Sturgis or Bust, Deadbeat Customs builds a Sportster
I've been to Sturgis twice now, once on a Dyna and once in a Van. The first trip I rode out on my Dyna in 2011, the second trip vending for the 75th rally out of a van.
Ever since the second trip the talk has been we would return for the 80th and when we did return it would be on Choppers.....of sorts. So here it is, operation 80th riding back out to the Sturgis Rally on a Sporster. The first time we rode out it took 3-1/2 days, I was on my Dyna and my friend Larry was on a FXR. Hopefully doing it on a Sportster doesn't take an entire week.

Check out the video below to see the bike, it's a '93 1200:
