2007 European Championship of Custom Bike Building
The 2007 European Championship of Custom Bike Building, in Mainz Germany, was the most culturally diverse in the event’s history, with competitors and bikes coming from as far away as the USA, Russia and Japan.

The Time Machine (tribute to H.G. Wells)
The winner bike on the biggest and most respectable custom event in Europe was brought there from Eastern Europe, beautiful Hungary.

Rock'N Mainz
The look of the rat rod/rockabilly car with white walls, red trim, and solid wheels is timeless.

The Crosser
This bike is inspired by a racer in 1924 Pikes Peak international Hill Climb, Colorado, exhausting event - the world's highest race.

Goodwood by Krugger
So, again old school! But here is quite new outlook at this style. As Krugger said on his website: “I think that the new tendency will be tres 70’s, cafe racer, more racer that cafe…:-)”

TGS Motorcycles - German heroes
And here is finally the German competitor! TGS Motorcycles is the only workshop, got in top ten and defended proud of the host country of championship.

Oomega by Chemical Chopper
“OK, it's not made for touring Europe, but it's rideable and I've ridden it...”, written in the additional information list in Championship documents.

Cadbike'31. Kwaak's creation.
Mr Van der Kwaak is a great designer and a man who does know how to treat with 3D CAD, so he is making virtual customs one by one (amazing ones, by the way!)

Boomerang by Petri Ruusunen
Again Finland and again Turku, the capital of customizing in Suomi. Petri Ruusunen built spectacular bike with a Panhead engine.

Mod Chopper 2 by Hide Motorcycle Factory
It was a surprise for me! I don’t want to tell that I was excellent student but I still remember some geography lessons. I can bet that Japan is not the Europe.

Só Bike by Müce Choppers
It’s very symbolic that the top ten is beginning and finishing by Hungarian builders. I was on Harley-Davidson fest on Balaton Lake last year and was really surprised by the number and quality of custombikes there.

Helter Skelter by TGS - Best in CCE class
Here is the bike I already wrote about. The pride and honor of Germany, TGS company won this 1-st CCE class prize.

P-Tang by Young Choppers - number 1 in Modified Harley-Davidson
Again just one geographic question, you know which one… I like bikes of Hank Young very much, his Flying Pan is amazing and all new creations are brilliant, but he is…

Brake the rules
Don't hide your awesome billet wheels behind a big rotor and caliper. Finally…a brake that functions better than conventional systems and is completely contained in a five-inch hub spacer around the axle, it looks like there's no brake at all!
