Fred Kodlin inducted into the Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame!
Honor where honor is due: On August 11, 2021, master customizer Fred Kodlin was honored to become a member of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in Sturgis.
This is a special honor for everyone in the motorcycle scene, but especially for customizers, not to mention that Fred Kodlin is the first German and international customizer (added in 2003: Gottlieb Daimler...) to make it into the Hall of Fame at the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum on the legendary Sturgis Main Street.
Every year, the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame nominates a number of well-known personalities from the motorcycle world, who are then given a place of honor in the museum's gallery. Each recipient receives a ring made especially for him or her, which is presented at a ceremony during a breakfast in Deadwood, South Dakota.
It goes without saying that this honor is not without its difficulties in the age of COVID-19: despite the existence of the Kodlin branch Kodlin USA (kodlinusa.com) in Morgan Hill, California, entry into the US required special permission from the governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem.
Fred and his team then began their Sturgis ride in the traditional manner from the west coast of California, together with members of the „Hamsters“ motorcycle club, who roll into Sturgis on two wheels from all directions every year. After several days on tour, Fred and his team were not only able to experience the rally itself without limits, but also receive an award for his work. Congratulations!
