Natürlich ist "The Daily Chain" ein internationales Magazin mit einem Netz von Auslandskorrespondenten, die uns in unregelmäßigen Abständen mit Berichten und Fotos zu Bike Shows versorgen.
Hier ein Bericht von Tim Robinson, der sich die Timonium Bike Show in Maryland vom 07.-09. Februar für uns angesehen hat: 
Custombikes auf der Timonium Bike Show 2009
Today (7 Feb 09) my wife and I went to the Timonium Bike Show here in Maryland. It was one of the biggest shows I’ve ever been too. There was a lot of big names there to include the V-Force guys…they seemed to be popular. It took us about 4 hours to walk around to look at all the bikes and vendors, to include all the bikes that were rode there by the local bikers. There were some small companies that I’ve never heard off, but built some great bikes. It’s definitely a show that I will be going back to next year. Hope you enjoy the pics.

 Duckman's Cadbike 33 Words: Katharina Klimpke Photos: Volker Rost and The Daily Chain With his Cadbike 33 Mark "Duckman" van der Kwaak designed one of the most beautiful BMW's we ever have shown to you.
He is one of the Netherlands Top-Customizers, a man who is building dreambikes in a row. With his design shop DBBP (Duckman's Bitchin Biker Page) the native Australian Mark van der Kwaak, better known as "Duckman" made it up to more than 100 articles in the bike magazines, since 1991. Mark is working hard and fast. While we are writing about bike No.33, No.45 is finished, almost.
In the beginning Duckman's Cadbikes are nothing more than virtual journeys on a computer. With a CAD-Software Mark develops his bikes, including every important detail like rake, handling and other things to make a bike practicable. "The handling of a bike is exactly calculable", Mark sais, explaining his 3-D designs. Like all the bikes before, Mark started the design for the BMW Bobber on his computer, but it was a heart thing for him to bring it on the road, because it was one of his own bikes from the shop. In 2005 he began with rebuilding his old BMW R/51 and made the first designs.

Let's start with an international well known person: Dirk Behlau (aka. Pixeleye) - Graphic Designer & Photographer Dirk (born in the golden seventies in 1971) started his desing career at the age of 6 when he won a painting competition in the Bonn / Cologne Area in Germany. In high-school he created logos for local music bands, school theatre plays and discovered his passion for art & design. His art teacher, a great man who studied in the class of Joseph Beuys (one of the most important German artists of the 20th century), had a strong influence and showed him the world of Fluxus, Happening Art, Surrealism & Dadaism.

World Championship of Custom Bike Building 2008 - RESULTS
Goldammer Crowned World Champion again! After three and a half days of competition the Official World Championship of Custom Bike Building has drawn to a close. What began over a year ago with a series of 12 Affiliate shows, covering four continents and an estimated over 2,000 competitors, has culminated at the pinnacle of motorcycling's Holy Grail, Sturgis, South Dakota. This year's OWC has been held at Champions Hall in the heart of Sturgis, South Dakota. Since the opening of the hall on Sunday morning, thousands upon thousands of spectators have poured over the 68 motorcycles, which represent 13 different countries. People from all walks of life, from local residents to industry insiders, to the builders themselves, have spent many hours studying various aspects of the bikes, which represent the highest level of motorcycle craftsmanship and fabrication in the world. The competition was divided into four different classes, Metric, Modified Harley-Davidson, Production, and the creme de la creme, the Freestyle Class. The awards ceremony began promptly at 3:00 pm CST with master of ceremony Chris McGee keeping the packed hall of anxious competitors and spectators entertained. With each winner being announced the anticipation level grew and grew. Before getting to the class winners McGee announced the winners of the Partners Picks of Excellence. These were motorcycles selected by partners of the OWC, which they felt represented the best use of their parts. With no time to waste McGee jumped into the announcement of the overall winner of the Metric Class, Jim Giuffra of AFT Customs, located in Martell, California, with his entry Er Hed.
