The Legendary Buffalo Chip, Sturgis, SD, 2014 A group of vision-minded local residents, Sturgis Rally supporters, community leaders and ranchers are responding to the Meade County Commission’s efforts to provide vital access to I-90 by forming an alliance to help fund the construction of a 4.5-mile bikers’ scenic byway.

This motorcycle looks a rodeo of fun for any cowboy and cowgirl and I knew exactly who would want to test ride this bad boy with me. A friend of mine works at Cowboys strip club and loves to ride.  Low slung, muscular and dressed in black the Vaquero will challenge any outlaw Bagger to a gun fight.
