2011 LA Calendar Motorcycle Best Of Show Winner

OFF THE WIRE

On Saturday July 16th, the 20th annual Los Angeles Calendar Motorcycle Show returned next to the historic Queen Mary ocean liner in Long Beach, CA. The show was held in a new, and smaller location (Seawalk Village which replicates an old British seaside town), a reflection of the economy which has impacted the motorcycle industry so hard the last few years.
Custom Builder Jim Giuffra and the beautiful “spokes models” of AFT Customs created two all-new customs bikes to premier at this year’s building championship. Their very unique and original 1970 Honda CB750 based custom sport bike named “Sentoh” was voted Best of Show. It features a hand built perimeter frame, a single Mikuni HSR45 carb fed 4-tract induction system, hand made exhaust and kickstart system and modern RaceTech racebike suspension and Beringer brakes.
