NEXT BIKERNET FEATURE BIKE–Watch for this sleek Cyril Huze monster to hit the site in less than a week. Here’s his Daytona report: We all dried up after 10 days of rain & storm in Daytona. We still managed to ride our bikes, gave interviews to the Discovery & the Travel Channels, did pictures for a new coffee table book on the ‘Art Of The Choppers’ and for European magazines, met our clients and friends at bike shows, and drunk a lot (of hot chocolate) at our favorite place on Beach Street: Martini’s (the best Italian food and the best looking/friendly/motorcycle knowledgeable waitresses in town).
For the 1st time, we showed our latest creation called “Exotika”. ’03 confirmed the two big trends in custom building: the retro Choppers and the new high tech Softails with a low stance and a very fat front tire on a 16″ wheel. “Exotika” emphasizes this latest trend. It’s Cyril’s vision of what a 21st century high tech Hot Rod motorcycle should look like. Very macho…
Although attendance was down because of bad weather, and the number of cops was up for no reason, Bike Week was still Bike Week: an exceptional social event of people of all ages, races, social classes, sharing in the same place their love and passion for motorcycles. If there is a special memory we will keep from this 2003 edition, it is this shy 10 years-old little girl who came to visit Cyril on his booth. She had a small notebook and wanted an autograph and a small sketch of a different motorcycle on each page. For her and five of her girlfriends at school in Tampa. Then, we looked at her disappearing in the crowd, with a big smile on her face, her notebook signed by Cyril, and wearing one of our tee-shirts (too big for her). Let’s never forget that our profession is a beautiful one. For a simple reason: it goes well beyond designing motorcycles…

THE ART OF THE CHOPPER– If you love custom motorcycles, you can write the name of this new “coffee table” book on your Christmas list. Still in preparation, it will be released on time for the Holidays. Cyril Huze joins Jesse James, Arlen Ness, Ron Simms, Jim Nasi, Roger Bourget, Billy Lane, Mitch Bergeron, Paul Yaffe and a few others, to illustrate the Art of the Choppers. The book is about designers who build $70,000 motorcycles to die for! It?s about their legerdemain with sheet metal, and their legendary personas. It’s not about biker culture; it’s about how the bikes are culture. And it’s about the men who build them. The theme is the celebration of an American art form. It is a testament in the guise of an elegant volume of fine-art photographic prints that will be as well regarded on coffee tables in Missoula as Manhattan. It will be just as appropriate to find it in the bookstores of metropolitan artmuseums as on shop tables in every wrencher’s garage. You might say this isn’t Vogue; and instead of chiffon you’re gonna get chrome. But this tome is a tribute to high fashion nonetheless. Instead of the glamorization of haute couture, we give you Haute Moteur: The Art of the Chopper. Customs Forever! Cyril Huze Custom HOLIDAY FOR MEN–TODAY– MARCH 20–Guys, you know the drill.

Always look forward to reading Rogue’s write up “Daytona Flordia Sinks Giving Up Her Land To The Swamps Of Hell!” Fuck, it was bad but makes for a great “true” and interesting event feature coverage. I have begun to write up a ruff draft. I will submit it to Scan Bike and magazines published in Denmark. Thinking of offering another write up different photos to a biker newspaper published in Texas Skunk Dots. I’d like to appologize to you in not inquiring if Bikernet.com would be interested in information packet regarding Vendor information for Rally in the Rockies Four Corners 2003? If Bikernet is already booked perhabs you know of another who is interested. If not a vendor packet may be registration forms or even a sponsorship proposal? Now that Daytona Bike Week is over except for writing and submitting, my mind, soul and entire life is all 100% focused and devoted on the Rally in the Rockies event. Let me know if you want me to send you any information or contact listings, what’s what, who’s who and who do I have to kill now?
