Mountain Fest Celebrates 5th Year Anniversary!
Cycle Source Magazine’s Annual Custom Chopper Show that had previously been held in Pittsburgh the past seven years, found a new home in Morgantown, West Virginia during their annual Mountain Fest Rally in 2008. This year event will be held on Saturday July 25th at Mylan Park. You can read more about this event in the June issue of Cycle Source
This previously annual event that attracted 10,000 local riders for a 1-day show made a seamless transition to the new venue and filled the indoor arena with over 100 quality custom bikes. This year we are expecting the show to gain momentum after having such a great event in 2008 and will expect the number of bikes in the show to double.
There are 57 trophies in 25 separate classes with a Best of Show for Pro and Open divisions and it costs nothing to enter. The judging is carried out by teams of judges that look over every square inch of the machine with experience and an eye for detail. This IS a ride in show so no points will be subtracted for road grime, but extra points will be given for hand crafted parts.
To be eligible to win Best Of Show in either Pro Or Open you MUST HAVE WON YOUR CLASS. If your bike isn’t good enough to winn your class it can’t be pulled out of the crowd as the best bike of the show.
Classes are as follows:
Big Twin

Mild Custom 1st 2nd & 3rd
