See the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, one of the biggest rallies (and most important cultural touchstones) in the American West, through the eyes of a biker-MD. Every nook and cranny is explored, every depth plumbed, the event lain bare in the way only an insider and a doctor can.
The people that visit the event come from all walks of life and their passion for motorcycles brings them together to push aside differences and embrace another life, even if only for a short period, and the unique edge of the place cannot be overstated.
This is, in short, the definitive diagnosis of what Sturgis is and its place in the American psyche.
Diagnosing Sturgis Examining the Annual Black Hills Motorcycle Rally eBook Chil Scoggin
This delightful novella discusses the annual ingathering of motorcycles at Sturgis South Dakota. Scoggin's perspective is that of a sophisticated, highly educated,occasionally cynical, physician who treats his views on health of those gathered. But he takes pains to avoid acting superior to the assembled amalgam of white folks who come to Sturgis each year in August to have a heck a good time.They succeed in most cases. The Black Hills of South Dakota are unique among Western tourism spots ranging from the Mount Rushmore to gambling casinos, to every kind of junk food America produces, to a place of great inspiration to outstanding landscape artists, and to scholars who study the inglorious chapters US history when invading colonists horrendously won battles with the Indigenous Americans they encountered. Try to follow Scogin's attitude adjustments so you can have a good time in Sturgis, too. But beware of the price you may pay. I stayed at the fancy hotel with an attached casino in Deadwood and still itch when I think of my bedbug bites.Product details

Diagnosing Sturgis Examining the Annual Black Hills Motorcycle Rally eBook Chil Scoggin Reviews
An exceptionally entertaining book written from the novel perspective of a physician who thinks about "health", and who also has a wealth of historical knowledge of the west. The story moves well, and at the end I realized how much history had been woven into the story, as well as bits of philosophy. Quick & enjoyable read...
Great!
Enjoyed it a great deal. A whimsical melding of health care, risk taking and second chances today and in the old west.
Creative, entertaining with a whole new twist on the this social phenomenon. A quick, fun read that will cause to you look at those middle aged Sturgis pilgrims differently from now on. A bit of history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy and wit all rolled into one fun read.
