Some shots from Timonium Bike Show in Maryland Sponsored by Lowside Magazine
I just got back from a 4 day trip down to Maryland for the Timonium Bike Show which was hosted by Lowside Magazine. We brought some bikes down to display and some custom handlebars and parts for people to check out.
I just want to start off by saying a huge thank you to Rich and all the crew from Lowside this is the first time I met them in person and they were an awesome group of guys and gals who showed us a great time down in Maryland and were friendly enough to shuffle us around and let us crash at their places etc. Needless to say we didnt leave much time for sleep and the 4 days seemed like an endless time of laughter and antics. It was nice to put some faces to the names that I constantly see Instagram activity from and nice to see some friends in the Industry that I dont get to see all the time like my local friends.
Big thanks to Jason from The Shop LINY for taking the trip down there with me. For anyone who follows my work and doesnt know Jay he is a great friend of mine and builds some absolute killer stuff. He is really on the down low when it comes to advertising etc. but he is on Instagram for anyone that wants to follow his work its @theshopliny
Always great to see Big Nick from Industry Customs since he moved out of our area, and Mike and James from 47 Industries in NJ I dont think we all stopped laughing at any point during that trip.
So here are just a few pics of what I had on my cellphone I should have taken more but we were too busy drinking and having a good time so this is all I got
Loading up the Greasy Dozen Panhead and the Shovelhead to take the trip down there

Off the lift
I got the bike off the lift today to see how it looks on the ground and Im liking it
I know its a little different than most people go with for a sissy and tail light etc and thats exactly what I wanted
I dont want this bike to get lost in a crowd of other old choppers
so heres what she looks like down on the ground

Rear Fender and Tail Light and Sissy are done
got a little more work done
big thanks again to Mike at 47 Industries for the custom axle with the Stainless head on it
Im not good at math and mike stepped in with his amazing algebra skills to get the axle figured out
so thanks again buddy I wouldnt have expected anything less from you
so onto the pics
and I finished up the rear fender and sissy and tail light setup
I really wanted a very minimal piece back here and it came out just like I had it pictured in my head
its all made of 304 stainless and I will be making a custom seat pan to fit up against it nice and tight
