only give you some of the highlights and let you know what is going to be going on, but we can help you get ready as well. We supply real bikers like you with the gear you need for the Sturgis road. From apparel, motorcycle accessories, and more. All of our motorcycle helmets are DOT and SNELL approved for safety and our selection includes everything from open face helmets, to modular helmets for bikers, motocross riders, and even snowboarders. We also have a selection of motorcycle accessories to customize your ride including quality durable luggage options.
Mayors Ride
We are going to start off by letting you know the one pf the first things happening at Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 2018 is the Mayor’s Ride that will be on 8/6 it only allows for 150 bikes so get registered now.
The ride was started in 2003 by former Mayor Mark Ziegler and has been carried on by the late Mayor Maury Larue and currently by Mayor Mark Carstensen. It was started with a route stopping at Mt. Rushmore for a group picture but has also enjoyed the beauty of Crazy Horse Memorial and the Center of the Nation Visitor Center in Belle Fourche.
Enjoy a beautiful ride through the Black Hills led by Sturgis Mayor Carstensen along with the Rally’s Grand Marshall (TBD). We will end our ride at the amazing Crazy Horse Memorial for a luncheon and presentation with Mayor Carstensen. A group photo with the memorial in the background will also be taken. At the conclusion, participants are encouraged to visit the theaters, the museums and visitor center.
Participants will receive a souvenir pack including a limited edition decanter signed by the Mayor, a 2018 Challenge Coin, T-shirt (size not guaranteed after June 6) and other collectibles provided by our sponsors. Please register today to guarantee your spot; only 150 bikes permitted. Must be 21 or older to participate.
Luggage
Luggage is necessary when riding for a long distance you may not need many pieces if it is just one of you but when there are two of you, it takes a bit more. We have many Luggage Sets available in a varying number of pieces for you to choose from or to mix and match such as this 6pc Heavy-Duty Waterproof Motorcycle Bag Set This gorgeous set features a windshield bag, sissy bar bag, tool bag, barrel bag, and a pair of 14-1/2″ x 12-1/2″ x 7-5/8″ saddle bags. They are a universal fit for most bikes and have not only chrome studs but quick release buckles as well. We also have other Luggage items that are lockable which are a good thing for Sturgis unless you have someone driving with you in a motorhome that has a spot to lock up your bike. Now that is what we call class.
