Default Lowbrow Holeshot

Lowbrow customs hosted a camp out in Salem ohio at the Western Reserve motorcycle club. We rode out on Saturday and here are a few pics from the event.

Cool stuff, thanks for the photos. I liked those events until it became "cool" to strip off funtional parts (shocks, front brakes, fenders... ) and sit around and rip on everyone with a factory bike.

The bikes are still good looking and the people at Lowbrow know their stuff.

yeah there is a lot of attitude and judgment within this group. if your bike is old but not old enough it will be dogged... lot's of guys who spent a lot of money to make thier bike look like it was rolled down a hill then turn their nose up at anyone who didn't.

not everyone by any means but a lot of snobs and ****** in this scene.

i've seen guys remove their front brake on a brand new nightster to try and make it look like an old triumph or something, putting jockey shifters on, etc.. it starts becoming borderline retarded.

It's a shovel with custom make covers. I'm not sure if it's original or a S and S. It is running a magneto. The bike was on the cover of easyriders a year ago. It belongs to jesse from Gasbox, a local cleveland custom shop. Really nice bike!!.

No attitudes all weekend. Bikes ranged from stock to fully homemade and american to british to japanese. We all had a great time.

Thanks for the info...I really like the bike and the custom rocker covers..the small lines look like oil lines and really sets the bike off as different.
