David Mann Chopper Fest in Ventura

This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of attending the David Mann Chopper Fest in Ventura. It was truly one of the best shows I've attended.  There were bikes, miscellaneous parts for sale, more bikes, David Mann art, and more bikes.

Unfortunately, I had to drive the car there.  My bike was still awaiting the painted tins. Although, this was very fortunate for my nephew, who I asked to join me.

The day was beautiful.  It was unlike any day in December that I can remember - the temp in the 80s and perfect riding weather.

I managed to snag a few pics worth sharing.  The parking lot had many bikes and a few cool cars.  The show had more bikes on display, attempting to earn some of the awards being handed out.

All in all, it was a great day and I look forward to next year's event.

There were tons of cool bikes.  Some of them classics, some rat bikes, and some crazy customs.  Here's a few - not necessarily the best bikes, but different.

Here's a few bikes that some of the vendors had on display.

My wife would hate this 1 due to her hate for odd numbers.

And here are a few images of vehicles found in the parking lot.
