There is a large sign for the Buffalo Chip, one of the popular campgrounds for the Sturgis motorcycle rally. You can see it on a hill to the left from Route 79 where it turns right and goes into Sturgis. The campground also has a huge motorcycle motor near the entrance. It's wild to see pictures of it during the rally based on what the place looks like empty.
