75 Spearfish Canyon

$150.00


Having attended Sturgis for over 25 consecutive years, Eric has put on some miles in the Black Hills. One of his favorite rides is the beautiful "Spearfish Canyon". Eric also exhibits his art at Cheyenne Crossing, the top entrance to Spearfish Canyon.

I've ridden through the canyon on both road and dirt bikes. We've hiked, fished, and rock climbed here. I've run across wild life and paw prints so large, I've turned around. Over the years we've collected all the forest service maps, elevations, and know the fire roads. I live in this canyon 2-3 weeks a year, states Eric.

Armed with all his reference material, Eric set out to make a representation of the twenty mile canyon that has over fifty twist and turns for motorcyclists. 75 motorcycles to be exact. Representing the 75th Anniversary of this historic event. Many of Eric's motorcycle references are from experience and the people he has met in the canyon. You'll find burnouts, riders riding no-handed, wheelies, and biker fun throughout. Following is a list of notable points of interest, animals and vehicles:
