It’s just about here – on Friday afternoon we swing open the doors to the Western Fair District Agriplex in for the 9th World of Motorcycles Expo and the first London Bicycle Show presented by Action Trailers.

One admission price, two shows, everything on two wheels!

Regardless of what the groundhog just said about spring, it’s time to get your ride ready. Whether it means buying a new bike, a used one, accessories, leather, insurance, training or finding a new place to ride – it’s all at the World of Motorcycles Expo.

Hundreds of bikes are registered for the Custom Bike Awards and they’re competing for your vote for Molson People’s Choice. This year we have many new and vintage bikes we’ve never seen before! The Trevor Bodogh Mountain Bike Action Show performs throughout the weekend, free with admission and there’s so much more.

And for the first time, we welcome some of London’s finest cycling experts to the first London Bicycle Show – a simultaneous exhibit, included with admission also featuring custom and vintage bicycles as old as the 1890’s.

The World of Motorcycles Expo is a family show and to that end we have a new family admission package; Two adults and two kids under 15: $25! That’s a saving of $21.

Our other admission rates are the same as 2012: $15 adults, $8 youth (8-15), 7-and-under free. Friday is ladies’ night – women get in for $8.

The World of Motorcycles Expo - London – presented by Action Trailers. February 8, 9, 10, 2013 Western Fair Agriplex. Friday: 4-9 pm. Saturday: 9-9. Sunday: 9-5. Free parking!

We are less than a week away from the 9th World of Motorcycles Expo and London Bicycle Show presented by Action Trailers.

Make plans to join us and check out what´s new for riding this spring. We´ve got dozens and dozens of sweet custom bikes entered in the competition including several vintage models we´ve never had at the show before.

Whether you´re new to riding or a veteran we´ve got you covered from training courses to riding groups to charity rides to insurance, gear, accessories, parts and - oh yeah- hundreds and hundreds of bikes!

See you at the show!
Friday Feb 8 4-9.
Sat Feb 9 9-9
Sunday Feb 10 9-5
Western Fair District Agriplex on Florence Street

Custom bike builders, pro and amateur, are the heart and soul of the World of Motorcycles Expo.

Men and women spend thousands of hours on their "babies" adding chrome, custom paint and so many other ways they set their rides apart from everyone else´s.

Professional judges rank them in various categories while thousands of show-goers just enjoy them.

It costs nothing to enter and the payoff can be huge!

Simply fill out a form (on this website under Forms) and send it to lisambrandt1@gmail.com or fax it to 519-438-2407.

We already have dozens and dozens of beautiful rides signed up to show.

So, why not yours?

Again this year, Dave Green Custom Cycle will exhibit some of their latest creations. Dave lives and works right in our backyard., from his shop in Aylmer, ON.
His wife Kim tells his story....
"His earliest trophy was 1974, Dave was just 12 years old, and he won a model contest. He tells me he had drawers and drawers full of miscellaneous model car parts which he would mould and fabricate into unique builds.
He began showing custom motorcycles at the London Bike Show in 1983, a Honda, I attached a picture, and this picture was used as our wedding announcement, not your typical engagement photo!
Dave is a licensed body technician, and over the years I´ve lost count of the numerous bikes and cars that he has built. It was in the late 90´s that he concentrated more on motorcycles and less on cars, he claims that a motorcycle takes up less space in the garage, and they take a lot less time to complete. Our son Kyle joined the business in 2006 as a licensed Harley Davidson technician, he has also built some awesome bikes, they make a great team! Their bikes have sold right across Canada and the USA.
The motorcycle business has taken us to great places and we´ve met amazing people along the way. I remember in 1997 Dave built a custom Sportster for the Daytona Beach Boardwalk Show. This was about the same time television started to make custom bike builders huge celebrities, Dave was waiting in line, in front of another builder, who thought that he was much more important and should be let in sooner, I can still hear Dave telling him in so few words, F*** You, I was first. That builder was Cyril Huze, and Dave won his Sportster class.
It was in Florida that Dave was fortunate to have his bikes noticed by American Iron Magazine. He was featured in three of their magazines, 2002, 2005, & 2008. He was also honoured to have one of his custom baggers in Bagger Magazine in 2008. You will also find quotes from Dave in a book that guides want to be chopper builders by Russ Austin and Michael Benson.
Dave has also enjoyed being on TV shows such as Biker TV, where he raced a Harley Davidson (loves to race, the faster the better), and A Channel Breakfast Television, he certainly isn´t shy in front of a camera. His confidence and track record of building beautiful custom motorcycles also caught the attention of a production company that featured four of Dave´s builds on a DVD called "Choppers - Mild to Wild".
The Bike Shows are what he looks forward to, the people who love bikes, as well as the other builders. He´s shown in Toronto, London, Daytona, and he even did a live weekend build at a show in Tillsonburg called Metal Fest.
I do want to mention that Dave feels it´s very important to give back to our community, and because of this we started a Rotten Road Ride in 2005. It´s a great day where we do a scoot and shoot, give away t-shirts and great door prizes, as well as a free barbeque. Registration for this ride is donations only, and all donations go to the local youth programs in our community.
I´ve tried to keep this short, and I know that I´ve probably left out a lot. If you talk to Dave, you´ll find that he has thousands of stories, I keep telling him he should write a book about all his adventures, and all the interesting people he´s met over the years. When he tells his stories I swear your sides will ache from laughing so hard! I CAN´T WAIT to see what life has in store for us next, so far it´s been a great ride!"

We´re excited to have Dave Green Custom Cycle back this year!

Live on-site tattooing has been so popular at the World of Motorcycles Expo in London we’ve invited the artists back for a third year.

And this year we’re creating Artisan Alley, where artists who work in any medium (other than skin!) are invited to showcase and sell their works across from the tattoo artists!

Whether you make actual motorcycle art or any type of art that will appeal to motorcyclists, we’ve got thousands of people at the show who will enjoy seeing what you do and they’re not only looking – they’re shopping!

Hurry - space is limited so it’s first come, first served.

Savanah Sewell of 379 Collective is managing Artisan Alley. She can be reached at 519.854.7805 or savanah@379collective.com

The motorcycles chosen Best in Show and First Place in the Builder class at the January Toronto Supershow are coming to the World of Motorcycles Expo in London next month.

Best in Show winner “Blade” was created by Fred Vaillancourt from The Rat Shop in St. Come, Quebec. (The Rat Shop won Best in Show at WOMEX last year with another one of their bikes.)

“Silver Billet”, built by Markham, Ontario’s Steve Schuller took the top prize in the Builder class.

See these unique bikes and meet the men who made them at WOMEX, where bikes will also be judged by the International Master Bike Builders Association (IMMBA).

Mandy Monroe probably looks familiar. You may have seen her in a music video. Or maybe in a magazine or a calendar. She’s an aspiring actress whose next movie appearance is in Breakaway due out later this year. And you can meet her at the World of Motorcycles Expo in London and the Tri-Cities. Come and see Mandy in London (Feb 11, 12 & 13) and in the Tri-Cities (March 19 & 20) and get an autographed poster.

If you´re preparing your bike for spring riding, consider getting the seat reshaped or a gel pack inserted for more comfort! Triple K Upholstry will do that on site. Simply bring your seat to the show and have it done while you enjoy the show! www.triplekupholstery.com
