WHERE THE AMATUERS GO TO BE JUDGED BY THE PROS:
Metzeler’s Custom Bike Contest To ROAR INTO Sturgis For SIXTH Consecutive Year
ROME, GA – May 1, 2008 Calling all amateurs! If you’re an aspiring amateur builder
ready to show off your skills this is your chance. Join Metzeler on Tuesday,
August 5th for one of the Sturgis Rally’s signature events: the Metzeler Custom
Bike Contest. Back for its sixth consecutive year, this is the industry’s best
V-twin custom builder competition, with incredible guest judges and one-of-a-kind
prizes. In addition, Metzeler has partnered with the Custom Bike Association
to implement more standardized judging procedures, elevating the competition
to a whole new level.
The only CBA-sanctioned event in Sturgis this year, the Custom Bike Contest will
again offer some of the finest prizes at the rally: a trip to Metzeler Headquarters
in Germany and the Faakersee Bike Week in neighboring Austria, an American Iron
feature story, a once-in-a-lifetime apprenticeship with building legend Eddie
Trotta, an appearance in Metzeler’s 2008 marketing materials, tires, merchandise
and more. Of course, you’re going to have to impress some pretty tough critics.
Working in conjunction with CBA Master Judge, this year’s judging panel is an
impressive who’s who of American custom building: Metzeler Custom Bike Contest
spokesman Eddie Trotta, Donnie Smith, Paul Cox, plus guest judge Chris Maida
of American Iron and more. Each one will bring years of experience to the task
at hand: the battle for Best in Class and, ultimately, Best of Show. And don’t
worry – the ever-popular People’s Choice Award will be back, too!
The 6th Annual Metzeler Sturgis Custom Bike Contest will be held Tuesday, August
5th, 2008 in the Thunderdome at Thunder Road, 3 miles east of Sturgis at 12990
State Hwy 34. Open registration from 8 a.m., doors open at 9, awards start at
