Bold In Blue

June 18, 2018 | By Mike Seate

We’ve been going through images of previous Reader’s ride-In Custom Shows trying to determine whether any of the highly skilled builders who’ve won past awards will be back this August 11. We came across this amazing piece of classic Honda workmanship that rolled in completely unexpected two years ago. The owner was youthful Andy Frederick who- shock of shocks- had never before attempted to crate his own custom motorcycle. The sleek, heavily modded CB350 proves that you don’t require decades of experience and a mortgage-sized budget to roll on a set of remarkable wheels. Just eight short weeks remain to get your entries ready for this year’s event and we’re hoping to see a few more Andy Fredericks come Saturday morning. Oh yeah- in case you’re in town the night before the show, stop by the Slippery Mermaid sushi restaurant, located at 613 Beaver Street, in the heart of Sewickley for a free glass of quality bourbon whiskey courtesy of Rebel yell, one of our proud sponsors. There’s be a few of the choice machines that we’ve built in the pages of Cafe Racer magazine on display and a chance to meet the staff. It all starts at 5 p.m. sharp.
