As an organizer of the “Midwests greasiest Hot Rod Show” i have a deep understanding of the effort it takes to put on a good quality hot rod or bike show. There are lots of grass roots non big corporate butthole shows that just exist purely because of the love for a specific genre of vehicle. The traditional hot rod scene has the hunnertcarpileup, billetproof, paso, lonestarroundup etc etc.
The bike scene has a different twist.. You have the harley crowd.. which essentially has the big shindig in sturgis.. and you have the rest of the guys.. the i am a biker and i dont grow my beard long and refuse to take showers crowd.

Those guys have clubs like the “Ton Up Club” in Chicago.. http://www.tonupchicago.com/ who put on the Mods vs. Rockers show. Another bunch of fellas up in Milwaukee throw a show every year called RockerBox…  a show that i am hoping to go to this year.. RockerBox http://www.rockerbox.us/index.htm
