"58th Annual Grand National Roadster Show - Motorcycle"
This issue I want to report about Motorcycle seen at the 58th Grand National Roadster Show (GNRS). 58th means since 1949, makes you think How America is great with ability to do event like this right after the war. YOKOHAMA HOT ROD Custom Show (HCS) has only just finished its 15th and compared to that GNSR has the long 58 years of history.
This events Top Award is America's Most Beautiful Motorcycle Award (AMBMC) & Hot Rod (AMBHR). I was busy packing to leave from the show so I couldn't see who won the AMBMC Top Award.
But in Bobber Class, Gregg Coddington (Boyd Coddington' son) won the 1st place with his HD, and second was HD made by Cole Foster and third place was Chopper Dave. So from 1st to the 3rd places were taken by them.
I personally like the Old Style Chopper which Scott Craig has made, but he was not awarded this time. Scott's HD was not even finished when it came to HCS but now its all finish even the details.
It's great to see this kind of Old Chopper increasing.
Shifters had Triumph Drag Bike with cool square rear tire displayed at booth. There were many other HD on displayed but will introduce some I thought it was interesting.
With effect of DicE Magazine, the Triumph is getting popular now but sadly only one entry there.
Of course Mr. Chica of Chica Custom Cycles was there too. Looks like he is going to be busy again with TV appearance on this year too.
Take a look at this Kidney Bean Wheel which looks very much like Speed Master Wheel. MOON Puke Tank is also used as Oil Tank.
Like them, MOON Tanks can be specially ordered to fit your needs. Please ask us about special order when you have an idea.
On next week I think I can report end about AMBHR and total show. Please look forward to it! |
