Walking into Ag Hall at the Allentown Fairgrounds, you would never think that they could pull off a flat track race within the walls of this small exposition center.
However, The two day Lehigh Valley Motorcycle Expo promised to do just that. And for the second year in a row, Bill Rowe and his crew successfully brought AMA-sanctioned flat track racing to Allentown, Pennsylvania; providing a nice mid-winter reprieve for both racers and flat track fans.
The Cycle Showcase St.Louis event has grown over the years to encompass a broad range of custom and collectable vintage motorcycles. Each covering completely different styles, genres and eras but all coming together under one roof as an impressive display well worth the wait. Now in it’s 6thyear the show found it’s way to “The Pageant,” a famous concert venue with multiple levels and balconies where you could view the motorcycles from every angle imaginable.
Since the early fifties, The Asbury Park Convention Hall, on the famous New Jersey boardwalk, has hosted countless doo-wop, punk and rock shows. And in 2016, the Convention Hall added the Cheap Thrills Motorcycle Show and Swap Meet to its roster.
Each year since, Walter (@kickstartcycle) and Dusty (@dusty_nj), with the help of a small army of friends and sponsors, like Old Bike Barn and Lowbrow Customs (to name a few), have been filling the convention hall’s Grand Arcade with 60-80 custom and vintage motorcycles.
New England winters are no joke. They can be brutally cold and it snows a lot. These conditions usually lead to a few months of hibernation, for both man and machine. Fortunately, for all of those North-Easterners fighting off the mid-winter blues, a few years ago, Joe Weiss and Jay Roche from the New Tradition Company together with John Repetto of The Eazy Company decided to throw the first New Tradition Motorcycle Show. Now in the fourth year, the show is a welcome dose of motorcycles and friends during a time of year when everyone is spending more time in their garages than on their bikes.
