3rd Annual Hot Bike Show Photo

The Von Dutch Kustom Booth at this years 3rd Annual Hot Bike Show took a different spin on things. Having the center point booth of the entire show called out for something special. For instance a 50' bamboo tilt up hut with a painted flying eye, Carson the tattoo artist slinging kustom ink, Tony the Pinstriper, www.pinstriper.com, pinning women, children and objects of all kinds just as Dutch would do.

This all encompassed by a multitude of cool lowbrow paraphernalia distributed by Dave Rievely, Materials Manager, in the erected Kustom Cycles store. Amongst the center of the 80' x 60' booth actual tiki carving was taking place. This announced twice each day with Polinesian drums and dancing. Off to the far corner a hip off beat lounge was created with actual palms and a bamboo wrap around setting to compliment and breeze such a constantly busy booth.

To top it off, if that just wasn't enough, 13 Von Dutch Kustom Cycles and a 56 Chevy Hot Rod set the roots to the Kustom Kulture display conceptualized and fabricated by Alex Mardikian and his familied workforce with an entrance sign saying "Welcome to our Luao" This event marked the sighting of the Newest member of Von Dutch Kustom Cycles, Dee Snider.

Known not just for his successful rock band Twisted Sister, actor of Strangeland, major radio personality, March of Dimes spokesman to name a few of the ongoing accomplishments of Mr. Snider, now he has added the Kustom Kulture to his list with his new found line of Choppers, Bobbers, Pro-Series and Kustom motorcycles in which he now represents.
