Swiss bike tuner wins trip to Abu Dhabi
Parallel to SWISS-MOTO, the Customizing & Tuning Show Swiss-Custom ran again this year. In addition to professional bike builders and creative backyard mechanics from Switzerland, significantly more internationally renowned customizers and parts manufacturers from Germany, Italy and Kuwait demonstrated the fine art of customizing. The coveted title of "Best of Show" was secured by the bike "Deep Throat" from Müller Motorcycles in Germany thanks to a large number of custom builds and a unique, three-piece tank.
The special prize "Swiss-Custom Pick" was awarded this year to Pinus Schnyder from Switzerland, who managed to convince the jury with his perfectly restored and self-modified Harley-Davidson from 1947. Both bikes will now make the journey to the Emirates Custom Show in Abu Dhabi in March to compete against the elite of the custom scene.
