2010 Easyriders Charlotte Bike Show Tour Part 2
Story and Photos by Jack Cofano
(continued from Monday)
Included again this year were loads of custom cars, which for me is a plus because I enjoy checking out the four-wheel customs just as much as the two-wheel variety. Another return engagement of the Purrfect Angelz was as entertaining and as easy on the eyes as ever. A couple of new additions to the show included the booth oh-so-erotically showcasing the lovely Stormy Daniels, an adult film star and director. Huh, an adult film star at a biker show ―who’da thunk? Another booth was manned by Carlos Condit, one of my favorite mixed martial arts stars with whom I had the pleasure of sharing my enthusiasm for MMA. As a lifelong rank-amateur practitioner of the arts, I just can’t get enough of it and can’t express how impressed I am with the quality and conditioning of these athletes.
What do we have to look forward to in the coming years? As Greg Hicks, co-owner of the tour, states on the tour’s web site www.easyridersevents.com, “We’ll be adding a lot more family value to the tour, we plan on building a large area just for kids that will have video games and other activities to keep the kids entertained while parents enjoy the shows. We are currently in negotiations to have nationally known bands to play our events. We’re also in talks with other major bike manufacturers who will be adding to our bike line-up. This is already such a great tour and we just want to continue to grow it and make it something that people will continue to look forward to each year.” Great ideas Greg, anything that can bring in the crowds and make the show entertaining for everyone can’t go wrong.
All in all the show for me was a success. I had a great time visiting with friends in the industry, and meeting new ones. Even though I have been doing this for a long time I am still amazed at their innovation and dedication. In spite of the hard times, it still shows their love for the motorcycle lifestyle. Many, many thanks to Sandy Williams. She has always treated me with respect and has always been there when I needed help. I also want to especially thank the Easyriders Bike Show Tour for keeping the dream alive.
