CUSTOMBIKE-SHOW Biker-Build-OFF with Arno Kruth & Sergio Bayarri
For the tenth time, customizers and motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the world meet at the CUSTOM BIKE SHOW in East Westphalia Bad Salzuflen.
From the December 5 to 7, 2014 almost 1000 customized machines will be on display in the four exhibition halls and more than 300 companies will be presenting everything to do with customizing motorcycles in the 28,000 square metres of exhibition space.
The final of the International German Custom Bike Building Championship will be spectacular, with over 300 participants competing with their unique bikes for titles and trophies in 18 categories.
The supporting program guarantees the best entertainment: Henny Kroeze and his team will race down the steep face with breakneck manoeuvres. Other attractions, such as bodypainting demonstrations, the election of the Miss CUSTOMBIKE, Motorcycle world premieres, the Build-Da-Fukker-Contest, numerous Custombike presentations and much more, round off the varied show program.
The European Biker Build-Off is one of the highlights of the CUSTOMBIKE-SHOW.
Since 2007, two teams from different nations have been competing against each other with one show bike each. This time, Sergio Bayarri (Sbay Motor Company/Spain) and Bill Dodge (Bling Cycles/USA) and set up their bikes live in front of the public during the three days of the trade fair.
Ten days before the start of the trade fair, the bad news: the parts for Bill's Panhead are stuck at customs in Orlando - with no prospect of being released in time. However, an adequate replacement was found within a very short space of time: North German Harley specialist Arno Kruth from Toxic-Bikes stepped into the breach and will start building a custom Harley with his crew just in time for the start of the trade fair.
Respekt, denn sein Kontrahent aus Spanien konnte schon einige namhafte Preise auf europäischer Ebene gewinnen und hatte mehrere Monate Zeit, sich auf den Biker Build-Off vorzubereiten. Man darf gespannt sein …
Spannend wird es aber nicht nur für die Motorradbauer, sondern auch für die Besucher. An den drei Messetagen werden exklusive Preise im Gesamtwert von über 25.000 Euro verlost. Zu gewinnen gibt es am Freitag unter anderem eine neuntägige Motorrad-Reise in die USA, am Samstag eine Yamaha XV950R und am Sonntag eine Harley-Davidson Sportster XL883N Iron.
The big anniversary after-show party will take place on Saturday, December 6th at the Kurhaus Bad Salzuflen: With numerous live acts and strip shows, the CUSTOMBIKE visitors will really heat up! But if you would like to celebrate with us on Friday, you are cordially invited to raise a glass with the TATTOO-EROTICA models to the 10th anniversary of the successful TATTOO-EROTICA magazine.
