The Sturgis Buffalo Chip® welcomes the legendary band ZZ Top as the first act confirming their appearance at the annual musical festival set for August 2 -11, 2013 during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member ZZ Top, a long time favorite with campers and concert goers at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip®, will be part of what is expected to be one of the best line ups to date at the 2013 Sturgis Buffalo Chip® camping resort and music festival.  More 2013 band announcements are coming soon from some of the biggest names in music. Early Specials for the best value on camping reservations and concert passes are available now at www.BuffaloChip.com.

ZZ Top formed in Houston in 1969. Known as “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas,” ZZ Top has the honor of being one of the longest running major rock bands with all original members, Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, still making it happen. With their unmistakable mix of rock, blues and down home boogie sound, ZZ Top has sold millions of albums over their 40 plus year career. The ZZ Top boys are also known for their love of hot rods and custom motorcycles.

“The Chip crowd loves ZZ Top and they have put on some amazing shows here,” says Buffalo Chip® owner Rod Woodruff. “It is a great to open up our 2013 line up with such a fan favorite as ZZ Top. We expect 2013 is going to be another record breaking year at the Buffalo Chip.”

ZZ Top holds several impressive chart and album sales feats, including six number one singles, 4 gold, 3 platinum, and 2 multi-platinum album certifications, in addition to one diamond album. Many of their songs have gone on to reach classic rock immortality. In August of 2013 Sturgis Buffalo Chip® campers and concert goers can look forward to hearing some of ZZ Tops chart toping hits such as ”Sharp Dressed Man,” “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” “Legs,” “Cheap Sunglasses,” “Tush” and “La Grange.”

The Legendary Buffalo Chip has been offering its guests the true Sturgis experience for more than 30 years with its premium camping resort and world class entertainment.

The eCaddy Ball Motorcycle Mount might just be the simplest, most classy way to mount your GPS on a Motorcycle!

 It works with any GPS that has a 17mm ball “receiver” either on the back of the GPS itself or an adapter plate that attaches to the GPS (often received in the GPS kit). This is a common design in Garmin Nuvi, Magellan and other GPS models. Just snap the GPS directly onto the ball mount. The GPS rotates/tilts just as it does in your car!

The faceted lug on the stem gives you six mounting options to choose from, and the base bracket includes UltraSecurity and anti-vibration features.

All parts are made to last in the USA. No plastic parts, no scratched bars!
