We wanted to do something to honor not just a ‘chopper builder’ but a great man who would give anybody the shirt off his back. He’s made a name for himself as one of the nation’s top builders, and widely respected throughout the motorcycle industry. As many of you know, Bill managed West Coast Choppers for many years and decided to move to Daytona to do his own thing. Called the ‘Bill Dodge Award of Excellence’, This prestigious award is named after our long time, legendary friend, Bill Dodge of Daytona’s own Blings Cycle. The Invitational is to be capped on Sunday with the Builders Choice Award.
We’ll have more than 50 mind boggling custom choppers of pure excellence. Our impressive list includes Kyle Ray Rice, Jared Weems of Weems Motor Co, Richard Ruckus of It’ll Ride Choppers, Del Morte Customs, Alleyway Kustoms, Good Looking Customs, Turners Cycle Shop, Freakshow Fab, Ronin Vintage and Yogi’s Garage.
