Every August motorcyclists from all over the world travel to Sturgis to be submerged in a land where people once traveled across the prairie in covered wagons, and cowboys still ride their horses. Sturgis offers more than just a good time; it is a place where motorcyclists enjoy camaraderie with their friends and the freedom of the open road. As I watch my generation of motorcyclists enjoy this land I feel the connection they have with the environment, where the motorcycle, the soul and the landscape become one. These images attempt to capture that connection — where machine becomes part of the scenery in Sturgis.
