Fighter Fest 09, Part 4. Saturday

Saturday was the big day. The weather was nice, the fairgrounds were packed and Fighter Fest itself had a very good turnout. Amongst the 20 some odd bikes that entered the judged fighter only show were numerous examples of creativity, craftsmanship and unique ideas. 4 pro builders showed up with a handful of really excellent machines. Crank-it Cycles out of Woodside, NY, XPO Streetfighter out of  Garden City Park, NY, FOH Cycle Fabrication of NJ and Choprockets out of VA. Roman, owner/opperator of FOH Cycle Fab walked away with top honors for the day, winning best of show 1st and 2nd place, Trickest bits and What the Fighter. It was nice to see some of the privatiers walk away with some awards as well. Especially when they’re your buds. Our buddy Eddie, ATLStreetfighter, walked away with farthest travled. Which was won by a slim 1 mile from our other bud, and last years winner Zr0. And the best award and most deservent, at laest for effort, was out buddy Rob, for Best Rat Fighter. This was the R6 in a box we spent the evening putting together the night befor. So that was nice little pat on the back for all involved.

The rest of this segment will be of pics from Saturdays show. There’s a lot. I’ll add some small captions as I can. Enjoy.

Saturday night was pretty tame and relaxed compared to Firday nights insanity. A huge thanks goes out to our Buddy Nole, Catman, for hooking us up with the best ribs I have ever eaten. Unfortunatley, he couldn’t make it this year, but he put in extra work and had them shipped in from OH just for us to enjoy. So agan, big props to Nole. Sorry we missed you bud, but once again, awesome job. It wouldn’t be Fighter Fest without them.

Here’s some shots of the CF crew heading over to the steak house for dinner.
