Sturgis Update: Day 2 @ World Championships
Day 2 in Sturgis - Hanging Out At Champions Hall
As the day continues more and more people have found their way into Champions Hall to experience the Official Championship of Custom Bike Building. Their response to the quality of the motorcycles on display has been overwhelming. The motorcycles themselves represent the finest in custom motorcycle building from around the world. From classic retro rides to the most cutting edge industrial and modern designs, these motorcycles are the finest to be found anywhere.
From Team Brass Balls - Brass Balls Bobbers Military Digger has received a lot of action from the crowds. It represents the arm services of America and is painted army green with splashes of vivid colors. It embodies an old skool look with state-of-the-art features.
The motorbike is built with some cutting edge components from Metzeler tires to Crime Scene lights and air cleaner. A unique piece of the build is an engine from Crazy Horse, which is called a V-Plus engine. The bike not only looks good, but with the V-Plus it runs like a scalded cat.
Kiwi Mike Tomas has brought his 20+ years of experience and unique brand of motorcycle building to both Champions Hall and Champions Park. On display inside the hall is Mike’s example of what he calls a Retro American Motorcycle, the Chieftain. The new motorcycle, built from Mike’s exclusive pieces, is a perfect example of integrating yesterday’s looks with today’s technology and reliability. The bike will be the basis of a new limited production line Mike will be producing from his Riverside, California shop. Outside the hall Mike and son Ross have been busy at their trailer keeping the public informed on their latest offerings including production motorcycles as well as their over 2,500 piece parts catalog.
A welcome addition to this year’s Championship Hall has been fine artist Stefanie Aziere-Sattler. Stefanie was selected by S&S Cycle to help commemorate their 50th Anniversary by creating one of a kind oil paintings that reflect the company’s beginnings and rich racing history. It was a natural extension for Stefanie to bring her gallery of motorcycle and hot rod inspired images for attendees to enjoy. Stefanie specializes in custom pieces for people looking for one-off creations of their favorite ride.
S&S Cycle, located on the South Western corner of Champions Park, is full of factory-trained personnel ready to help both the consumer and professional with technical questions regarding their latest products. Major interest regarding S&S’s X-Wedge engine program, as well as their electronic Fuel Injection, has been keeping the staff busy since early this morning.
