THE FIRST 30 YEARS
a book review by Buck Lovell
This biker history book has a special place in my personal library. If you’re a regular visitor to the world famous Buffalo Chip Camp-ground East of Sturgis South Dakota, you’ve experienced the excitement, the fun, the camaraderie that a gathering of thousands upon thousands of bikers generate when partying together at a venue such as the Chip. The annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally would not be the universally popular event it is today without the Chip! The Chip? That’s what the campground, entertainment, party place is known as world wide. The Buffalo Chip is nothing short of an annual obligatory Mecca for any self respecting American biker. Doris Power Lauing’s book is loaded with photos and historical information depicting the ascendance of the Buffalo Chip from the beginning when campers set up their tents in what waAs just an ordinary piece of prairie, to today’s loud and rowdy party destination. Those early biker/campers had just as much fun as today’s bikers, as seen on the 195 pages of the “First 30 Years,” the scale was just a tad smaller. The book includes hundreds of time sequenced Buffalo Chip archive photos provided by Rod Woodruff and the Buffalo Chip on-site photographer Aaron Packard, which take the reader through a viewable time warp depicting 30 years of biker fun and friendship. This book will keep regular Buffalo Chip bikers company through the long winter wait until the next Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Throw it down on your coffee table, it is safe viewing for all ages. I give this book a hearty thumbs up for bikers….you don’t even need to know how to read…..just look at the pictures!
