#1 CHAMPIONSHIP Class: “SWamp Water“ by Rocket Bobs CUSTOM CHROME EUROPE PRESS RELEASE - PUBLICATION FREE OF CHARGE

CHAMPIONSHIP CLASS WINNER: „Swamp Water“ by Rocket Bob‘s

At home in Swindon, former home of the „Great Western“ Rail- way and in the industrial heart of England, „Rocket Bob“ Pete Pearson has made himself a name for extraordinary handcrafted and creative customs in a very short time: Founded in 2009, his bikes had success in many bike shows around the globe and he is reating extraordinary motorcycles almost from scratch. Following up last years success with „Speed Weevil“ a purpo- se-built 250 cc Triumph engined racer which was built to race at the Bonneville Salt Flats, „Swamp Water“ is a – again refined – version of his 2017 Customshow Emirates Build-Off bike that has also won the „Best of Show“ at CUSTOMBIKE 2017. With the exception of the highly upgraded Shovelhead engine, the bike is completely handcrafted, to the quality stndard Pete is CUSTOM CHROME INTERNATIONAL BIKE SHOW SERIES: ITALIAN CHAMPIONSHIP VERONA - SHOW REPORT 2018

famous for. Rolling chassis, fork and swingarm are all handcrafted to perfection, the frame also includes part of the fuel tank – as this bike is designated „private ride“ for some time! Compared with the 2017 „Build-Off“ version, the tank received new airbrush art and other details were cleaned up to improve ridability. The 1.750 cc motor-moster is „kickstart only“, wich really needs a tough guy to start the magneto ignited machine. Miniaturized 80s style air filter and „banana“ seat plastered with stickers add to the changed look of the upgraded version, that caught the eyes of so many judges at Motor Bike Expo‘s 10th Anniversary event. Competing with this beauty in the same class (IMAGE BOTTOM LEFT) was his Super-Moto styled Sportster Ironhead, which is yet to be finished but certainly will turn out to be a hot ride!

Jammer Old School: „The Skinny“ by 70s Helmets CUSTOM CHROME EUROPE PRESS RELEASE - PUBLICATION FREE OF CHARGE

JAMMER OLD SCHOOL CLASS WINNER: „The Skinny“ by Seventies Helmets & Radi- kal Chopper

Winning in the „Jammer Old School“ class was realised by the combine efforts of „70s Helmets“ Fabrizio Caduro, who painted and owns „The Skinny“ and Italian top „Old School“ customizer Andrea Radaelli of Radikal Chopper in Milan. They created a true masterpiece in „Old School“ style and a „Day of the Dead“ Mexican style paintjob that was eycatching and presented inside the booth of Seventies Helmets. The Speedway-style frame and set-up of the bike is as extreme as the almost completely handcrafted details that can be found all around the bike! See for yourself and notice especially the „split“ exhaust system that is running around the frame tubes!

MODIFIED HARLEY CLASS WINNER: „Setenta y Siete“ by Old Custom Flames

„Old School“ meets „rough rider“ in this creation of Ricky C. López from Marbella/Spain who struck a chord in this year’s Italian Championship. His 1977 Shovelhead custom combines the retro look with very low seating position and off-road style tires – not to forget plenty of details which are handcrafted. The instruments are sunk into the top of the tank surface, a Springer fork was far from practical in 1977, the year that this motor was built. The paintjob is partially bare metal, brushed in a certain style, then glossed over together with the painted sections of tank and rear fender. Brass and copper are added for the „antique“ portion of the design. www.oldcustomflames.com CUSTOM CHROME INTERNATIONAL BIKE SHOW SERIES: ITALIAN CHAMPIONSHIP VERONA - SHOW REPORT 2018

CCE Bike Premiere: Hard Nine Choppers Bolt On and Ride Sportster

Switzerland has been in the focus of the customizing scene for several years. While often seen as a „sealed-off“ and ristrictive market with strict and enforced homologation rules, Swiss customizers did en- joy several liberties which neighbouring German builders could only dream about. More than a quarter of the motorcycles in Switzerland are Harley-Davidsons. The Swiss customizing scene is respected for its creativity as well as the quality of the motorcycles it is building – there are Swiss Customizers that have forged unique show-winning and rideable bikes from CCE catalogue parts and almost all Swiss authorized Harley-Dealers are competing with outstanding creations.
