Results: Muskegon Bike Time Extreme Custom Bike Show

Muskegon is located on the shores of Lake Michigan and the breezes coming off the lake provide a welcome contrast to the summer heat and sizzling bikes at the Muskegon Bike Time Extreme Custom Bike Show.

Winners from the custom bike show emerged onstage to split a $4,000 purse and products from Bell Helmet, Avon Tires, Ridewright Wheels and HelmetLok.

Hoosier Daddy Choppers

One custom that received a lot of attention was Jon Shipley’s 2013 Firehouse Race. His motorcycle won the Modified Harley category and earned Shipley a spot in the 2nd Annual AMD Invitational Custom Bike Show  held in Milwaukee on the Harley-Davidson Museum campus in Milwaukee, Wisc. The Milwaukee event starts on Thursday, August 29, 2013 and runs through Sunday night on September 1, 2013.
