10 August. World Championship of custom items. The results were surprising-as usual.
The property in such events is a subjective house, in this case, which left behind a lot of interesting machines, and behind the feature of the prize three-serious favorites. Another reason to surprise is the vast abundance of complex and expensive projects, and this is after several years of the course of the kastomysers on minimalism. (But the economic crisis didn' t stop!)) The main 'bomb', conceived by the organizers, is the Permormance Custom class, which has come to the place of the exhausted Metrics-promised many, but never "Rvanula". However, these, uh, nuances did not spoil the impressions of the World Cup as the main event in the world of kastomazing. Evidence of volume and level of work and geography of participants. And, objectively, reflection of dominant and rising trends. World Champion, 1st place in the Freestyle class: Tavax 2011V. Tavox Engineering, Japan. Cafopper, bio, dieselpunk ... The midpoint of fashion trends and solutions could not leave the jury indifferent, just like attention to detail. It's external. The technical part is nothing special (less, perhaps, the original forks). Motor S & S SH93, 5 mortar, Marchesini sports bike rims. That's not a "white" poo-poo. So Ken Tabatah is not an Aryman himself! 2nd place in the Freestyle class: Son of Gun. Lamb Engineering, England. Larry Hilton, this time, proved himself to be a fusion genius. The recipe is the same as his Cafe Rouge three years ago: to cross British units (this time BSA is a Gold Star and a box of M21) with a techno-vanguard chassis. Cafferers is banal? It may be that, if not extravagant in every detail (from the "covered" forks to the cunning rear suspension), the overall canonicality of the silhouette. It is interesting that the project was spent on $9,000-and over 14,000 hours of work! Kraus Motor Co., USA. Gerasim, why? Yeah, cafetoppers is a little trendy. Yes, the motorbike is perfect in every detail, and it's not American delicately. But third place is a set of platitudes ... Motor S & S SH 93, box Baker, Beringer brakes, 17-inch wheels ... But the rear tire is 170/60! Maybe the jury would like to encourage the fact that the motorcycle is not only able to growl and make a good look, but it's good to go, and not only in a straight line? The Freestyle class was not seen as cool as it is, and as for the fitness for this life, the Freestyle class was not seen in the Freestyle class. Although the "car" frame is definitely dead. 4th place in the Freestyle class: Spacester. V-Mechanic, France. If you think that Buell with the "arraice" frame is wrong. The Sportster 1200 is inserted into the steel frame of pipes and profiles. Three-inch wall plug for R1, 18-inch wheels, two "orbiter" front wheels and ... scooter hydraulics! What to do, the French have always been masters of ... And at the desk, too. 5th place in Freestyle class: RK S. RK Concepts, USA. More and more of the World Cup participants are building machines for the road, not for furniture, but self-sustaining crap is also caught. And even as we can see, it hits the top ten. The asymmetrical asymmetrical design is extremely curious, but not in combination with the "300" rear container, the front suspension spring and the absence of the front brake. How do you sit on that piece of prison bars? "Abstractionists!" 6th place in Freestyle class: Stargate. Garage 65, Italy. The winner of the European Championship took only the sixth place. I'm telling you, put the bar on the soap! The work of Marco Cinquini deserved to go much-both from conceptual and from designer and from engineering points of view. Aluminum (national team) with its integrated compressor (!), the engine-based (!) engine, the tank in the pendulum, the "wheel brake" Brakko with the orbital discs located inside the wheels (!!!!)-the revival of forgotten hands-choppers occurred at a fundamentally different level, but was left unnoticed by the jury. 7th place in the Freestyle class: Slugger. SE Service, Sweden. Augmented and reworked Harrier, the year before the prize winner of the World Cup. The opposit is now with the turbine, the baby's rear suspension has been replaced with one's own, the front remains the same arrangement with the same ropes, but it has been done anew, just like the frame, and "weight". The last, to the word, with the gas tank in the tail, like many of the participants in the championship. The evolution of a successful car was just perfectionist. This is the only thing that has happened in the Freestyle class: Skywalker's Caddy. Moscow Harley-Davidson, Russia. In the light of the overflight of the Garage 65, the eighth place of this machine looks small with a jury. The work of Fitilla and K. was definitely worth more. What, you don't like the proportions of the machine? That's the picture of the motorcycle in the "parking" position. The "combat" and the rake and the hydraulics are set to normal. And there's a motor cycle, a steering wheel, a S.S., a 1932 carburetor, an aluminum "weight" ... In short, this "mechanical motor cycle with mechanical logic" has no equal on the show-and therefore deserves a separate, focused and extensive consideration. Which we promise to do in the next room. 1st place in the Modified Harley class: Union. AbnormalCycles, Italy. One of the few units that had been modified in the spirit of "oldova" simply could not but be the winner in the class. The case is not in the stroller (although the new trend of the jury could not support it); the main thing in the machine on the basis of the unshabby H. -D. U (known in our 30s as "twenty-two") -The highest level of performance. All of it is from spring plugs to the wooden seat of the coal. It is also the most delicate approach to design: even kind of a vintage detail (e.g., the front brake drum with developed orb) looks as if it was at the time of the birth of "donor". 1st place in the class Production Bike: RLX. Darwin Motorcycles, USA. Earlier, in the absence of the cook in the class, Kiwi's Rejoinder was leading. RLX, as you can see, a direct opposite. A glossing platitude (but not alapovast or even more engineering illiteracy!) Street with motor S & S X-Wedge 132, bakerovskaya six-mortar, Berger's brakes, carboxylic wheels, and jolinian pendants-what else is needed for a hellish scavenger? 1place in Performance Custom: Sentoh. AFT Customs, USA. It was a natural nightingle for the bird that befell the nomination "debutante". No "garage", pure caste! Motor-prokalated C750, native frame frame, reinforced pendulum from TR1 ... Tasteful and tasteful. And in the style of the motorcycle you will not refuse-as was the case in the female battalion AFT Customs, an atelier, which is a model agency. (Though, where are these oarsmen from Moscow? "!
