More than 100 competitors from 34 states and 13 countries participated in last year?s Official World Bike Building Championship held in November. For its Sturgis debut, organizers will once again offer the largest single cash prize for a custom bike competition with awards totaling more than $50,000.
“We are very excited and honored to see how fast this event has grown and to see how well it has been received in the industry,” said Robin Bradley, AMD Publisher and Official World Bike Building Championship owner. “What better location to have this competition than Sturgis, the world’s largest biker rally, and at Thunder Road, the custom bike capital of Sturgis. Our decision to relocate the event will create more opportunities for the builders and more visibility for our sponsors.”
The Official World Championship will kick off Sturgis Bike Week and begin on Saturday, Aug. 5 and run for three days ending Monday, Aug. 7. The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on Monday, Aug. 7 at 3 p.m. During the exhibit, visitors will have an opportunity to meet the world-rated custom builders, as well as get autographs and photos in the “Meet the Champions” lounge.

VON DUTCH/DAVID MANN AUCTION RESULTS–Did you go to http://www.rmauctions.com and hit the {results key}? Click on Brucker Collection and finally…{show all}. I could not believe how inexpensive much of the collection ultimately was. The huge shocker was the ME 108B airplane. As a WWII complete aircraft and the parent design of the ME 109…a total bargain…$44,000.That is about one tenth of it’s real value. Take it to sell at The Oshkosh fly-in and you would easily get $440,000 and probablymuch more. David’s paintings were relatively cheap as well. Jacquie was heartbroken she could not participate…still, she understood and accepted the lost opportunity. Hope you are well. We will all be at Hanford next Sat. morning for the big antique bike swap and show…hope you can make it. Yours daily….{I am ez}

BIKENET BLONDE JOKE OF THE WEEK– Q: What do you do if a Blonde throws a pin at you?
A: Run, she’s got the grenade in her mouth!
ANOTHER BRUKER AUCTION REPORT–A cache of artwork and memorabilia by Von Dutch and Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, icons of the so-called Kustom Kulture, was a hit with collectors.
Such pop culture items as a sign featuring the late Dutch’s trademark flying eyeball prompted spirited bidding during Saturday’s RM Auctions’ Brucker Collection sale at the Petersen Automotive Museum. The sign fetched $149,500.
Dutch’s painted “Good-Bye Cruel World,” created long before the Von Dutch brand became an overused clothing label, sold for $110,000. It shows a man turning the crank on a meat grinder that is consuming his own body.
“The name Von Dutch has become an international icon, but the man behind the name is one of the most influential and enigmatic artists of the 20th century,” said Rob Myers of RM Auctions.
More than 500 items were on the auction block and some sold for 10 times as much as had been expected.
One of the most coveted items – Von Dutch’s Personal Paint and Pin-Striping Box – fetched $310,500. Dutch’s personally engraved tools also raked in big bucks, including a body hammer ($4,600), Binks spray gun ($10,350), and custom letter opener ($3,670).
Also triggering a bidding frenzy Saturday was the late Roth’s iconic “Rat Fink” sketches, including the “Rat Fink’s Revenge” drawing. It brought in $9,775.
Roth was well-known in hot-rodding circles for Rat Fink and other motor-crazed monsters as well as fanciful hot rods such as the Beatnik Bandit or the Druid Princess.
Juxtapoz magazine founder Robert Williams’ painting “In the Land of Retinal Delights,” completed by Williams in 1968 and considered the epitome of the imagination of the Kustom Kulture movement, sold for $184,000.
The art was dubbed Kustom Kulture during a Laguna Beach art show.
There was also a great deal of interest in the items owned by actor Steve McQueen, including his Von Dutch-engraved airplane hangar locks that were bid up to $12,650 by the time the hammer fell.
“The creative legacy of Dutch and the other artists represented during the sale continue to cast a long shadow over today’s pop culture world,” Myers said.

THE END, ALMOST–I looked for something tantalizing to kick the news off with. I’ve been running at so many projects I sensed dryness in my pros. I sat back, looked at an un-open bottle of Jack, girls in overalls hammering nails and half-finished motorcycles. Maybe that’s why we’re not sitting back having fun and not working so goddamn much. I pondered, then Sin Wu burst into my office with a letter from our Vet.
That’s right our veterinarian wrote to explain the odd operation on our new evil black cat. It was turned over to us because its last owners couldn’t handle the year old monster. It crawled the walls, curtains, you name it. So we took it to be fixed. It was a female, we thought.
Here’s what the doc discovered:
We all took a close look at the external genitalia and saw vulva, clitoral fold and vagina entering. It is Female! I decided to extend the incision caudally and reflect the bladder for a good look. I saw two structures that were instantly recognized as vas deferens coursing from the neck of the bladder around and disappearing into the inguinal ring, and I now could identify the spermatic artery and vein joining and entering the ring also. I tugged slowly with increasing pressure and first one, then the second perfect testicle was drawn back. I tied them off with their adjacent blood supply. Your cat was a perfect textbook hermaphrodite.
Maybe that explained his or her moods. Have a terrific weekend. I’m judging Seth’s Bike Show in Santa Maria, California, Sunday, so the Sunday Post will be a late night edition. Hang on.
Again, I want to thank Chris Kallas for a killer job on the Salt Shaker logo, although there may be some slight modifications. Make sure to check out the R-rated version in the Sunday post.
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
