Cyril Huze Blog – World's Number One Source For Custom Motorcycle News

In the German-speaking portion of Switzerland, the city of Luzern (Lucerne) is this weekend October 12-13 the epicenter of the European custom scene for both cars and motorcycles exhibited at the Swiss Performance International Motorshow. Although Switzerland doesn’t belong to the European Union, an independent status creating some red tape for exhibitors and builders transporting their ware, cars and bikes through the Swiss borders, promoter Ruedi Steck and partners are able to organize a very successful show in terms of participation of the main oem manufacturers, of builders and number of visitors. The reasons lie in the fact that Swiss people have a passion for everything automotive with the country being the base of builders producing some of the most high end custom machines in the world. Outside the US, Switzerland is also the country where Harley-Davidson has the largest market share of locally registered heavyweight motorcycles, an amazing 20 percent! Yesterday and this morning october 12th (opening of the  show), correspondent “motographer” Horst Roesler shot a few of the bikes already setup to compete in the bike competition.
