A special event of the 2012 Springfield Motorcycle Show was the Northeast “Best of the Best Build-Off,” sponsored by Trantolo & Trantolo.  This exciting motorcycle competition took place over our three day show and pit four great bike building shops against each other.  Only one came out on top to be named the “Best of the Best!”

Find out now who was the big winner!

 

The Northeast “Best of the Best Build-Off” featured the following shops:

From Middle Island, NY is Deadwood Choppers.  Jack from Deadwood has been building bikes and winning competitions for years.  He has a deep passion for building stunning bikes and fulfilling the vision of his clients.  Check out this beauty he built named, “Dead Man’s Hand.”

 

Next up in the competition is Satan Cycles out of Selkirk, NY.  These guys have plenty of build-off experience under their belt.  They were the build-off champs at the blackthorn resort in September 2009.  Take a look at their namesake ride.

 

Coming down from the North, we have Ready Customs from Chester, NH.  Owner, Shaun Ready, prides himself on the details and is a master welder who is passionate about building true works of art.  For Shaun, “If it’s not perfect, it’s not a Ready Custom.” 

Just take a look at Shaun’s first notable build named, “Hard Luck.”  This radical bike is quite a vision to behold. 

 

and finally, we have the Northeast Chop Shop from Windham, Maine.  Jason Grimes runs the show at this custom motorcycle and hot rod establishment.  Although Jason builds spectacular custom rides, he prides himself in keeping his creations affordable for his clients.  The Northeast Chop Shop was featured in the June 2011 issue of Barnett’s Magazine and you can see the bike that made the cover below.

As you can see, each of these builders are masters of their craft.
