  • Choppers at Junction and Main, Sturgis, SD, 1979<br />
<br />
Limited Edition Print from an edition of 50. Photo ©1979 Michael Lichter.<br />
<br />
Description: Where is everybody? The busiest corner in Sturgis on the busiest day of the rally. Rossini went on to create his famous tattoo parlor in the barber shop. While Rossini died in 2003 and the building was eventually scraped, but it’s still the best corner to watch the scene. Enough time has passed that the look has come back - the long front ends, metal flake, pull back bars, maybe just not the Honda chopper.

  • Heading South on Highway 85. Black Hills, SD. 1999<br />
<br />
Limited Edition Print from an edition of 50. Photo ©1999 Michael Lichter.<br />
<br />
The Story: Sunday morning, heading through the hills for the last ride of the week.  It's brisk out as you climb, the cool morning air energizing.  South of Deadwood, the road opens up into sweeping curves and you rock back and forth, accelerating out of each turn.  Moving forward, you know where you are going, but at the same time, you are lost in the wonderful journey.

  • Suzuki, President Solo Angels MC. Tijuana, Mexico. 1995 <br />
<br />
Limited Edition Print from an edition of 50. Photo ©1995 Michael Lichter.<br />
<br />
The Story: Suzuki liked the glorified hogs, but not the pretentious attitudes of the riders. Although he had none of the trappings of his fellow riders; no money, no Harley, and limited budget for food and drink, he rode along. His nature was different though. He was wild, enjoyed a good drunk and a fistfight. He chased the women, and wore his rags with pride. He soon tired of the Road Angels style and quit. Ultimately he started his own club the Solo Angels. He worked odd jobs for six years and saved for his first and last Harley. In 1968 Suzuki bought a used Sportster and built his first chopper. He raked the frame, extended the front-end, built a set of long upswept fishtails and mounted them to a tall and sharp as a knife sissybar. He dug up the first coffin gas tank to be seen south of the border, bolted on a set of tall buckhorn handlebars and got the most radical paint job in the city. He set the ramshackle town on fire every time he blew through. After almost thirty years, he's still straddling the same machine with his colors. It has been his one and only, his true love. <br />

<br />
The Story: Its unique - the Harley logo tattooed on arms, backs, tops of heads, and sensitive areas that don’t see the light of day. It's displayed like a badge of honor and seen as an exclusive club membership. There's a loyalty and pride of ownership that has brand managers at other companies green with envy.

<br />
The Story: Clarinda, Iowa is only a few hours from Humboldt so after the Freedom Rally, I stopped to visit Crud and his family.  They were all there when I arrived; his mom Mary, brother Gary (still in uniform from his job at the jail,) kids, in-laws and grandchildren.  We went out back under the large shade tree where it was cooler. Mary surrounded by her two sons, the 1%er and the jailer - She couldn’t be more proud.

Description: When I first got my “Property Of” buckle, I hated it.  I wasn’t going to wear it so it hung on the back of my chair for 3 weeks. I got the impression that this guy thought he owned me and controlled me but I knew I was a single, independent woman and I wasn’t anybody’s property.  My man wasn’t happy. I didn’t understand that it meant more to him to give me that Buckle than to give me a diamond ring. <br />
<br />
Eventually, I started getting to know more people and realized that if you wore the buckle, you were more respected by the brothers in the club.  It also provides protection, to a certain degree, because people realize you are with a club and they leave you alone.<br />
<br />
I have been wearing my buckle for almost six years now. I feel naked without it.  It’s a part of me and I wear it with pride.  <br />

Description: “Crazy Ace was one of those people that put tattooing on the map, he was a pioneer. He was one of the first artists, along with Mr. Tramp, that set up in Sturgis.  I owe him a lot; he always helped me out in the early days. There was always a place reserved for my studio in the back of his tattoo area somewhere on Main Street and he would always have a whole lot of girls lined up ready to be photographed when I got there.  He’s still an infamous tattoo artist and he’s a biker. He even had a full chrome plated Harley-Davidson, just about everything on it was chrome: gas tank, fenders, everything.  I met him through Mr. Tramp in Texas where he and Tramp were members of a bike club. At one time, he had a motorcycle and tattoo shop in Richmond, Virginia.  Then he started promoting some of the first tattoo conventions around.  He worked here in the States for years but for now, as far as North America is concerned, Crazy Ace is staying well north of the border in Canada where he’s a citizen.”<br />

The Story: Truck stops and cafes help me remember my travels.  The journey blends together in a swirl of images and memories but the truck stop is frozen in my mind. I put four gallons in the tank, park and go in for a chicken fried steak. The waitress’s twang and variations in the menu give me a flavor for the land.

The Story: An alternate lifestyle swept Sloopy into a legendary club of outlaws. Although, his lifestyle was raucous, violent, drug ridden and outside the law, he had his father's stability. During the most notorious days of his outlaw youth he worked a steady job for 12 years. Despite the drugs, the dealing, and the death of his father, he remained a stalwart member of his ever changing club for 32 years, only leaving for two years during the mid eighties. "They weren't listening or paying attention to the writing on the wall", Sloopy explained. Family ultimately saved him from the fate of many outlaw motorcyclists. His girl friend of 20 years and now his wife for half a decade, Rose, reined him in from the world of constant drug use before he self-destructed.

The Story: When Sportster John and Arlene married in Eldorado Springs, CO, the big question was would he still be “Sportster John” even though his bride surprised him with keys to a brand new “Wideglide.” As part of the festivities, we rode to the Little Bear in Evergreen but clouds moved in and we moved out.  The moniker lasted.  The marriage didn’t.
