14 AFTERMARKET MOTO DESIGN - MARCH 2024
Parts & Labor Custom Motorcycle Expo Del Mar Fairgrounds , California , January 12-13 , 2024
After more than a dozen years of organic growth and strategic finetuning , what was once merely a place to shop for scratch and dent products from Biltwell and a handful of boutique brands , has blossomed into the biggest little trade expo and motorcycle show in Southern California . With the added horsepower of this year ’ s third annual Parts and Labor Custom Motorcycle Expo , the warm and sunny Del Mar Fairgrounds , San Diego , was the place for enthusiasts to shake off the post-holiday malaise with friends and family ( January 12- 13 , 2024 ). Nearly 2,000 spectators converged on the popular venue to score deals from 77 vendors from the V-twin , off-road , overlanding and custom culture industries . Fifty custom motorcycles were also on display , with the winning builder in five bike show categories taking his share in nearly $ 6,000 in combined cash and prizes . As a bonus , during booth vendor setup Friday evening , Biltwell hosted a trade-oriented Q & A for vendors and their staff . This Parts and Labor workshop featured four leaders from a variety of brands and industries , two men and two women . This year ’ s speakers included : Roger Scarbossa , VP Branded Products at Comoto Holdings ( Revzilla , J & P Cycles , Cyclegear ); Vipe Desai , Executive
Director of the Surf Industry Members Association ; Holly Anderson , Director of global and domestic sales for NHS Inc . ( Santa Cruz skateboards and other brands ) and Holly Stein , CEO of Tres Noir Eyewear and producer of the Ventura Nationals Hot Rod and Motorcycle Show .
These executives shared insight from their decades of experience in a range of industries and organizations to help young entrepreneurs at Parts and Labor navigate today ’ s rapidly evolving global markets . Biltwell ’ s aim for hosting this workshop is to help small businesses become large ones to benefit not only themselves , but to benefit the grassroots motorcycle industry as a whole .
