The Texas National Bike Show will enjoy its second year at the beautiful San Luis Convention Center on Seawall Blvd., in Galveston, Texas November 3rd and 4th 2006. During that weekend the 3rd largest motorcycle rally will coincide in Galveston bringing a potential 300,000 thousand people to the island.
In 2005 the Texas National sported its first year and although Mother Nature did not cooperate, in the form of hurricane Rita and the bike show was re-scheduled twice, spectators still enjoyed over 40 vendors and 100 custom bikes. Not only did we have a wide variety of highly customized bikes the show featured live entertainment in the way of a vintage burlesque show, belly dancers, and a wildly popular bikini show.
A free game room with pool tables, and air hockey games along with 2 full service cash bars rounded out the show for an added bit of fun.
The Texas National is housed in a beautiful, state-of-the-art 40-thousand square foot venue that allows local and national bike builders and shops to showcase their talents and products safely and securely. This year the Texas National is already shaping up to be another first class show. We will once again fill our venue with world-class custom motorcycles, local and regional shop booths and also move out onto the strand to promote and advertise the show. Once again we have Bikernet as a major sponsor. Bikernet is the largest on-line biker magazine that receives over 8 million hits a month.
Not only is the facility killer, but it’s positioned directly across the street from the beach and two world-class hotels surround it for walking access. There’s protected underground and above ground parking and tasty restaurants in walking distance.
We would like to say a great big “Thanks” to Bikernet for hosting our poster bike contest this year. Last year we used Lucky Devil’s Texas Fireball for the poster bike and it was a hit. But we decided to share the limelight with other builders who plan to attend the show, and with the help of Bikernet we’d have a poster bike contest to find the bike that would best represent the Texas National Bike Show in 2006. Boy howdy, did ya’ll rise to the occasion!
We received some very choice rides from some very proud owners. We personally are glad we don’t have to make that decision. That’s where you-all come in, with Bikernet’s help. All of the entries will be posted right here, and then it’s up to all of you to vote for you favorite bike (drop an e-mail to Holly, holly@luckydevilcustomcycles.com).
Once the voting has come to an end the winning bike will then come down to Lucky Devil In Houston for a photo shoot, by a top notch photographer, along with the winner of the 2005 Miss Texas National Bike Show.
In 2005 we sent out thousands of bike show posters to shops all around Texas and Louisiana for display. Did I mention nightclubs, icehouses, bars and whorehouses? Yep, they were everywhere. We intend to do the same this year but on an even bigger scale. There’s more. During the photo shoot the bike will be shot for a major motorcycle magazine article and a Bikernet.com bike feature and maybe a Girls of Bikernet feature. So vote for your favorite bike by dropping me an e-mail with it’s name to, holly@luckydevilcustomcycles.com, and then you can see it hanging in all your favorite local establishment, in a national mag and on Bikernet. We also look forward to having the winning bike at the show this year for not only display, but judging as well.
Once again thanks to Bandit for allowing us to use Bikernet for our devious plan! It has obviously worked, once you see all the finalists that were sent in for voting, you will see what we mean! And goddamnit, don’t forget to vote, holly@luckydevilcustomcycles.com. Just one vote per e-mail address will be counted and judges decision is final in the event we suspect ballot box stuffing. We will attempt to be as fair as possible. Remember, you’re selecting a bike to represent the Texas National Bike Show to the World. Bikernet is world wide.
–DEADLINE FOR VOTING, MIDNIGHT APRIL 19TH–See you at the show!–
