Notice: During your stay in Sturgis be very careful where you park, especially with such limited parking. Any vehicle parked next to a yellow curb, a red curb, or anywhere where it is posted "No Parking" will be towed away as well as ticketed. Also, there is "No Parking" on Main Street and the side streets of Main between the hours of 2:00am and 6:00am so the street crew are able to clean up the streets every night.

DON’T BE A VICTIM

Every year, motorcycles are stolen during the Rally. Expensive, custom or show bikes are popular with thieves. An average of a quarter of a million dollars worth of motorcycles are stolen during each Rally. Some efforts can be taken to lower the risk of yours being stolen:

· Be aware of where you park. Avoid dark, poorly lit areas. Pay attention to people standing around who seem to take particular interest in your bike.

· Do not leave leathers, cameras, souvenirs, etc. on your bike.

· LOCK YOUR MOTORCYCLE!

· Factory ignition switch locks are easily overcome by thieves. High-quality disc locks, wheel locks and heavy cable or chain locks are recommended in addition to factory installed devices. Inexpensive locks are generally of poorer quality and are easily broken or cut.

Determined thieves can steal any motorcycle, but common sense and taking these extra precautions will reduce your chances of being a victim.
