Unless I missed it, there wasn't a Deluxe one to be found at the Charlotte, Easyrider Show this weekend, however it was like a Bagger Nation reunion! LOL The Southeast represented with some great bikes though! Check out the alum I put together here, Easyrider Show, Charlotte, NC Jan 21, 12.

Being my first Easyrider show I guess I was expecting a lot more vendors, but after overhearing some conversation between a couple, it sounded like they doubled the vendor fees for this years show which would explain that.

Crowd activities and/or events, for the $20 was lacking as well. But I guess they did have a couple folks from Sons Of Anarchy (which I've still never seen an episode lol) signing autographs and Full Throttles, Michael Ballard and girlfriend Angie were offering a picture and autograph if you bought one of their shirts. Woohooo...lol No, I didn't get either. But the OL did purchase me a nice sign for the garage.

 

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Well guess we know what the wife thinks of you now.....lol

And from the pictures I am now glad I didn't waste my money as I have seen most and ridden with a few of those bikes.

 

4-5 years ago it was packed full of vendors, now only half full with the other half being used for a car show and roller derby. I can't say I was disappointed because I wasn't expecting much anyways.

 

Thanks some great photos, sad thing is when they jack up vendor fee's then there is less for people to see and buy. If there is less for people to see and buy, then less people show up, less people show up & the show dies. Everyone wonders why the show died.

 

Nice. thx for the pix. bummer no Lux's. Maybe next year we storm the show!

 

Yeah, we'll definitely have to see about having a Lux or two there next year.

The little orange Bobber in the pics from Carolina Customs sparked my interest with only a $12.9K price tag. I would love to build one like it or similar to the blue Triumph in the pics with a v-twin.

I had "heard" one of the small vendor areas in the past was only $800, then this year it was jacked up to $1,600!

This is my favorite from the pics taken.

 

Thanks for the pics, there were some cool bikes. This was one of my favorites:

 

These bikes look like serious ground up custom builds, I wouldnt expect to see something that started life as a stock deluxe.

These are all big money bad *** builds, nice pics

 

Ya at the RI show mostly baggers with 23" wheels
