Sturgis Tapestries
Description: The Black Hills Motor Classic, aka Sturgis Rally, is a motorcycle rally held annually in Sturgis, South Dakota, and the surrounding Black Hills region. It was founded in 1938 by a group of motorcycle riders and originally focused on stunts and races. Over the years, the rally has become a pluralistic endeavor that consists of events put on by many different groups ranging from road trips and races to concerts and parties. 1994 was the event’s 54th anniversary, and before you whip out the calculator, several years during WWII were canceled due to gas rationing. From the original nine riders in 1938, attendance in the modern era has historically been around 500,000 people, so needless to say the event is still going strong.

Description: At Mardi Gras, you exchange beads for a quick flash of flesh, but in biker culture, you kindly ask the ladies to dump 'em out and they frequently oblige. Of course, this doesn't work very often outside of biker events and gatherings, but who knows, wearing this rather innocuous shirt may be the key to getting an eyeful next time you're in the grocery store?

Description: Choppers aren't just a style of motorcycle, but a movement. These bikes were always about art and engineering coupled with the American traits of freedom, individuality, and attitude. The chopper craze has several key phases, some better than others, and it continues to be just as strong today. Mainstream films like 'Easy Rider' in the late '60s and early '70s propelled choppers into the greater consciousness that had everyone wanting (or secretly wanting) a styled out bike with a set of long forks to cruise the open roads of America and many made it happen... keep on jammin'
