The Sturgis Buffalo Chip has announced that with 10 days until the 72nd Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, only a few spots remain for the Sturgis Buffalo Chip’s Legends Ride, the annual ride that kicks off the Rally. The Legends Ride on Monday, August 6, pairs Rally-goers with celebrities and top-bike builders on a 55-mile scenic, escorted ride from historic Deadwood to the Sturgis Buffalo Chip, and the 5th annual Ride is on the verge of its fifth consecutive sellout.

“In just four short years the Legends Ride has found a place on the bucket list of Rally riders. Not only is it a great ride with industry leaders and celebrities, it’s also for a great cause,” said George Milos, executive director of the Deadwood Chamber of Commerce. “There’s no better way to kick off the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.”
The Legends Ride begins on Deadwood’s famed Main Street as the Silverado-Franklin and the Deadwood Tobacco Company roll out the red carpet for motorcyclists from around the world. Riders will revel in the unique atmosphere of this Wild West town as they celebrate a day with celebrities, builders, artists and cigar aficionados and be immortalized in a special group photo by renowned motorcycle photographer Michael Lichter. The 500-plus riders and passengers will then head on a 55-mile route through some of the Black Hills’ most beautiful landscapes via pristine stretches of asphalt.
“Bikers are a generous lot, the Legends Ride being proof positive,” said Rod Woodruff, owner of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. “The Ride assembles industry leaders, generous sponsors and civic-minded riders; a perfect formula for a highly successful event.”
