My experience...
I went to Sturgis in '04. Left home on Monday and arrived in Sturgis on Thursday. With the ammount of bikes and trailers I saw going the other way, I thought I'd be the only one around by the time I got there. Yeah, right.
I'm sure I missed some stuff, but I got plenty of the Sturgis experience the last few days of the rally. I actually am glad I showed up mid week because I had the days to experience the actual rally, but I was also able to stay a few extra days and do alot of the sight-seeing without the usual biker deluge, not that I would have really minded, but it was just nice basically being on my own.
I don't think you'll miss too much of the experience by arriving on Wednesday, and if you can stay past Sunday, you'll have a great time riding the roads and seeing the sights with a little less traffic.
However you do it, you'll have a ball.
