STURGIS, S.D. – For bikers all roads lead to Sturgis, it seems. The annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally opened a nine-day run with perhaps 500,000 riders converging on this Black Hills town of 7,000 people for camping, boozing, gambling rumbling and concerts and taking pride in being with like-minded being enthusiasts. From east and west the most traveled route into Sturgis is Interstate 90 through Montana, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
