Steel Horse Law Best of the Beach Bike Show Winners
The Best of the Beach Custom Bike Show, by USRiderNews , in Panama City Beach Florida was held April 30th in beautiful Pier Park shopping complex. This is the official bike show of the Thunder Beach Rally is the most prestigious show on the Emerald Coast and has the largest prize purse of any show in Florida. Leading motorcycle industry companies Kuryakyn, RC Components, Mustang Seats, HHI, Renegade Wheels, Wimmer Performance, Jireh Cycles, Custom Dynamics, Wizards Products and R & R Trikes provide cash and prizes worth over $15,000 to the class winners. Additionally, the Best of the Beach is the only show during the Thunder Beach rally which is sanctioned by the International Master Bike Builders Association.
Scott Cochran, show coordinator and Editor of USRiderNews said the magazine uses only IMBBA judges for the Best of the Beach shows. ”There is $15,000 in prize money and gift certificates on the line for this show and it’s critical that we use individuals who are qualified to judge the technical correctness of the entries. This year we had some wild entries in several categories which would have stumped amateur judges.”

Dave Enting was one of the “wild” entries with his homemade trike. After the show, Dave praised the judging methodology used by the IMBBA. “I wanted to explain that “technical correctness” was the primary driving force for the design of my trike because this is what raises safety to its highest level…(Isee) what IMBBA is all about is technical correctness. I support the IMBBA 100%.
The next Steel Horse Law Best of the Beach bike show is scheduled for Saturday October 1st. Pre-registration is $35 and may be purchased online here.
