The Poznan Motor Show sponsored by Motorcycle Storehouse is Poland’s biggest automotive automotive showcase with four halls dedicated only to motorcycles, of which one is hosting the “Custom Festival” of Polish magazine “Custom”. In this country of 39 million people, there are only 7 official Harley-Davidson dealers, but there is an emergent custom scene with builders whose reputation among their peers in Europe is metal/welding work expertise. More than 60 custom motorcycles competing last weekend in the bike show with builders from Central Europe showing a wide variety of styles on all kind of platforms. “The Partner Pick Of Excellence” received from Custom Chrome Europe a set of the newly introduced Crusher Performance Exhaust Systems (Photography Horst Roesler for Cyril Huze)

#1 & #3 are good customs.
Wow a lot of Euro-style throwback(s)
would be salivating back in the day
I thought that Custom Chrome presented “Pick of excellence” not “Best of show” ….
Some interesting stuff, still can’t understand the Europeans love for rear tires on the front or knobbies on choppers, the trike thing is a nightmare, sorry pal. But to each his own…
Certainly different stuff than what has become the norm…….
-nicker-
Looking good Horst
Why do I think that this looks like the parking lot at an Iron Maiden show?
OK, a tip of the hat to some first rate craftsmanship even if nothing here floats my boat.
Maybe if they dialed it down a notch… or twelve.
