Sturgis Numbers Down, Sales Up

Most of the venders we spoke to at Sturgis are reporting that despite lower numbers of participants, their sales are up. Perhaps because of less congestion, customers can make better connection with the sellers. 
       The test rides sponsored by all of the major manufacturers such as Harley, Victory, Lehman and Star all seem to be very popular. 
       The weather has been cooler than year's past, with isolated thunderstorms that last a short time, just long enough to cool off the air, and temperatures are in the 80's for the most part.
