BIKERNET TO MEET WITH S&S BOSS IN CINCINNATI–We received a crumpled slip of paper this week from the missing Howard Kelly. It contained an evil smudged black dot in the center with just one line of text underneath. “Meet with our new boss at the V-Twin Expo or die.” It was signed with an eratic “X.”

Big Twin Motors (Naples) and Fred Kodlin (Germany) win Verona International–The first annual Verona International Custom Show took place at Motor Bike Expo in Verona over the weekend of January 16-18. With fierce competition, especially between the Italian builders, the judges finally chose Big Twin Motors of Naples for the Italian prize, and Fred Kodlin Motorcycles from Germany for the International prize. Both winners receive a contribution towards the expense of competing at this year’s 6th annual Official World Championship of Custom Bike Building, at Champions Park, Lazelle St, Sturgis over August 2-5.
Motor Bike Expo is the first World Championship “International Affiliate” to offer two Sturgis prizes, one to the best bike from a domestic builder, and the other to the top international competitor.
Banishing fears that the quality of the show and attendance could be affected by the move away from Padua, Motor Bike Expo reported comparable crowds to last year and exhibitors were pleased with the level of business conducted.
Cory Ness, on stage to present the winning builders with their trophies, commented that Motor Bike Expo was the best European show he had attended in the past five years.
Inside sources at Padua, who staged their own show over the same days in direct opposition to Verona, reported a drop of over 70% in attendance from the previous year.

ANOTHER REPORT FROM MYRTLE BEACH–Myrtle beach has launched a new website to deter people from coming to the grand strand during the bike rally in may. The website is www.myrtlebeachbikerinfo.com
DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU READ ON THIS SITE. MOST OF THE INFO IS FALSE. THERE WILL BE A SPRING RALLY IN MAY 2009 HERE ON THE GRAND STRAND .
There will be no activities sponsored by Myrtle Beach in the city limits. The city limits never had a lot of sponsored activities going on.
The majority of bike week events take place out side the city. There will be plenty of activities going on within Horry county as normal.
Nothing has changed. THE SPRING RALLY WILL BE MAY208th – 17th 2009. If you want current and up to date and correct info on the rally, please check out one of the following sites.
