Italian Motorcycle Megashow A BIGGER BANG:
Padua BIKE EXPO 2008, 18th - 20th January 2008 – 14. Bike EXPO Padua
Running into its 14th year, the annual BIKE EXPO at Padua has established itself already as THE season opener, not only south-side of the alps: With lots of visitors passing the gates already on Friday, both Saturday and Sunday. Again the show was crowded beyond belief! There were times when you thought that this exhibition could hardly get any bigger – but every year, the BIKE EXPO – formerly established as Chopper & Custom Show – extended it’s grip on hall after hall!
The empty room between Halls 7 and 8 was bridged with a roof, thus creating another hall for Honda. As in 2007, all available halls were full to the max with motorcycles and custombikes. The big Motorcycle Manufacturers are out in force – and so is the italian Custombike Scene: Two Bikeshows by the main Custombike-Magazines PLUS the selection of the Top-3 Customs for the World and European Championship of Customizing 2008 added a lot to the popularity of this event! More trophys to win – and BIKE EXPO organisers again dug deep into their pockets: The “Best of Show” Winner got a € 5.000,-- cheque for transport to the World Championship in the USA, 2nd and 3rd are invited to the European championship at Mainz/Germany in March!!
Bertrand Dubet has come quite a long way to show his extraordinary bike project named “V-Rage”: Based in Toulouse, not too far from the hi-tech Airbus aircraft manufacturing plant, the creator of Odyssey Motorcycles has already a reputation for building one-off show-winning custombikes which are ahead of their time and spearheading new technology. Having introduced the rolling chassis already at the KUSTOM SHOW in Paris in spring 2007, the BIKE EXPO saw the roll-out into the show circuit for a view dates, before the bike is delivered to the customer, a closely guarded name in international ball-sport business. The 1.600 km trip paid off with two huge trophies of both “Best of Show” of the Freeway Bikeshow and the BIKE EXPO’s own show judgment, performed to the rules of the AMD World Championship of Custombike Building. Not to forget a 5.000,-- € boost for the trip to the World Championship at Sturgis/South Dakota, sponsored by BIKE EXPO!
