  • Grudge Racing Near Bear Butte, Sturgis, SD. 1980<br />
<br />
Limited Edition Print from an edition of 50. Photo ©1980 Michael Lichter.<br />
<br />
Description:   No centerline on Highway 79 as the bikes burn rubber past Bear Butte. Crazy John gets the hole shot, and Happy Smith watches just a few feet to the right. A blown piston ends the fun, but at least I survive a high speed wobble racing back to town. No Broken Spoke, No Buffalo Chip, Can you imagine riding this section of road and not worrying about cops in every direction?

  • Blastoff, Hog Drags, Humboldt, IA. 1999<br />
<br />
Limited Edition Print from an edition of 50. Photo ©1999 Michael Lichter.<br />
<br />
The Story: They say piloting a top fuel bike feels like a rocket taking off. The heavy leather suit is pulled on and a titanium breastplate protects from possible disaster. The motor has been tuned, tested and tested again. At the starting line, pilot in the saddle, the crew goes through the checklist and the engine starts.  In an instant, it flies through space.

  • Lori Dalton Off the Line. Sturgis, SD. 1988<br />
<br />
Limited Edition Print from an edition of 50. Photo ©1988 Michael Lichter.<br />
<br />
The Story: I was impressed.  There was something about the way Lori sat so nimbly on her 500 pound Harley-Davidson, feet barely touching the ground with eyes peering ahead awaiting the green light.  With the crack of her wrist, she lifted the front end off the ground and drove the power to the back tire, twisting and contorting it as it gripped the asphalt to propel her down the strip.

  • Rodeo Ray, Grand Nationals Rodeo, Villejo, CA., 1991<br />
<br />
Limited Edition Print from an edition of 50. Photo ©1991 Michael Lichter.<br />
<br />
The Story: Ray is a big southern boy that loves to tell a good story.  He traveled the country on the rodeo circuit in an old motor home towing a rickety old trailer filled with trikes and motorcycle parts jutting out in every direction - a rolling junkyard with enough gems to keep his bikes running week after week. The crowd cheers as Ray blasts down the track on his monster trike, living for the fame that come with those seconds. The kids look up to him like a hero.  If he's lucky, he'll win a big silver belt buckle and enough cash to take him down the road to the next rodeo.

  • Nuclear Burn Out, Sturgis, South Dakota, 1988<br />
<br />
Limited Edition Print from an edition of 50. Photo ©1988 Michael Lichter.<br />
<br />
The Story: Being at the track is otherworldly.  I get in close as the tires burn out, the crack of the throttle exceeds what my eardrums can withstand and the rear tire pelts molten rubber all over me and my lenses. The nitro-methane makes me choke and my eyes flood with tears.  Add to this the hundred-degree temperatures and strong sun burning my skin. We love it and that’s why we keep going back for more.
