Cyril Huze Blog – World's Number One Source For Custom Motorcycle News

For 16 years world-famous photographer Michael Lichter has curated motorcycle exhibits at the Buffalo Chip art gallery. Motorcycles from the best and upcoming great custom builders whose woks are not only visual pieces of art but also engineering masterpieces. This year, 34 of these builders have accepted the challenge to build a bike befitting the theme “Skin and Bones”. In addition to these builders showing their bikes on pedestals lit with theater lighting inside the 7,000 ft exhibition hall, tattoo artists display their art ending up as ink on flesh or paint and engraving on motorcycles.

This must-see “Motorcycles As Art Exhibit” is free to the public and located near the east gate at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip: Russ Brown Events Center, from Sunday August 7 to Friday August 12, from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.  So don’t miss your chance to see one of the finest and most comprehensive industry collections of custom motorcycles ever assembled during the Sturgis Rally. A few shots of these customs shot before and during the industry grand opening party last Sunday evening, August 7.
