Custom Motorcycle Builders Mix With Fans At Exclusive Charity Breakfast

The Buffalo Chip hosts Stars of “Motorcycles As Art” Exhibition

Join renowned U.S. and international custom builders and industry luminaries for a Meet & Greet breakfast to benefit Tech Ed scholarships. Builders whose work is displayed in the Buffalo Chip’s 2016 Motorcycles As Art Exhibition, curated by Michael Lichter, will gather one time only along with other invited top-name builders to shake hands, sign autographs and pose for pictures with fans and friends.

Ticket holders also enjoy a catered breakfast and a silent auction of selected items autographed by the builders—plus the chance to meet the Chip’s own Rod “Woody” Woodruff, Photographer Michael Lichter, and special surprise guests, too. Editor Chris Callen of Cycle Source, the official magazine of the Flying Piston Breakfast, will be on hand as well.

Presented in a gallery-like setting at the Chip’s Russ Brown Event Center, the motorcycles are surrounded by artwork from both known and emerging artists in the genre, including a special tribute this year to Richie Pan Panarra. Motorcycles As Art is open August 6-12 from 2 to 10 p.m. daily.
