" Bikers Life " of Biker Fest fame in May at Lignano Sabbiadoro ( www . bikerfest . it ) and " Low Ride " - have their own bike displays at MBE with the huge Low Ride Bike Show traditionally occupying Hall 1 - this year with a massive added local U . S . cars and Hot Rods presence . Moreno and Micke Persello of " Bikers Life " were the co-founders of what eventually became MBE at Verona . With the owner of MBE , they cofounded the then " Chopper & Custom Show " event in Padua , which preceded this show at Verona . " Low Ride " Magazine is an important supporter of the " Eternal City " Bike Show in Rome - September 2023 , www . romeinternational . it - where highlights will include a Sportster Chopper give-away . MBE is also a nexus for the great variety of custom artists , craftsmen and -women , customizing services and custom lifestyle artists that are to be found in Italy and neighboring countries - rarely seen in such great numbers at any event worldwide . In addition to the Low Ride Bike Show , Clubstyle competition , magazine awards , the " King of Verona " competition has become the " top trophy " of the event : the ten best bikes are selected by a jury and then they choose their " King " of the weekend . This year the jury ' s decision fell on top Italian builders Hazard Motorcycles ( Brescia ) with a drag style custom bike which had been " under construction " for four years . The inspiration for the final stage of this project was a " Riva " luxury sport boat called " Riva Aquarama Lamborghini " from the renowned boatbuilders in Riva del Lake Garda with a ( original ) Lamborghini engine - which explains the blue color scheme of the Sportster engine and the " wood paint " design of the fairing .
