STURGIS JUMP EVENT, Sturgis bike week from Friday August 5th through Saturday August 13th 2011.

Trigger Gumm, (motorcycle daredevil) has a contract to jump at Sturgis bike week from Friday August 5th through Saturday August 13th 2011. Each day of the rally there will be bike jumps as well as record jumps performed by him on motorcycles. .Trigger has retained Rod and Rusty at Illusiion Motorsports to build a modified HD Sporster for the purpose of breaking the distance jump record on a Harley. The Illusion build team will build the bike at their facility in Westminster, Ca, between now and August 2011. In August Illusion will bring the motorcycle to Sturgis, SD.


Illusion will be modifying one or two HD Sportster motorcycles, changing the suspension, beefing up the frame, and installing XR750 style HD gas tank and fenders to look similar to the bikes Evel Kienevel used to jump with. The paint scheme will be Evels White with the stars and stripes. This will be a highly publicised event with attendance at the campground estimated at 10,000-30,000. This event is the 2nd biggest in the nation annually. Every type of media will be there. The record jump on our Illusion built Harley Davidson will be at midnight right after the Rolling Stones finish their set on the main stage.

History of Buffalo Chip - First Sturgis Campground

The Buffalo Chip Campground, the first biker campground anywhere, came into existence back when Sturgis camping was all in the Sturgis City Park, and was about to be closed by city officials with efforts to eliminate the Sturgis motorcycle gathering. The Sturgis rally was then estimated to have attendance of fewer than 20,000. In 2011, the Sturgis officials estimate the Sturgis Rally attendance will again be approximately half million bikers. Congratulations to the Sturgis Rally bikers and biker babes for keeping the rally alive.
