We have a local dealer here in Florida, Bruce Rossmeyer's Harley Davidson, which is pretty much "ground zero" for either Bike Week in March or Biketoberfest in October. At some point during those events, you have to get to Rossmeyer's.
Well, the Black Hills Rally has a similar dealer, only it's like Rossmeyer's on steroids: Black Hills Harley Davidson.
Black Hills Harley is right off of I-90 in Rapid City, and it would be a monumental understatement to say that it's "absolutely huge". Dealers from all over the country ship bikes to Black Hills Harley for their "used bike" sale during the rally. They set up an enormous tent, and they have literally thousand of motorcycles on hand. By the end of the rally, though, the tent is pretty much empty:
Black Hills Harley has a wide array of vendors and, really, I don't care what you're looking for, if it's motorcycle related it'll be here. Hell, even if it's not motorcycle related it might be here. But the main attraction, of course, are the motorcycles. With so many of them on hand, it's hard to whittle it down to a few representative photos, but I'll try:
Okay, so the guns were special editions with a rather clear political message but, hey, when in Rome, right? They weren't cheap, either, all being into the four figures. And, if you found yourself getting hungry, you know you're always going to find good eatin' at a motorcycle rally:
All in all, Black Hills Harley was quite the experience. The only aspect they lacked in was live music, which we tend to have no shortage of in Daytona. Even still, though, the sheer number of motorcycles would make up for it for any motorcycle fan, with acres and acres of them to drool over...
