Vindikta

Holiday rush overwhelming you already? Cruise on down to the coast and visit the David Mann Chopperfest in Ventura. The location is right on the beach, and enjoy the creative bikes that fellow bikers have built. Vindikta will be there vending, so look for us in the vendor area!

ChopperFest will be held at the Ventura County Fairgrounds this Sunday, December 12th 2010 from 8am-4pm. ChopperFest is a tribute to David Mann featuring a New and Old Skool Motorcycle Show, Custom Bike Builder Displays, New and Used Parts Swap Meet, Motorcycle Vendors, Art Display, Live Blues Rock Bands, Food and Beer. This signature event gathers together those who honor the lifestyle depicted in David Mann’s artwork and appreciate the many custom “Chopper” designs spawned by his unique imagination. Past participants have included Russell Mitchell, Chica, Dave Perewitz, Keith Ball, Donny Smith, Scott Long and Gard Hollinger. As always, David Mann’s wife Jacquie will fly out from Kansas City to present the “hand crafted and one of a kind Bike Show trophies.” To top it all off, a rare original painting by the master himself will once again grace the event T-Shirts and promotions. A portion of all proceeds will go to the David Mann Memorial Fund.

I ran across this on Raven’s Brain today and just had to share. The owner/builder of this bike is unknown but this is the ultimate Halloween ride!
