The 72nd Sturgis Rally wraps up this weekend, and as always it's been a wild ride.

Last year, the estimated attendance was more than 416-thousand people.

Here's a look at Main Street Sturgis packed with motorcycles, vendors and of course bikers.

The Yesnick family traveled to Sturgis from their home in Saskatchewan Canada.

They have been riding to the Rally several years in a row and explain why they keep coming back.

"The people, the bikes, just everything." says Laurie Yesnick.

"I think it's pretty funny seeing some of the stuff that goes on." says Chelsey Yesnick.

The rally officially wraps up Sunday.
