1st Day of
Fall
Old School Chopper and Hot Rod Show and Swap
July. 12, Virginia Beach, Va.
Ok, what happens when three total gear heads with big hearts get bored….have a car and bike
show, and a swap meet on top of it for charity of course! Three weeks to prepare, make flyers, build
the trophies, secure a venue….not that we are procrastinators….that’s just how we roll.
Three guys, Mike Boyce (professional painter and a kick ass bike builder), Cyril Albert (scariest
leprechaun you’ve ever met and a fantastic Harley mechanic) and yours truly (jack of all trades,
master of none….) decided that the push and polish car and bike shows that have become so “de
rigueur” in the area were long over due for a make-over. We’ve all been to the shows….lots of
pretty, shiny things….some even get driven or ridden to the event, but we are guys who ride those
bikes that most people look at and simply shake their heads. Not much chrome (if any), usually
basic black (when they have paint on them…) and exhaust that would make Mr. Vance and Mr.
Hines blush. We were looking for the roots of the revolution…to see if they were still out there hiding
in the back lot shops where choppers and hot rods got there start over 60 years ago, where guys
wore dark blue jeans, black boots and had a pack of Luckys rolled up in their t-shirt sleeve….there
still there folks, alive and kicking.
The looks for some have changed….board shorts instead of jeans, van’s sneakers instead of
black boots, and the Dickie’s shirts….(well… some things never go out of style), but the attitude
hasn’t. Low, loud and damn near unridable, the formula for cool hasn’t changed in a very long time.
This being the first event, we didn’t expect a big crowd, and we weren’t disappointed…there
were about ten entries in the show, four or five truck and trailers full of guys hawking parts out of the
back but the day was packed with people pulling up on proper vintage pan heads and cutting edge
supercharged customs, 50’s vintage hot rods and 60’s era muscle cars, all with the same thing to
say about the event…..”cool….it’s about time someone’s done this”.
The swap meet for those who brought their cast away parts was profitable, the show for those
stuck around all day was great…(so few entries, everyone got a trophy!), Tim and his staff from
Baker St. were so accommodating and supportive, mother nature gave us one of her finest and
we raised some money for a great cause…the Currituck County High School auto-tech program.
Under the tutelage of their teacher Mark Wooton, a bunch of high school kids put together an ’03 Fat
Boy that runs on bio-diesel, now if that’s not a program worth supporting, I don’t know what is. Mark
and his kids exemplify the type of “outside the box” thinking hot-rodders and bobber builders live
on…(plus, that thing smells like a rolling KFC!)
Special thanks to all those dedicated people who thought enough of the event to stick it out all day
with us, you guys are the greatest…from the 330mm tire hand built customs to the old school VW low-
rider, everything and everyone there could have their picture in the dictionary next to the word “cool”.
Thanks again everyone, hope to see more of you there next time…(Aug. 16th!!!!!!!!! @ Baker St.
Restaurant!)

During the awards and with microphone in hand, Tami
shook her head in disbelief and uttered to the crowd “I still
can’t believe this man is at my show”. The man she spoke of
is none other than Donnie Smith, a true legend in the motor-
cycle world. And as Tami calls him “the Godfather of Custom
Motorcycles. Donnie is one of the innovators of the “custom
motorcycle”. It was his influence over the years that help mold
the long lean look of the “custom”. But not to be left out, Don-
nie brought along his longtime love, Dawn Williams. But don’t
