Product Description

The magnificent aura, change, expression, and personality of this multi-faceted event can best be seen through the eyes of someone who has been there through the years, and this book paints the perfect picture of everything that has been and still is The Sturgis Rally. , Over twenty years of photography from the world's greatest motorcycle rally, Packed with photos that are featured at art and museum galleries around the world, Succinct text highlights the world of Sturgis and what the event represents to the motorcycle community

michael (a GREAT photographer) September 13, 2008
what a great price I got this wonderful book for. This is seriously worth putting on your coffee table. The raw realness behind these photos shows the real life of bikers, sturgis, and the lifestyle that is being a biker. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves motorcycles (and the REAL kind, not those crotch rocket p.o.s.'s)
I've GOT to order another copy for my grandfather for Christmas.

I have yet to visit South Dakota and the Sturgis rally, yet I can console myself with Michael Lichter's wild and beautiful photography. Dave Nichols, the Editor of Easyrider, writes a snappy intro that expresses how close to the edge Lichter goes to capture a powerful image and the photos reflect that wild dangerous edge as do some of the people pictured...and of course these are my favorite photos! The "just married" image which is a posterior shot of both the bike and the couple is juxtaposed with sheer perfection -- the young woman's stunning body and the gritty image of the beer cans attached to the bike. You can almost hear the rumble of the bike and the beer cans banging against pavement in celebration of their biker union and this is just one of many standouts. The bikes and the people are more unusual than what you see on the Discovery Channel. Bottom line...If you can't get to Sturgis, South Dakota, this book rocks and if you have been there, you still want this book because it documents 20 years of a very wild ride, gritty, wonderful crazy people, and beautiful American countryside.
Perfect gift for a Sturgis fan December 3, 2004

When I was Christmas shopping I decided to buy this book as a gift for myself. It may be the best gift I get this year. I've been to Sturgis almost every year since 1980, which is just about the period this book covers. I've seen all the changes Michael Lichter's photos cover. Michael Lichter is a true biker, and it shows in his photography. He loves motorcycles, he loves bikers, and he loves the Sturgis rally. That is clear in every page of this book.
