To all those in Florida before, during and after Daytona Biketoberfest, I remind you that the Art Of The Chopper Exhibition at the Appleton Museum Of Art in Ocala, FL will debut October 10th and will last till January 10th, 2010. On Friday October 9th. I will join “Art Of The Chopper” author and exhibition curator Tom Zimberoff and my fellow Custom Builders Hank Young and Vince Doll for a press conference followed by a VIP Kick Start Party from 4 to 10 pm.
You will be able to view 30 custom motorcycles built as contemporary art and ask us all the questions you always wanted to ask… Of course it’s a biker friendly event with live rock band, food, drinks, motorcycle vendors, auction and preview tour of the exhibition. Tickets available in advance at the museum and on this Web site, and priced at $25 per person or $50 for VIP tickets that include valet, reserved bike parking and the private Kick Party VIP reception.
I list again by alphabetical order the Builders and custom bikes featured in this exhibition.
Mike Brown (Holy Roller), Chica (Freedom Forever), Dave Cook (Cook Norton & Ramble), Vince Doll (Curves and S&S Bike), Christian Dotson (Swingshot and Aileron), Trevelen (El Peligroso), Rick Fairless (Bettie), Ron Finch (Odin’s Axle), “Big Al” Gaither (Blue Goose), Jerry Graves (Mad Rat), Jim Giuffra (Er Hed), Gard Hollinger (Fancily), Cyril Huze (Graffiti), Shinya Kimura (Spike), Scott Long (Stingray), Joe Martin (The Destroyer), Dave Perewitz (Stinger), Mondo (Easyrider’s 35th Anniversary Bike), Mike Pugliese (Knuckle Under), Roland Sand (Glory Stomper), Indian Larry (Chain of Mystery), Ron Simms (Fuck Luck), Donnie Smith (Donnie’s Blower Bike), Eddie Trotta (Camel III), Paul Yaffe (El Cadence), Hank Young (Flying Pan and Disk Drive)
Monday October 5th, 3 pm EST: The press conference of Oct. 9, at 11 am at the museum is confirmed. But “The Art of the Chopper Kick Start Party” scheduled for Friday night has been rescheduled to Sunday, Nov. 29, and it’s being called the “Shifting Gears Party.”
Wonderful exhibit!
Will try to ride by while in the area for Biketoberfest since Ocala is only an hour west of Daytona.
