Dan Collins has taken control of the bike section of the Ventura Nationals and we couldn't be happier!
"New ownership of the show is bringing some long overdue changes. Custom vans and vintage lowriders are now welcome. Also the bike part of the show that all but died off is coming back in a big way. This year Old Gold is sponsoring and organizing the motorcycle show within the Nats. There are custom trophies being made by seriously talented builders and fabricators, giveaways, special guests, vendors, and a motorcycle corral outside the show for non show bikes. The focus of the bike show is pre Evo American choppers and vintage tin, Brit bikes, Japanese choppers, cafe bikes etc. Baggers and billet barges will be allowed to park in the bike corral but not inside the show. This is the first year the show is open to Japanese brands. Evo sportsters and big twins that are customized and fit the show vibe will be allowed in at the discretion of the show employees. The entry is $15 for the bike and rider to participate in the show. There will be live music, food, artists, pinstripers etc. right accross from the beach at the Ventura County Fairgrounds which is the same location as the David Mann Chopperfest. Saturday August 31st. There are hand painted moon discs for the hot rods and customs and best chopper class. For the bike show I wanted to do something special so I hit up some people and we have custom made trophies being done by some great builders."
