My husband and I rode there and rode home from and to GEORGIA ... TWICE! The first year was 2008 and we had this same issue ... hailstorm. We parked at the drivethru of a bank in Rapid City for cover!
It's a Toyota FJ cruiser, well that's what we call them in Australia. He looks to have a HD and a trike in that trailer, on one very frail looking hitch connection to the car. It would be snapped off on Australian roads with so much neck length.
Just rewatched the video the gold coloured cruiser is a Chrysler PT cruiser for sure I didn't notice the trailer on behind it the first time, the black one at the end towing a trailer is a Toyota FJ cruiser.
I do not think we should worry about it. Animals are part of nature, they know how to lead in similar situations. I think that they anticipated this storm and are already in safe places.
I was at that very gas station . In 2012 during a bad hail storm...got cought in it for a few miles tho. Nothing you can do but put ur head down and hope you find cover fast...
fun fact: sturgis sd is actually in “hail alley” just like wyoming, so if you live or visit in sd or wyoming in the summer PLAN TRIPS ACCORDINGLY! ive visited both states before and nearly lost a car to hail! thankfully im a mechanic so repairs werent insanely hard but still!
Sturgis and Harley Davidson will go down with our generation. These millennials don't care about bikes, Jeeps, ATV's. Give them a new iphone every year and they're happy. We're having trouble recruiting young people into heavy equipment operation even though it pays 6 figures with no college.
Yup. SD has insane weather. Remember one year we were there for biker rally and mom and i were in Lead at hotel a monster storm came through then we go outside and a huge mudslide came down right through town. Insane weather for sure
Well that sounds like the hail that hit my property in 2006 - the damage was I need two new roofs - on the house and garage and 2 new windows. It sounded like rocks were hitting my house and it was terrifying.
maybe one day cars will have shield like the ones we watch on sci fi movie lol...when the shield get hit by hails or other stuff, it will deplete but it will regenerate slowly back to full capacity.
That was nice and easier to watch when you slowed the camera movements at about 4 minutes. makes me feel good to be watching this nice and dry inside my house.
Just an average summer day in the black hills,lived here all my life.my bones tell me if it's going to hail.havent got hailed on for all most 30 years.
Hail, Hail, the gang's all here. Hail-o, it's me, after all-Adele or Todd Rundreg, two different songs Hail-o, is it me you lookin for-Lionel Richie Hail-o Hail-o, don't don't why ya say goodbye I say hail-lo-Beatles
I suppose the hailstone hits really hard. Would not want to get caught in that hail of hailstone. I have seen it shatter the windscreen. But love watching it. The place is flooding with it.
Birthpains upon this earth is getting more stronger an frequent as time goes bye. Put your faith in Jesus surrender your life to God Almighty. He created the heavens an the earth an will not stand by an just allow wickedness to increase an not judge those who want to do evil. Accept Yeshua today as your Savior.
Here in Austria we invest in Planes that spray some chemical mixture into the air that makes hail smaller and less freezable, this means more rain and flooding, yet little to no Hail Damage.
Plan of action if you are at home and your car is there to.....Grab all your bedding sheets & thick quilts......cover your car as fast as you can with the bedding, hopefully your car will survive the attack, bedding can be dried out, whereas dozens of dints won't buff out.
OMG, WoW !! I agree helmet time . Now What does it feel like to be hit on the head with Hail ?? In storms like this, there isn't enough parking... That is 1 heck of a storm !
Its heartbreaking when you know the price of the bikes thats getting damaged...i would have pulled mine into the damn store or something...i be damned if I'm gonna let mine get messed up by hail...
This is why a biker should have a heavy Indian blanket rolled up tied to his bike... unroll it and put it over the bike tank and fender...stop the dents!
In 2000 sturgis got eight inches of hail. Belfouch SD had softball size hail. There was a lot of work around there that year. Dam i miss the Black Hills

daniel bean He is in a douche bag for parking there it’s not his fault nor anybody else that he happen to get there first it’s not like it’s reserved for him
I was there along with 50 or 60 others at the McDonald's on the outside of town we got lucky only pea size hail there main part of town got softball size hail major damage that year (09)
Man I love weather & Mother Nature!! I just find it all so fascinating & how these things come together to make this or that. I mean, hail the size of anything as small as pebbles up to what baseball, or bigger? That's just amazing that that can form up there & just start raining down on us. I don't want to feel it or have anyone hurt or homes, cars ruined....i just find it cool from a scientific standpoint n
All y'all have to do have your very own really bad wicked storm is get your motorcycle out of the garage for a few seconds and go 4 a ride. By the time ya leave your driveway all hell will break loose... At least it seems that way here where I live now days.
