In 2013, the allure of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip® attracted the attention of numerous TV shows, including that of Velocity’s “Café Racer TV.” The show’s camera crews were on hand to document the Buffalo Chip’s annual Motorcycles As Art exhibition, curated by famed motorcycle photographer, Michael Lichter, and café racer expert, Paul D’Orleans. The hour-long special featuring this footage airs on Velocity on Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 10 p.m. ET.
It was no surprise that Café Racer TV was drawn to this year’s Motorcycles As Art exhibition, since the theme was “Ton Up! – Speed, Style and Café Racer Culture.” The exhibit explored the origins of the Café Racer movement by featuring 32 famous café racers and a collection of Lichter’s photography from the original café racing scene that had never before been published.

The Buffalo Chip’s groundbreaking Student Build Challenge is returning for its fifth year, and the question on everyone’s mind is, “How can the program possibly improve upon what it did last year?”
With the bar set high, the Buffalo Chip kicked off the 2014 Student Build Challenge on Tuesday, Nov. 26 with a press conference to answer this very question. The event introduced the public to this year’s group of enterprising student participants, as well as the teachers, administrators, mentors and sponsors who make the motorcycle project possible. Sturgis Brown High School principal, Jeff Simmons, kicked off the conference by announcing that this will be the first year the students will customize a brand new motorcycle—a 2014 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide.

A few weeks back, we asked fans of the Legendary Buffalo Chip Facebook page to choose what video we released next in our first ever Video Versus. The options were Miss Buffalo Chip highlights or the Legends Ride commemorative video, and we have to say, we were pretty surprised when you unanimously voted for the Legends Ride video!
The 2013 Legends Ride packed in more action and more celebrities than any previous year’s bike events. As a result, the annual Sturgis ride blew past previous attendance and fundraising records. We could talk about it all day, but to truly understand the insane amount of fun we packed into the 2013 Legends Ride, you’ll just have to watch this video!
