After scaring me (and all of us) by telling me last October that he was too busy, too tired to continue organizing the event, Willie reconsidered and after receiving some sponsorship from Iron Horse Magazine, he will welcome again his friends of the industry at the 2011 Daytona edition of his Chopper Time Show this Thursday March 10th, from 11 am to 4 pm.
A bike show? I always qualified the event as a Happening, a kind of Biker Art Performance where there is no boundary between the artists (the builders showing their bikes) and the audience (bikers) and all the usual suspects of the motorcycle industry (press, opinion leaders). Like in all Happenings, key elements are planned (show starts at 11 am, $2 beer, girls, bands, trophy awards at 4 pm), but with a lot of interactions between the audience and the art work (the custom bikes), making spectators , in a sense, part of the art of motorcycling. Yes, the show is as much the public as are the custom bikes and it’s the reason why people will continue to visit the Willie’s Tropical Tattoo Bike Show both during Daytona Bike Week and Biketoberfest. For the newbies, address is 825 South Vonge Street (US1) in Ormond Beach. (pictures copyright Cyril Huze)

Great show as always, I’m proud that we at The Horse Backstreet Choppers magazine could help Willie and the crew in a small way so he can continue this tradition that has become EASILY the best show in Daytona.
I have said it before and I will say it again Willie is the KING of Daytona, It is my favorite place to go when at bike week. It’s is amazing how much support that show gets, It is like the good old days when everybody stepped up and took care of business. IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO WILLIES SHOW, YOU MISSED THE BEST THING IN DAYTONA. Willie I hope to see you real soon.
Take care.
So glad we could be there for Willie’s show. It is by far the best event in Daytona. Thank you again to Willie and the entire staff for putting the event on and for such an incredible time. Bike Week would NOT be the same with out the Ol School Chopper Time Show. Counting the days till Biketoberfest!!!
