n our last issue we ran some photos from the Sturgis Rally and promised more in this issue. So here goes, yet more of the scene from this year’s rally, the 60th annual. As this report shows, Sturgis is made up of key builders, supporters of good causes, industry people showing of their latest gizmos, and lots of bikes. Chad Zulian Photo.

Bob Illingworth has lots of help, but he is one of the key people that makes the Kids & Chrome banquet happen at the Rally. This year the event raised approximately $500,000 for the Children’s Care Hospital & Schools in South Dakota, plus other charities. Sharon Haak photo.
