Last weekend, the 19th edition of the European Bike Week attracted be crowds of bikers around Lake Faak in Austria. In addition to the traditional entertainment and to rows of vendors, 2 major bike shows organized by Harley-Davidson and Custom Chrome Europe. These 2 ride-in shows are the highlights of the week and were blessed by great weather. In the CCE show, surprise guests and judges were Paul Sr and Michael Teutul, something to please the “theme bikes” builders who entered the competition… Motor Bike Expo Verona, one of the largest European events, did pick two of the top bikes and invited them to the 2017 edition where Custom Chrome Europe will run its next major bike show. I hope to be able to feature some of the winners more in details during the coming weeks. List of those awarded after the jump. Waiting for these close up features, a few postcards from Austria.
