STURGIS — State figures show that Sturgis Motorcycle Rally traffic is up this year, but local law enforcement officials say their instincts tell them otherwise.
Counts of vehicles entering Sturgis since its official opening Friday show an increase of about 7.5% over the previous five-year average. The tallies are compiled by the South Dakota Department of Transportation.
