How to find it and yes, it’s free We really want you to find the compelling Motorcycles As Art Exhibition. As the preeminent custom motorcycle display in the country you owe it to yourself to spend an hour soaking up some moto-art and fabulous fabrication creativity. So, here’s the deal: The dedicated home for Motorcycles As Art is inside the Chip Event Center on the east side of the Buffalo Chip campground. You don’t have to pay to get into the Chip to visit the exhibition. The entrance to the Event Center is on 132nd Avenue, a road you can access on the north of the campground via Alkali Road, or on the south of the campground via 207th Street. The map here shows you how to follow Alkali road to the exhibit. If you’re a Chip camper, the Event Center is easy to find; it’s between the Hot Leathers store and zipline tower in the amphitheater. If you’re coming from I-90, navigate like a local and take the Pleasant Valley Road exit to new Ft. Meade Way. Follow that about 4 miles, turn right on 207th then left on 132nd. You’ll arrive without hassle or traffic. Saturday, August 5, 2017 Sturgis Rider Daily Page 13 Page 14 Sturgis Rider Daily Saturday, August 5, 2017 What could be more fun than a… Dirt Riot!
