Harley Sturgis 2014 Events
The 74th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally invades the Black Hills of South Dakato this Saturday, August 2, through Saturday, August 9.
Always a main attraction at the show, Harley-Davidson has many events planned for Sturgis 2014, including activities such as free bike washes, rides and demos. And to help everyone navigate the Harley events at Sturgis with ease, The Motor Company has launched a free mobile app.
Harley’s entire Sturgis schedule will be featured on the App, and also maps, H.O.G. experiences, a dealer locator, and optional push notification updates with the latest info riders need to get the most out of Sturgis. Fans can search H-D Events Sturgis on iTunes or GooglePlay to download the app, and use #sturgis to share their experiences.
Besides the activities, Harley will also showcase the new Street 750, along with Project LiveWire, its first electric motorcycle.
“This year’s Sturgis Rally is set to be the biggest one yet,” said Kris Schoonover, Manager of Event Strategy and Execution at Harley-Davidson. “We’ve got a packed schedule of events and entertainment all week long. Sturgis riders will have the chance to provide feedback on Project LiveWire and check out our brand-new Street 750, which is available at dealers now. We’re confident our fans won’t be disappointed.”
