It was worth the ride from Texas (where I live). I also want to say that Michael's Crocker concept bike that debuted last year BLEW ME AWAY. Everyone, and I mean everyone (even the Italian superbike guys) were astounded. The Crockers guys in Canada have serious vision but are also rooted strongly to history. Good on you Michael. Keep up the great work! I totally agree with Michael Schacht, that Legend of the Motorcycle is incredible. It was worth the ride from Texas (where I live).

There were many, many amazing bikes there. My camera dies before I was 1/3 of the way through the show, but I have some pictures on flicker here: http://www.flickr.com/gp/48876220@N00/2oeP3L Joe Crime Scene Choppers Cyril,

You won some bling bling and want your name here. Right? I understand. but why no other site publish the winners? Send a picture of your bike to Cyril. Maybe he will publish it. This show in california, I want to go to see all these antiques. $50? A little bit expensive. . Hey, Watcher. You won some bling bling and want your name here. Right?

You are confused. I don't compete in the Rats Hole with my bikes since more than 10 years. Of course, my clients can compete with my bikes if they want. And if they win, why I would not say it? I was not present at the Rat's Hole Show because of other professional obligations. I even don't know if any bike I built was there. I don't know the winners. So, I can't report until I get info. I am not the organizer of the show. So, why do you think I am required to publish the winners list? Even the Rat's Hole website has never published the winners list of any of their shows. I will publish it, as a service, if and when it's transmitted to me. It's not yet. You can always make your request directly to <a href="http://www.ratshole.com" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">http://www.ratshole.com</a>. It is obvious that you want your name published in my Blog, and it will be if I get this list. </p> Watcher. You are confused. I don’t compete in the Rats Hole with my bikes since more than 10 years.

Did any of the bikes you built place this year. You did a nice advertisment for your bikes when two of them placed in the bobber class last year. Because you did not have any comment on the show after it was over I put my comments here. Can we get a list of winners and maybe a few thoughts on them. Watcher Cyril,
