Comments on: The Horse Backstreet Choppers Announces Sturgis Bike Show http://www.cyrilhuzeblog.com/2008/04/16/the-horse-backstreet-choppers-announces-sturgis-bike-show/ World's Number One Source For Custom Motorcycle News Mon, 22 Mar 2010 10:38:24 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sandy http://www.cyrilhuzeblog.com/2008/04/16/the-horse-backstreet-choppers-announces-sturgis-bike-show/comment-page-1/#comment-103629 Sandy Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:42:35 +0000 http://www.cyrilhuzeblog.com/?p=1119#comment-103629 I think if someone claims to be a custom chopper builder, they need to show proof that they built and SOLD at least 3 "custom" bikes in the year prior, and maybe prove that these bikes are still on the road too. If these "contest" organizers use that as a formula, then I think we/they could get at least one or two more good judges. The industry is starting to take a bad turn because of the bullshitters and con-artists claiming to build custom bikes, and it's the really good reputable "real" custom builders who are being screwed.

Mines a little single cylinder, and bad as hell! They want me to pay 20 bucks to register for the show, and i have two bikes to go. 40 bucks is a lot of cash for “A lot of creativity without spending a ton of money” so if they want some REAL garage built by a hard working man bikes intheir show, they will waive the entry fee! If they cant waive the fee, maybe they will have to not hire so many celebrity judges next year? I dont know, well see how it goes! Visit me at the chopper undergound forum and see what im talking about. that place rocks! ibuiltmine-o1oo Ill be there with a part time- shed built bad ass chopper!

"A lot of creativity without spending a ton of money" sums up where most of Gen X and Y are. Cool, low budget, rideable scoots may yet save the industry over the long term.

I don't know any of the "celebrity" judges and I am sure they are fine people, but come on they are not celebrities. They are professional bike builders, some of which I am sure are even struggling in this market. Maybe next they will build a five star hotel for the celebrities to stay at while in Sturgis.
