Bike Show!!!

Mrs. Harley Howie and I just got back from the bike show. Even though I saw one of my favorite bike builder Chica, I must say I was somewhat disappointed about the show. Personally I think the Fort Lauderdale Bike Show is getting worse every year. Last year I could still remember seeing lots of dealers and vendors. However, this year there were only a few. First off, I did not see any Harley dealers there at all. Second, I hardly saw any motorcycle accessories vendors. I did however bought Mrs. Harley Howie a very cute "elmo" patch for her vest. However the inscription on that patch is rated "PG-13" Basically it's Elmo fliping you the finger saying "Tickle This"! I got myself a patch of "Jack Daniels Taste Drinker". That's about the highlight of the show I am afraid. But be sure to check out the pictures Mrs. Harley Howie and I took.



Choppers from Broward Motor Sports.



26 in. wheel trike.



A V-Rod with 300 rear wheel.




Chica and me of course.



Possible future bike - a Victory.



Here are a few of the bikes Chica build. Its totally "Old-Skoll": rigids for true hard cored bikers who are not afraid of their butts get sored from riding with no rear suspension.



Can't find the strater on the handle bar? Try the original kick start in the rear by the oil tank. And finally, a sucide-shift for riders who are looking for a little challenge handling the bike.



I love these original "Old-Skool" designs and looks.



And somehow Chica can still find ways to put today's technology on motorcycle parts and integrates them into his vision.
