History
The first rally was held by
Indian Motorcycle
riders on August 14, 1938, by the Jackpine Gypsies motorcycle club.
[4]
The club still owns and operates the tracks,
hillclimb
, and field areas where the rally is centered. The first event was called the "Black Hills Classic" and consisted of a single race with nine participants and a small audience. The founder is
Clarence "Pappy" Hoel
. He purchased an Indian motorcycle franchise in Sturgis in 1936 and formed the Jackpine Gypsies that same year.
[4]
The Jackpine Gypsies were inducted to the
Motorcycle Hall of Fame
in 1997.
[5]
Hoel was inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame the following year, in 1998.
[6]
The focus of a motorcycle rally was originally
racing
and
stunts
. In 1961, the rally was expanded to include the Hillclimb and Motocross races.
[4]
This could include half-mile track racing (the first year in Sturgis, there were 19 participants), intentional board wall crashes, ramp jumps and head-on collisions with automobiles.
The Sturgis Rally has been held every year, with exceptions during World War II. For instance, in 1942, the event was not held due to gasoline rationing.

Harley-Davidson, Inc.
(
H-D
), or
Harley
, is an American
motorcycle
manufacturer, founded in
Milwaukee
,
Wisconsin
in 1903.
As one of two major American motorcycle manufacturers to survive the
Great Depression
(along with
Indian
),
[5]
the company has survived numerous ownership arrangements, subsidiary arrangements (e.g.,
Aermacchi
1974-1978 and
Buell
1987-2009), periods of poor economic health and product
quality
, as well as intense global competition
[6]
— to become one of the world's largest motorcycle manufacturers and an iconic brand widely known for its
loyal following
— with owner clubs and events worldwide as well as a company sponsored brand-focused museum.
Noted for a style of customization that gave rise to the
chopper
motorcycle style,
[7]
Harley-Davidson traditionally marketed heavyweight, air-cooled
cruiser
motorcycles with
engine displacements
greater than 700 cm³ — and has broadened its offerings to include its more contemporary
VRSC
(2002) and middle-weight
Street
(2015) platforms.
Harley-Davidson manufactures its motorcycles at factories in York, Pennsylvania; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Kansas City, Missouri; Manaus, Brazil; and Bawal, India — and markets its products worldwide.
Besides motorcycles, the company licenses and markets merchandise under the Harley-Davidson brand, among them being apparel, home decor and ornaments, accessories, toys, and scale figures of its motorcycles, and video games based on its motorcycle line and the community.
