Respected Lichtenstein based custom bike builder Reini Servello of Bobber Garage won the Over 1000 cc Radical Class at the Sturgis Rat's Hole Custom Bike Show in August with ‘Monarch’, and secured the ‘Choice Award’ from Count's Kustoms of Las Vegas as the best motorcycle.
First seen winning at the 2018 Swiss Moto Motorcycle, Scooter and Tuning exhibition at Zurich in February, Swiss-Moto and Rat’s Hole have a partnership arrangement that sees their show winner invited to compete at the Rat’s Hole show at Sturgis - this year Servello’s ‘Monarch’ not only won through but took a rare win there for a European builder.
A six-member jury scrutinized chose ‘Monarch’ from a 60-strong field, stating that they were enthusiastic about the very carefully copper-plated and specially engraved Knucklehead engine from 1936, the milled and unique wheel rims and the handmade exhaust system.
