< Staged in October 2022 at the Dübendorf Airfield near Zurich , home of the Swiss Air Force Museum and a site that has resonance with the Swiss motorcycle community as the headquarters venue for the Swiss Love Ride in May each year . Christoph and his " Ride Your Dream "
The Panolin Ride In Bike Show Radical class was won against tough competition by " Bintang Racer ", a Harley-Davidson Dyna CVO built by Bächli Motorcycles - a company with a 55-year history in the Swiss Harley scene and a reputation for superb custom bikes .
Harley-Davidson Würzburg Village has a long history of outstanding custom bikes , and " Red Rooster " is one of those show bikes in the best US tradition , featuring gold plating and many handcrafted parts .
Premiering at TÖFFMÄSS , CCCP introduced its Sportster rigid frame conversion kit for air-cooled Sportster models from 1979 up to 2003 . Available for Evo and Ironhead Sportster , a great variety of styles can be served - and it will be street-legal for Europe .
There were three Feuling W3 motorcycles at TÖFFMÄSS 2022 . Two of them with the original Feuling frame , including the Bonneville Racer of Ruedi Steck , and one with a Penz custom frame by Sven Cycles in Waltalingen . team ( RYD ) managed to pull off a great start for the event - AMD ' s long-term collaborator , the photo journalist Horst Roesler , told us that " you can ' t say that Swiss customizers and custom bike fans shy from risks . The premiere of TÖFFMÄSS in Dübendorf saw a lot of new and very well engineered custom bikes roll in for the event - many of the essential Swiss names in customizing turned up , and with an extensive show program to entertain the visitors , even the challenging weather didn ' t deter the determination of Swiss custom enthusiasts from celebrating the return of a face-to-face opportunity to express their enthusiasm . " Christoph and his RYD team didn ' t just give the show a new date and venue , a difficult enough thing to achieve , but TÖFFMÄSS was a complete reboot that took the Swiss custom market ' s opportunities to a new level ." With the opportunity to add outdoor show features to what had previously been an exclusively indoor event , the idea of TÖFFMÄSS was to integrate as many program elements as practical . There were two bike shows , one of them a ' Ride In ', a swapmeet , a stuntshow , Freestyle moto- cross , trial demos and riding schools , and even a local brass band to perform at the opening of the gates on the Saturday morning . " Saturday ' s Ride In Bike Show ( sponsored by Swiss oil blender Panolin ) saw some 30 + competitors in nine classes , plus a ' Best of Show ' award - not bad for a show premiere - and with a very high standard of bikes too . " In order to encourage visitor engagement , public voting was used to determine the best bikes in each class . The stylish ' rigid frame ' trophies for the class winners were handcrafted by Swiss sheet metal specialist Ezio , who also ran a ' customizing fabrication ' demonstration class during the weekend event . The trophy ceremony on Saturday evening continued seamlessly into Swiss based riding jeans brand Rokker ' s 15th anniversary party . " The crowds started appearing earlier on the Sunday morning . Despite Switzerland ' s very strict regulations , many of the main players of the Swiss custom scene presented old and new projects , a true showcase for the excellence of Swiss customizing with plenty of street-legal modifications , conversions and custom builds . " All things considered , TÖFFMÄSS lived up to , and even exceeded , expectations - and the general agreement among exhibitors and competitors was that Switzerland ' s custom showcase is back !" www . töffmäss . ch
