Sturgis Urges, The Millenium Sixtieth
The Sturgis Splurge
An extravaganza unique
A happening
A monumental party
A biker’s mystique
Sturgis Bikers
A bit misunderstood
A mysterious bunch
Unto themselves
Their own brotherhood
Sturgis Bikes
Roars from machinery
Bright paints and chrome
With plates from afar
And bags of chicanery
Sturgis Bound
From home towns each season
Beautiful summits and rivers
And prairies and deserts
The ride stands to reason
Sturgis
Thousands of thunderous mounts
Near a mountain with faces
Good roads and Badlands
It’s the experience that counts
