MotorCity H-D V-Twin Expo - Backing from Drag Specialties, HardDrive and Tucker V-TwinMotorCity Harley-Davidson (Farmington Hills, Michigan) is again hosting its annual V-Twin Expo, and this year it has been expanded to a three-day event on the weekend of February 21st - 23rd.
The project is headed up by MotorCity Harley-Davidson GM and partner Craig Collins: "Last year was so successful that we had to make it annual and take it into a third day." MC H-D has always been a 'progressive' store, always looking to try out new things and often flying in the face of convention, and their active events program can attract up to 10,000 enthusiasts in a weekend.
Craig added a custom dimension to the dealership in 2016 with the launch of MotorCity Customs - already an award-winning and successful custom build business-within-the-business.
"I started MotorCity Customs the same year we bought the present building and have had great success with it. Unlike most H-D stores, we won't restrict ourselves to only selling bolt-on H-D product, we are completely the opposite.
"Far from being anti-aftermarket, we embrace it and value the additional revenue and customization opportunities it brings to riders in our area." The entire facility is 106,000 square feet and sits on twelve acres. The dealership occupies 75,000 square feet of that space.
The MotorCity V-Twin Expo is something that he hopes to "grow into a really cool annual event. More grass roots and intimate than a big trade show, we've got about 30,000 sq ft we can use for the Expo."
Vendors confirmed for this year include HardDrive, Khrome Werks, Saddlemen, Tucker V-Twin, LA Choppers, Custom Dynamics, Cobra Exhausts, Rockford Fosgate, Rinehart Exhausts and Drag Specialties.
