So who remembers this… right? We all used to look forward to the International Motorcycle Show (IMS) coming to a city near us all, in the winter months. It was like sunshine to our soul, only the vitamin D was actually in the form of customized iron.
I always felt very fortunate to be chosen by Bob Kay & Jeff Najar to be the photographer that would travel with the show weekly all around the USA. Their company at the time, BIKERPROS, was in charge of running the J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show, and during my time on tour, I was able to shoot thousands of incredible motorcycles. I was given a few lights, sometimes a backdrop, sometimes not…, the floor was either cement or carpeted, but all of that was fine. I was in the environment that I wanted to be in, so life was good.
HAPPENING NOW!
SICK BOY MOTORCYCLES, the coolest designs on planet Earth! Check them out on-line. PLUS at the Myrtle Beach Rally May 9th – 18th, set up at the Beaver Bar.
IN THIS POST, I want to focus on the 2012 IMS Show in San Mateo, California. We had a HUGE turnout of bikes, so I thought I’d grab the entire gallery & take you back to that time period. If you all enjoy posts from the old IMS shows, I will add more. All info noted below was from 2012, I don’t have any updates after that. 300 + IMAGES… ENJOY!
