Chopperfest 2016
In its 13th year, Chopperfest once again delivered an amazing display of custom motorcycles, talented artists, and good times with perfect weather along the central California coast in Ventura. This year, in fact, happened to be the biggest and best Chopperfest yet, with more custom motorcycles, more artists, more vendors, and the biggest audience of showgoers seen yet.
Chopperfest originated after the passing of famed biker and lifestyle artist David Mann. Bike builders and artist from across the nation came together to create an event that would pay homage to David’s love for the art of the motorcycle and the lifestyle associated with it.
This year for Chopperfest there was an invasion of FXRs and Dynas to add some extra flavor to an already stellar collection of bikes that are shown each year. We thought it was a good addition to the show and hope to see it grow bigger in the future. Every year we make sure to attend Chopperfest as it has one of the coolest vibes, best locations, and great collection of show bikes of any event we attend. We highly recommend checking it out.
