International Motorcycle Show in NYC
March 23rd, 2010
New York City’s biggest bike trade show, the International Motorcycle Show rode into the Jacob Javits Center in Midtown Manhattan this January. The IMS attracted all the big dogs, the small-timers, and everyone in between. This is primarily a trade show to display the newest bikes and cycle products to the general public. As might be expected in a commercial venue, the doings included a hip-hop act and dance crew, a fashion show, Tap-Out fighters, celebrity built bikes, tons of chrome, new factory production bikes, demonstrations, debuts, NY vendor style food, beer and lots and lots and lots of vests and patches. Throughout the 3 day event, a couple hundred thousand people made their way through the venue.

Fighter Fest 2009
January 9th, 2010
In its second year, Fighter Fest, has become the only bike show I look forward to attending each year. Sponsored by Karns Performance during Carlisle Bike Fest, FF is a show within a show. We have our own corner of the giant annual event with a few other un-categorizable bike companies, to do our fightering away from the usual show bikes. Walking through our small area there was about 50 of the baddest bikes in the US all together lined up for every enthusiast to examine and question. Packs of 20 fighters riding to and from the show together, had to be one of my favorite experiences. Looking over either shoulder during rides and seeing fighters that would stop me in my tracks anywhere else riding with me was truly the most enjoyable time on my bike of the year! For the most part, the weather was perfect, aside from a bit of rain on Friday. During the day, those at the show hung around under the tents, chatting with old and new friends alike. Faces and bikes were connected with screen names for the first time. Jokes were made, laughs were had, food was consumed, beer was drank, the only thing serious was the bikes!
Aussie Streetfighters’ April Fools Run Celebration
August 15th, 2009
CASINO, NSW, AUSTRALIA – Ever wanted to know what it takes to make a die-hard biker? You could have found out at AFR09 – the annual Australian streetfighters’ run.
Even the weather was die-hard…. appallingly so. The campsite was a virtual flood plain, and everyone got wet to the bone at least once. But did that stop them from coming? Hell it did! Riders from as far afield as Gladstone and Melbourne, who had ridden in pouring rain for the entire journey, were smiling like Cheshire cats.
The place was abuzz with non-stop stunt riding by Australia’s best riders, who use the event as their own personal playground.
