Biker Fest - Italy, September 17-20
Postponed from May, the 34th
annual Biker Fest and Italian
Bike Week will now be staged
on the weekend of September
17-20 at its spectacular regular
Lignano Sabbiadoro peninsula
venue an hour north of Venice
on Italy's stunning Adriatic
coast.
Sponsored by Bridgestone Tires,
Biker Fest is a long standing
AMD World Championship of
Custom Bike Building Affiliate
and regularly sends at least
three superb Italian custom
bikes to compete for top honors
at the 'AMD'; the event will also
again be hosting the final of the
14-round Italian Custom Bike
Championship.
Last year saw thousands of
bikers descend on Lignano
Sabbiadoro for one of Europe’s
oldest custom bike events, the
brainchild of father and son
team Moreno and Micke
Persello, creators of the original
Chopper and Custom Show at
Padua back in the 1990s, and
publishers of leading Italian
custom lifestyle magazine
Bikers Life.
This will be the seventh time
the ever popular Biker Fest will
play host to the climax of the
Italian Bike Championship with
no less than four builders
winning 1,000 euro each of
expenses to compete at the
next 'AMD XIV' (whenever that
will now take place!). Over 100
bikes in total were on display at
the impressive Terrazza Mare
last year, and classes will again
include Freestyle, Modified
Harley-Davidson, Metric,
Streetfighter/
Sportsbike, Cafe Racer,
Scrambler, Bagger and
Old Style, with the
three ‘Best in Show’
winners and ‘Public
Vote’ pick scooping
the ‘AMD’ prize
money being put up
by the show
organizers.
While it remains to
be seen what impact
the coronavirus
pandemic has on an
event that is being
staged in northern
Italy, an area that
has been particularly hard hit,
last year there was an expanded
additional "customizer" vendor
area opposite the Terrazza (in
addition to the usual vendor lot
tires, Cyron lights and TBR
exhausts.
Western Power Sports and
HardDrive completed a new
245,000 sq ft warehouse at
Midway, Georgia, in January this
year as an upgrade to its former
Memphis, Tennessee facility. The
company also completed
expansions at its California and
Idaho headquarters facilities in
2019, taking its six strong
distribution center network in
the United States, which also
includes Texas and Pennsylvania
facilities, to nearly one million
sq ft in total.
