Custom Chrome Europe Bike Show Faak, Austria 2009

Story by Mark Barnett, Photos by Horst Rösler

This past October European bike builders got together in Austria to show of some of the most exotic bikes in the world. Apparently they forgot about the worldwide financial crisis and kept spending money on ultra exotic bikes. They aren’t down to bobbers and stockers quite yet. Global super-reporter Horst Rösler was there to cover it for us and sent us the photos you see here. Custom Chrome shows its strength in Europe by continually being associated with the best “old world” bike shows. The green monster with two gold carburetors won the show, but I think the big guy on the V-Rod could have taken the trophy home with him, who the hell would try to stop him?
