Limpnickie Lot Builders Join Sturgis Buffalo Chip Celebration

During the 2011 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, the Limpnickie Lot of custom bike builders will be creating their own FREE Limpnickie village with over 20 Limpnickie Lot motorcycle builders and a skateboard ramp in the free area, near the Buffalo Sculpture at the West Gate at Sturgis Buffalo Chip.




Tuesday, August 9th - The 5th Annual Cycle Source Magazine Black Hills Run will roll out at noon from the Limpnickie Lot village at Buffalo Chip.

Friday, August 12th - The Limpnickie Lot builders and Cycle Source Magazine present The Cycle Source Free Night Time Chopper Show. The bike show will feature 10 classes, free entry and prizes from Legends Air.

"We have watched what Chris and Taber have created over the last few years and feel like the Buffalo Chip is the perfect place for them to realize their fullest potential in Sturgis. We see this as a long-term partnership that will round out the world class attractions that the Buffalo Chip already offers," said Rod Woodruff, owner of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip.

"This new free area of the facility will be a combination of the laid back Limpnickie attitude and the world-class destination of the Chip," said Chris Callen, owner/editor of Cycle Source Magazine and co-owner of the Limpnickie Lot.

The Limpnickie Lot took the motorcycle industry by storm in March of 2008 during Daytona Bike Week when the original 11 Limpnickie Lot members took over the parking lot in front of the Stone Edge Skatepark. It was the first time young builders and small parts manufactures had joined together in an effort that would combine their passion for custom motorcycles and their cultural identifiers like skateboarding, punk rock and metal music. They had a successful week that changed the face of motorcycling and finally gave the rising next generation of motorcycle builders a united voice.

"We wanted to have our own kind of rally and found other like-minded next generation builders who shared our common interests. It has blown up over the last few years and we are really stoked to be at The Buffalo Chip this year," said Taber Nash, co-owner of Limpnickie Lot.

The Legendary Buffalo Chip will be celebrating "30 Years Strong" with a packed music lineup that includes Alice Cooper, Bachman Turner, Buckcherry, Charlie Brechtel Band, Edgar Winter, Def Leppard, George Thorogood & the Destroyers, Greg Allman, Jeff Bridges & Friends, Lukas Nelson, Lynrd Skynrd, Poison, Pop Evil, Puddle of Mudd, Saving Abel, Styx, Sweet Cyanide, Tesla, Toby Keith, and Williams & Ree.

By making appearances at several national and regional rallies throughout the year the group intends to bring as much attention to both this movement and their products as is possible.

 Also at the top of their goals is to take the whole motorcycle culture a step back to a more basic time.

BIKE RACES
The Daytona International Speedway has repaved the track. And the 2011 Daytona 200 Motorcycle Week will have a radical new look from season's past as Daytona International Speedway splits its two biggest races into back-to-back weekend events.


In recent years, the Daytona Supercross and Daytona 200 have been staged on consecutive days over the final days of 'Cycle Week on Friday and Saturday, or Saturday and Sunday. Now those two major motorcycle events will be held on different weekends during the traditional Bike Week time frame. The first weekend of activity will focus solely on the Supercross course, which will be carved into the infield grass dividing the tri-oval from pit road.

The Daytona Supercross, the birthplace of Supercross in the United States and the longest continuous Supercross event in America since 1971, will now kick off 'Cycle Week on Saturday night, March 5. The Daytona 200, a motorcycle race that has a history back to the 1930s, will be staged one a week later on March 12.

"Moving the Daytona 200 and Daytona Supercross to stand-alone weekends will further allow us to grow both events as well as the remainder of the March motorcycle schedule," Speedway president Joie Chitwood III said. "This new-look schedule gives motorcycle fans a better opportunity to enjoy all the different racing events that are showcased here."


The most historic, demanding and challenging Supercross event of the year, which has recently featured star riders such as Ryan Villopoto, James Stewart, Chad Reed, Kevin Windham and Andrew Short, this year served as the finale to the two-wheel racing program. For more information, call the Speedway at 800-748-7467.
