Riding To Sturgis from JERSEY!

Journey to Sturgis: The Wild Ride from New Jersey on a Harley Street Glide

There’s a special kind of freedom found on the open road, and for Jake and Laura, it was time to chase it from New Jersey to Sturgis on their Harley Street Glide. The journey promised adventure, but little did they know just how wild the ride would get. Chris the owner of Legendary USA warned them to expect the unknown!


Day 1: The Departure

Jake and Laura waved goodbye to the familiar Jersey skyline as they roared onto the highway, after stopping at their favorite motorcycle gear shop Legendary USA in Brick, NJ. They are close with the owner who advised them and helped them plan their trip. After getting a new pair of American Deerskin gloves, they hopped on their bike. The sun just peeking over the horizon. The first day was smooth, the miles melting away beneath the hum of the Street Glide. They stopped at a quirky diner in Pennsylvania, where the owner, a bearded biker named Gus, regaled them with tales of his own Sturgis adventures. Little did they know, this was just a taste of the eccentric encounters to come.


Day 2: The Haunted Motel

Crossing into Ohio, the couple decided to rest for the night at a seemingly quaint roadside motel. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the motel took on an eerie glow. The owner, an elderly woman with piercing blue eyes, handed them a key with a warning: “Stay away from Room 13.” Naturally, curiosity got the better of Jake.

In the middle of the night, they heard strange noises. Jake, ever the adventurer, decided to investigate Room 13. The door creaked open to reveal... nothing but a cat, staring at him with glowing eyes. Laura couldn’t stop laughing at Jake’s wide-eyed retreat. “I told you so,” she chuckled.

Day 3: The Bison Blockade

The next day brought them into the vast plains of South Dakota. As they cruised along a lonely stretch of road, they found themselves face-to-face with a herd of bison. The massive creatures sauntered across the road, completely unbothered by the rumbling Harley. Jake and Laura sat in awe, snapping pictures and videos, feeling the pulse of the wild.


Day 4: The Storm of the Century

Riding through the Midwest, the weather can change in the blink of an eye. They were greeted by ominous clouds and a sudden downpour that turned the highway into a treacherous river. With visibility near zero, they pulled over under an overpass, huddling together against the wind. As thunder rumbled and lightning split the sky, they shared stories and laughter, their bond growing stronger with each passing storm.

Day 5: The Biker’s Blessing

Entering the outskirts of Sturgis, they were flagged down by a group of leather-clad bikers. Expecting trouble, they were instead welcomed into a roadside bar, where they were treated like long-lost family. The bikers, all Sturgis veterans, shared their secrets for surviving the rally. They even performed a “biker’s blessing,” a hilarious but heartfelt ceremony involving beer, barbecue, and a lot of laughter.

Day 6: The Arrival

Finally, they roared into Sturgis, greeted by the deafening thunder of thousands of bikes and the sight of fellow riders reveling in the freedom of the open road. The journey had been filled with unexpected twists, eerie encounters, and heartwarming moments. As they parked their Street Glide and looked around, Jake and Laura knew that this adventure was just the beginning.


Their wild ride to Sturgis wasn’t just about the destination; it was about the crazy, unforgettable experiences along the way. From haunted motels and bison blockades to biker blessings, every mile had brought them closer together and deeper into the heart of the biker community. With the roar of Sturgis in their ears, they couldn’t wait to see what other adventures awaited them on the road ahead.
