Made with our engineered Synthetic down, it has great puffy loft, and dries much quicker then down in case it ever gets wet. It also compresses down nice and tight just like down and unlike other synthetic sleeping bags or blankets."- Mike Fischer at Abel Brown

There have been motorcycles coming to the Black Hills of South Dakota for over eight decades to enjoy the scenic rides, the brotherhood of the sport, and the good times surrounding the Sturgis Rally. This year, it came down to the wire as the American Motorcycle Culture, and the industry that supported it started to get ready for the 80th running of Sturgis, it looked like it might not happen. In the end, the city of Sturgis voted to move forward with the rally but the questions loom, who will be there, what will it look like and how will this year add up in the history books of the Sturgis Rally. Join Cycle Source Magazine's Chris Callen, a 25-year veteran in the motorcycle media and events world, who has assembled a team of lifelong riders who also happen to be among the most prominent voices in the industry. Pat Jansen has represented some of the biggest names in motorcycling and, at the same time, has built bikes and cars under the name Sin Central Garage. Jack Schit has walked onto the biggest stages on the planet, to emcee some of the largest and longest-running motorcycle events. Together these three will not stop until every question is answered. Join us as we go through 180 minutes of discovery into a part of this great country that bore pioneers, outlaws, gamblers, and statesmen, and of course, became the epicenter of the motorcycle universe. This is Sturgis Live 2020, 80 Years In A Day.

All of this is possible through a partnership with FITE TV, the global network responsible for the recent Moto Fite Club, and Flat Track Fite Club Pay Per View events. FITE TV has a long and successful history in distributing Martial Arts & Boxing events with over 2.4 million registered users and is now expanding their programming to include motorsports. To reach the American motorcycle riders with programs tailored made for them, Source Media has been brought on as a content creator to provide several offerings from the Custom and touring Motorcycle Scene in The United States. With Grease & Gears Garage, Roadshow & A Few New Offerings coming up, added into special event programs like Sturgis Live, Source Media is confident that they will have no problem filling the segment for FITE. "I think the greatest thing about this is that we are at a time where we (lifetime riders) can finally be in control of programming like this and show people who and what exactly we are. Up until now, the image of naked drunk people getting arrested is what the general public thinks of when you say, Sturgis. This year we are going to change all that and express the metaphysical side that calls to the adventurous spirits that go back to the pioneers and settlers."

So how can you watch it? Anyone with Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, The Internet, or Smart TV can bring up FITE TV or go directly to our program at https://www.fite.tv/watch/sturgis-live-80-years-in-day/2p7s9/ and get in on the action. You can pre-purchase this program now on FITE TV for $14.99 or anytime up until Aug 19, 7:00 PM EDT when we go live, just days after the rally ends.
