Every year the Calgary Motorcycle show rolls into town, and as much as I love bikes, I always debate if I should go or not. I always think it will be the same thing, local dealers blowing out previous year stock, the manufacturers showing off the latest models, and the wild card as always the customs.

This year there was actually very little that I saw that had some custom paint. I am not sure if it was the economy, or just that big choppers and their $30,000 plus price tag just makes it a really expensive cruiser, especially with makes like honda coming in with a chopper style bike at $15000.

Anyways the Revelation bike was probably the nicest bike at the show, the owner indicated that it took him three years to paint it, and I can say it was pretty impressive work.

Other choppers seemed to have the typical skull and fire themes to them. Don’t get me wrong, I love skulls and fire, I just miss stuff that is neat that I would never get painted myself, like lasts years peacock bike.

Of course being a big MotoGP fan I had to post a couple pictures of Rossi’s bike from the Yamaha booth.
