73: Easyriders Bike Show - Charlotte 2017
Episode description
We talk about attending the Charlotte EasyRiders Bike Show. Rico was unable to attend, but Rich and Jon were joined by one of the Riders of Loud Pipes - Mike (aka 18two4ever). This is the third year that the Loud Pipes team has attend the show and have to say this is the largest one so far. A few cherry pops happened - first bike show for Mike and first long ride for Jon in a rain storm.
A few observations from the show:
- Big Wheel baggers are still here, but conversations with a few builders hint that they are ready to be done with big front wheels
- Custom vintage bikes are growing
- Supercharged/Turbo bikes are growing
A few pictures of bikes the guys liked. If you want to see more, become a patreon at the $5 level to get access to a shared drive with all the images.
