RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) - Motorcycles were on display at Deadwood Mountain Grand Saturday, May 25, for the second annual Black Hills Motorcycle Show.

Each bike was uniquely modified and customized by its owner. A best-in-show award was at stake: the owner of the chosen motorcycle left the show with an extra $1,000.

Several motorcycle enthusiasts attended, including Biker Build-Off star Cory Ness, custom designers, and vendors.

“The quality of bikes and the amount of people that are here, it went above my expectations of the show,” Christine Le Pera, vice president of custom design company Le Pera Seats, said. “I’m sure that, year by year, it’s just going to grow.”

The Black Hills Motorcycle Show is expected to return to Deadwood in 2025.
