AMD European Custom Motorcycle Championship points way for custom industry
If you needed any more evidence that the American custom motorcycle industry is derivative, uninspired and, well, completely and utterly lame, here it is. Entrants in the AMD European Custom Motorcycle Championship include bikes that are original, imaginative and, wait for it, functional. Take the CCCP Skoal Bandit for instance. Its aggressive and cartoonish supermoto stance instantly makes any raked-out chopper look limp-wristed. But still present is the ubiquitous air-cooled twin, making this a bike that will appeal to the traditional custom customer as well as new ones.

That BMW is beautiful, and the Ice Racer looks like it rolled out of a comic book. Very neat. A harley lump would not be my first choice when looking to power a supermoto, though.
definitely Ice Racer. those wheels are badass.
I wouldn't choose a Harley engine either, but it's just so relieving to see customizers from that world finally doing something new.
