motorcycles, ranging from a 1974 50 cc Cesare Rizzato Kids Trike to a 1.5 ton scratch built monster trike with 800 cc single cylinder stationary diesel engine- and an incredible number of high-class custom Harley-Davidson ' s by builders from all over Germany and even as far away as Kuwait! To give customizers a wide field of classes, the show featured 16(!) different categories, which did put the jury members- selected from members of the famous ' Customizers East ' club in northern Franconia- under severe time pressure. The fast-paced show allowed the bikes to enter right up until Friday morning, so staging the judging( all bikes!) and the trophy the ceremony on the Saturday was tight, but the organisers ' got it done '. Presented here are a selection of class the winners but a more complete list of wins and seconds, including a couple of special awards and an extensive picture gallery, can be found online at the event website.
