This week’s topic: Riding the Beautiful Black Hills!
Bikers are one of the most caring and generous groups of people on the planet. So it’s no wonder that the home of the biggest biker party would also be home to some tremendous acts of humanitarianism. With help from its kind-hearted campers, the Buffalo Chip® is making a long-lasting positive impact on the community.
There has never been a shortage of worthy local causes in need, and The Chip® has always been eager to “Chip in” whenever possible. Throughout its 32-year history, the Buffalo Chip has proudly contributed to countless organizations. From a Habitat for Humanity house built at the Chip by bikers for a single mother in ’94 to lingerie auctioned for breast cancer research in 2012, the Sturgis Rally destination does not hesitate to express its care with creativity.
They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, so rather than bombard you with 10,000 words, here are 10 cool bike rally photos to feast on.

Catch the Sturgis Rally's only women's charity event and ride, the Biker Belles®, when exclusive footage airs on All Girls Garage, Saturday, Sept. 14. The Velocity television program, which features female mechanics repairing and upgrading classic automobiles and motorcycles, seemed like a natural fit for an event that celebrates women motorcycle riders.
In a previous episode of All Girls Garage, show host, Jessi Combs, added her personal customizations to a Softail Slim donated to Biker Belles by Bruce Rossmeyer's Daytona Harley Davidson. During the Sept. 14 episode, viewers can see footage of Jessi leading the ride through the scenic Black Hills, as well as the Biker Belles auction, which included the sale of this magnificent motorcycle.
By now, it's likely you've heard of the amazing outcome of Clint Ewing's daring world record attempt in the Tunnel of Fire. Despite his years of careful preparation, Clint's attempt at the mother of all motorcycle stunts was unsuccessful—an outcome that could have easily taken his life. So whether you chalked it up to coincidence, good luck or divine intervention, one thing was certain—seeing Clint Ewing walk away from the same motorcycle stunt that claimed the lives of others before him was nothing short of miraculous.
Although Clint survived his world record attempt on Daredevil Wednesday, he unfortunately did not come out unscathed. The motorcycle stunt rider sustained third degree burns on his hands and back. After being taken to a California burn treatment center, Clint received skin grafts from his legs to aid in the healing process. If all goes as planned, with the help of physical therapy the motorcycle daredevil should enjoy a full recovery by the end of this year.
