The Rally Bikes - General







There were many customised bikes and some heavily customised. Every bike is different, depending on what extras the owners may have put on them. Some simply add off the shelf extras, but others have paint jobs done on the tanks, fenders and frames. One even had denim on the fenders and tank, complete with hip pocket!
Although maybe not so impressive in the photo, the bike with the exhausts like gatling guns was the bike show peoples' choice winner. Not easy to see are the nitrous oxide tanks fitted into each side of the petrol tank for performance! It was on the pavement outside our hotel, but we agreed we didn't agree with the peoples' choice. The other was just one of many at the rally itself.
Some will spend considerable sums on custom paint jobs and other will spend even larger sums on custom bikes and choppers..........
