The 31st annual Dennis Kirk Donnie Smith Bike Show will be staged at the Saint Paul River Center, St Paul, Minnesota, on Saturday March 24th and Sunday March 25th.
More than just a (very good) custom bike show with a very good cash prize fund and the imprimatur of an industry legend, the show features custom cars and bikes, a tattoo show, swap meet and well-known vendors from all across America for, what is billed as, “the largest custom bike show in the Midwest.”
The show has grown tremendously from its beginnings, and weathered the downturn well - the organizer, Neil Ryan, says that this year it will again comprise over 200,000 square feet of expo center indoor show space, with competition classes set to include custom Baggers, Choppers, retro Bobbers and custom Cruisers.
In related news, Flat Track racing is returning to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds at the same time as the show, with indoor Flat Track back at its Twin Cities Spiritual home. In the 1970s the renowned Minneapolis Armory hosted “indoor” Flat Track races that “people of a certain age” still remember fondly!
