Default 2018 David Mann Chopperfest

I am thinking of entering my bike in the David Mann Chopperfest. I finished 3 months ago.









Can I get some of your thoughts about how the bike came out and do you think I have a chance of winning best paint?

Beautiful bike.... but it isn't Baggerfest. Still if entry cost is low... it would be fun to show.

That is a really special bike, but like some others have said, if the other guys had to ride their bike there, you'd prolly win. If it's one of those shows where big money companies make trailer queens that never really go over real roads.. then you're going to win.

Nice bike, but handlebars and a paint job on an otherwise pretty stock bike isn't anything to special.
Again, nice bike. Ride it and forget the shows.
