2010 Brooklyn Invitational

It is very hard for me to concede anything to the left coast, and it hurts all the more when the word "motorcycle" is in the title. With that being said... The east coast is not known for the quality of it's bike shows. While we make up for this shortcoming by being overwhelmingly awesome in every other conceivable way, this quality of life issue has always caused pain and discomfort for the east coast motorcycling community. This injustice has finally been addressed by the White Knights of Brooklyn. Wes Lang and his hardworking team of furious mutherfuckers present the Brooklyn invitational bike show. For the second year the Knights have exceeded expectations and have produced a world class bike show. I can't think of anything that was lacking, brilliant bikes, brilliant folks and a never-ending supply of beer. If you live on the east coast and missed it, you can restore your faith in humanity by not missing it again. Find out more about the W.K.I.T.H.O.K.

Yeah east coast and west coast are always in a tangle, it keeps them from realizing that the midwest just laughs because obviously we are superior. See you there next year!

the BI was a blast. actually the show was good but the three days i spent
in Brooklyn were rad as shit. dudes tearing up the streets and blasting
at high speed from one spot to the next. those bumpy ass streets
destroyed my battery and shook my ignition switch to death! lots of cool
shit happen on the east coast, just hasn't been diluted yet. i spent the
majority of my time during the show at a merch table selling raffle tickets.
but i got to see the bikes during set up just be for the doors opened. at one
point i was in the gallery almost totally alone with all those awesome builds.
that weekend changed the way i look this whole scene. see ya next year!

"WC Invitees?"

Had to fill the gaps as some of the east coasters wouldn't even show up in their backyard.

if only this could happen every month or so instead of just once a year. It was a great time and some of the bikes parked outside the show were just as great as some that were parked inside!

The Brooklyn show was real dreamy to say the least. We were stoked to be a small part of it to raise some money for Lee Bender's fight against MS. Thanks to the Knights and everyone that gave. It's so different than not so long ago when quality east coast shit was so few and way too far between. Because of guys like them, Walter, Joe Zito, the Baltimore crew, the Death Science squad and others the wait and miles continue to fall off as the east coast always takes a beating each winter but won't stay down. I hope the rate of acceleration doesn't top off anytime soon. It takes people to stop just wishing there was more and just doing shit to make it happen. What we throw in the mix may not be as professional, clean and magnetic as the Brooklyn jam but mark your calendar, get a baby sitter for the weekend and give your liver a rest. The middle east coast will rise again this spring not long after the thaw. The Ride to Skate 5 is on and has some noticable tweaks this year. Including an actual ride, bike show, maybe some camping and possibly a couple other twists and turns. The 4th time around brought a crapload of quality bikes and good people that made the haul from some pretty far off places. We were striaght up shocked shitless at the turnout, amount of support and good vibes just from spreading the word and deciding to make something happen that we would want to go to. Thanks to our brothers in arms from neighboring cities, this next gang bang will make the last feel like getting to 2nd base in comparison. Friday, May 13th is the preparty and it's pretty much all downhill from there. The east coast revolt continues. Stay tuned. -FOTS-
