It’s been three weeks since my latest show and I’ve finally gained back the energy and train of thought to tell you all about the Hawaiian Chopper Winterfest & Biker Build-Off.
After months of hard work putting together Hawaii’s most kick ass bike show, we here at Hawaiian Chopper Magazine are enjoying the fruits of our labor (not much coin, but lots of gratitude for all those who came out to party with us).
The weather was perfect, the beer was cold, the women were beautiful, and the bikes were cool! Plus …music, hula dancers, bikini clad women, Big Mike, Chica, Cole Foster, El Pitts, Todd Silicato, Shannon Aikau, Greg Friend, Norio Akai…
The biker build-off was won by Japan’s Norio Akai for his Ninja bike. Deemed the “Ninja Bike”, Norio Akai's bike embodies Japan's warrior spirit. Samurai sword jockey shift, jet black paint with a ninja emerging from the tank, and throwing stars strategically placed, this chop from Kyoto won the popular vote (this time…).
Big Mike won the hearts of Hawaii’s bikers not only his skill at building one of the most insane bikes ever built for a biker build-off, but also for his commitment to providing them with a choice at the dealership.
I could go on-and-on, but as they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words”, so I won’t bore you with my own description of the show, except to say that, it was a great time…
