How to Fit In at a Motorcycle Rally. Even if you don't live to ride and ride to live,
you can still go to a motorcycle rally and fit right in. You will need Harley-Davidson
Appropriate clothing Tattoos "Easyriders" magazines *** Volume Courtesy and bandanna
(optional). Step 1. Ride a Harley. A Harley-Davidson is the only kind of hog to ride to a rally
-- the more customized, the better. Step 2. Wear a T-shirt under a leather jacket, and
wear battered old bluejeans. Leather riding boots are a must. Ladies, less is more -- super-short
cut-offs and a bikini top will be fine. You can also tie a bandanna over your head. Step
3. Get plenty of tattoos and show off your ink. Remember to go heavy on the biker imagery
-- and a few skulls wouldn't hurt, either. Step 4. Read an _Easyriders_ magazine. _Easyriders_
has been the quintessential biker magazine for decades. Step 5. Drink beer -- and whiskey.
This is no time for wine or fancy cocktails. The Sturgis Rally features beer bars that
seat hundreds of bikers. Step 6. Don't be afraid to get loud. But don't get mean -- you'll
likely offend someone, and bikers are not known for shying away from a fight. Step 7.
Be friendly, be polite. Everyone there wants to have a good time, and you may be surprised
at how courteous the other rally attendees are. Cut loose and have some fun. Did you
know The first Sturgis Rally, known as the Black Hills Classic, was held on August 14,
1938.
