"Easyriders V-Twin Bike Show Tour 2007"
On Saturday and Sunday January 6th & 7th, went to the "Easyriders V-Twin Bike Show Tour 2007" at Pomona, California.
I went early on Saturday morning but security check (for knife and other material like in airport) took more than 30 minutes to enter the show. It is understandable to take time for security at show. Safety first. It's important. This show space is same as Grand National Roadster Show in 3 weeks time. Every hall is used on car show but this show used just one hall.
Inside show space it was like HCS 2005, packed full by motorcycle and vender booth, Too tight to even walk if there were many people came to see the show at once. In the morning its was still free to walk around but in the after noon it was hard to walk. There were many vendor booth, with all goods like leather goods, bandana, helmet and really showing the product line up for bikers event.
Recent car and bike shows in California has young pinstripers showing pinstriping at booth like in shows in Japan. Back in the days, it was hard to find where to go to get pinstriping done but now its easy to find.
The two HD that came to HCS 2006 and got back to Long Beach on 3rd of January were displayed at Indian Larry Legacy's booth and its relieving to see it came back safe.
This time I was impressed by the LA "Super Co. Customs" who was on interview of Garage Magazine.
Specially this 1950 Indian Chief is amazing. This Super CO. Customs has originally from Low Rider side but its fun to see this HD style with Low Rider taste.
HD Custom in USA has expanded its style and seems to not end expanding. This beautiful HD is also like so.
The "Chica Custom Cycles who always have booth at bike shows were there with Biker Build Off winner bike of 2006. HD with Japanese Rising Sun Flag has been accepted in USA bike scene because it was done by Chica. Its nice for people like us who does business in USA. Chica please keep it up for this year too, we are wishing all best.
There was NHRA Museum at next door with entrance at back so I went in which I haven't been in for while. There were Drag Race and Land Speed related historic race cars and material from old days with old car club jacket Helmet and more. Its plenty of things to see for even taking one whole day. There were mostly cars but some bikes were there too.
This is HD, Triumph is here and 2 of Japanese bikes. HONDA CB750 OHC valve cover is so cool that can't quite explain compare to Kawasaki. This big valve cover shows good balance on narrow frame.
Anyway, these Old Drag Bikes are crazy. In NHRA Museum there are two Fred Larsen's race cars displayed. Please visit NHRA Museum.
Lastly this Woody Bike was displayed at show too. |
