The tradition began when local Indian Motorcycle dealer Pappy Hoel invited a few friends to town for a good time. The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has been promoted and organized by local small businesses and organizations for 80 years since. That tradition can continue today thanks to recent court rulings that put the power of the rally back into the hands of the people who are most passionate about its existence, bikers. On November 2, 2018, the appellate court ruled that Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Inc. (SMRI), in fact, did not own or have valid trademark rights to “Sturgis,” […]
