Budweis Indian Motorcycle Custom Show
Following our report two months ago about the innovative Indian Riders Fest (IRF), Indian Motorcycle in Europe has released more information about the second edition of the Budweis Indian Motorcycle Custom Show being staged as a centerpiece of the event.
The highly anticipated event will showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of European custom bike builders and Indian Motorcycle dealers. It will take place during the IRF in České Budějovice (Budweis), Czech Republic, June 9-11, 2023.
Indian Motorcycle Europe says that "with the IRF already expected to be the world's largest gathering of Indian Motorcycle owners, the Budweis Indian Motorcycle Custom Show is a huge stage for builders to show the world their skills and vision with entirely transformed bikes, insane custom motorcycle concepts, unusual design projects or spectacular masterpieces.
"In recognition of the developing profile of the Budweis Indian Motorcycle Custom Show, American Motorcycle Dealer has confirmed its "AMD Approved" status to the show, making it one of just four shows to receive this accolade so far."
As a new event to the 'AMD Family', the Indian Riders Fest and its associated Budweis Indian Motorcycle Custom Show "has made great progress in terms of its status, backing and profile in the past 24 months. It represents a genuine first for AMD, and for the international custom motorcycle market in general, as the first show that is 100 percent dedicated to past and present Indian motorcycles," said Robin Bradley, Editor-in-Chief, American Motorcycle Dealer.
The Budweis Indian Motorcycle Custom Show is committed to showcasing young, rising and experienced custom builders with wild creativity and is open to all - regardless of experience or background. Prominently positioned next to the main stage, all participating bikes will be assessed by the international judging panel in six distinct classes, allowing each motorcycle to be judged on its own merits.
Chairing the judging panel will be Onno Wieringa, founder and owner of Madness Photography. Onno, an ambassador for AMD, has decades of knowledge and experience from running and judging many shows over several years. Conferred as President of Honor of the panel will be Ola Stenegärd, Director of Industrial Design for Indian Motorcycle, whose passion for customization is evident from his long history of producing show-winning builds.
"The custom world is on fire with cool builds based on every Indian Motorcycle model. Chops, bobs, baggers, trackers, you name it. The scene is just exploding with creative energy, and I'm super-stoked to see what builders will bring to the Budweis Indian Motorcycle Custom Show to display their creativity, skills and craftmanship," commented Stenegärd.
