After taking 1st and 2nd place in Sacramento, we packed up and headed to Chicago for the Finals round February 12 - 14.  The show was lined with amazing custom motorcycles.  On the stage were bikes from popular companies; Jeremy Cupp of LC Fabrication, George Will of Chaos Cycles, Evan Favaro of Speakeasy Motors, and Cory Ness.  We also met and learned about some other builders with a lot of talent under their hats and some beautiful builds; Steve Iacona of Iacona Cycles, Jordan Dickinson of Union Speed & Style, Gary Capone of LeMani Moto, Nick Beaulieu of Forever Two Wheels, Mike McFadden of M&M Customs, and Tim Scates a backyard builder in Texas with 15 bikes under his belt.  Last year's winner Carl Pusser from Walkin' Tall Customs was on site as well.  We met a great group of guys and learned a lot about building custom motorcycles.  Jeremy Cupp took first place in Freestyle and Nick Beaulieu took 2nd place.  We had a great time, met great people, and walked away with the experience of a lifetime.  So honored to be a part of this and to be able to compete with this group of guys.
