Welcome Sign:

Welcome to
[An Indian on horse back slightly trailing his riding partners, a cowboy on horse back and a rider on a motorcycle]
LegendarySturgis
City of Riders

The image is understandable, the Indian, because for 10,000 years this was the Lakota, and other Nations main Buffalo Hunting grounds, the cowboys, who came later, and is still here raising beef cattle and sheep. And, yes, the dude on a motorcycle, for the last 75 years(it started with a race), motorcycle riders (and bikers) hav3e been gathering here to ride the great roads, and visit the amazing sites and events.

When I visited Sturgis (8-2 thru 8-9 2015) last I took a shot of this sign. The Chief of Police was doing a photo shoot, and I got one of him (actually his bike) in front of the sign.
The eastern sign is totally different.
This sign is becoming a "landmark" and a "Kodak Moment". Many seek it out to get a shot to prove you really was at a Sturgis Rally.

You can see highlights of both signs in the City of Sturgis header on their web site.
