Phoenix, AZ is known for Baggers. And when the J&P Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show rolled into Phoenix, the Baggers rolled out for the International Motorcycle Show and into the Custom Show.

Big wheel sleds from Sideshow’s Cycles, Insane Asylum, Spooky Fast, Bagger’s Inc., Torch Industries, Stellar Cycles and Brian Jenkins of Hatred Industries all had something to offer. And with all that fire power, only one Bagger took a win. Bananas!

I spoke with Scott Moore about his Jim Nasi built bike and he was on the fence about entering the show. He was sure that his pro-street bike that features 60 degree rake, negative 3” in the backbone and 3-D wheels would not be enough to get him a “W” in the competition. Scott was wrong. The photo-realistic paint and round-cylinder mil really made the bike standout. He took home a $1,000 check.

  1. #675 Scott Moore, Jim Nasi Build – Yes It’s Paint, 2013 Custom
  2. #475 Lupe Aguavo, Panel King, ’08 Road King

The competition was close in all classes. A vote one way or another would have changed up the results in all classes. In Retro MOD we had to assemble a VIP judging panel as the top three bikes were all tied. After deliberations, Rick Nolan was selected for the win and he took home the $500 check for his Nickel Pan.
