So you have a badass bike, eh? The Chop Meet is going to have a free bike show format unlike and other we've attended. To start with, the trophies rule. Check out these super-awesome cast trophies made by Chopper Dave. It's a license plate topper that we are going to pound classes, etc into with letter punches. (ie: Shovel, 1st Place) These are going to be worth bragging about so get off the internet and finish up that damn bike!
Chris Collins is in charge of the bike show. It does not cost any money to enter. Each class has a 1st and 2nd place award. These judges are secret so you can't offer to bribe them for a trophy. Obviously there are grey areas on what bikes are considered what. It will be based on the cases and will be at the judges discretion. Here are the classes;
• Knuckles & Flatheads
• Panheads
• Shovels
• Sportsters
• Evo BT's and later
• European
• Japanese
Then there are five Big Shot Judges Choice awards that can be any bike, it's all up to them. These judges are;
• Chopper Dave
• Mike Vallely from Revolution Mother
• Matt & Dean from DicE magazine
• Kutty Notebloom from Hippy Killer Garage
• Street Chopper magazine Editor's Choice
• One special guest judge to be announced the day of the show
This thing is heating up so get your act together and make plans!
Reason for Being...
If you can't wait till July to get your fix of vintage iron and hand-built motorcycles, take a look at this small sample of machines that inspire all of us to ride and customize our bikes in the first place. There will be about 2,000 more motorcycles just like these at the Chop Meet on July 19, so enjoy.
