STURGIS -- Ed Spilker neatly summarizes why he and thousands of other people come to the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

“I like to be with all of my buddies, have fun, and celebrate,” Spilker said. The original Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle Club member rode his 1948 Indian cycle around the Sturgis Fairgrounds track Wednesday afternoon during intermission of the half-mile event.
