The last time that I was in Sturgis, quite
by accident, I caught The Horse Backstreet Choppers Bike Show at The Full
Throttle Saloon. At the time I didn't know what The Horse Backstreet
Choppers Show was all about, I just knew that these bikes were not the
pro-built, cookie cutter, fat tired, skull encrusted, chrome dipped, super
expensive bikes that were all in vogue at the time and I liked 'em!
These bikes showed ingenuity and personal style. They could be built by almost anyone with some mechanical skill and on a very tight budget. But imagination and vision is the essence and attraction of these bikes.
Now two years later I know a lot more about The Horse Backstreet Choppers, having been to The Smoke Out and running Stampede 7. So the first thing I did when I got to Sturgis was head for The Horse Backstreet Choppers Bike Show.
It's great show and, I think, a chance to see the direction of custom motorcycles in the future.
