Ormond Beach, FL — Chillin’ at Willie’s Tropical Tattoo Old School Chopper Show is a Bike Week tradition. “Hardcore” and “old-school” are terms that would describe some of the bikes AND some of the patrons. You’ll run into just about everyone here, from motorcycle magazine editors to biker gang members — but the vibe is friendly, just a group of enthusiasts getting together to look at some cool machines and socialize. Plaques are awarded in a variety of categories: Best Flathead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Sportster, Knucklehead, EVO, Sportster, Brit Bike, Japanese Bike, Hardcore, Trailer Trash, Willie’s Choice, and Best of Show — along with a trophy or two. No great monetary rewards here, but bragging rights from this event carry some old-school cred!
Thanks for sharing these photos. So glad the rain stopped for the show… the only day it has rained during Bike Week.
I’m glad it only rained in the morning and cleared out by the afternoon… it could have been worse.
