For a lot of European bikers, the huge Biker Fest International rally in Italy is a green light for the start of the riding season. Some have even dubbed the four-day BFI event as the Italian Daytona, and the 39th edition, which just wrapped up a full slate of activities along Italy’s northeast coast, continued its wild custom-bike celebrations true to form.

You had the finale of the Italian Motorcycle Championship (IMC) take place here, as well as the only Italian stop for the AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building, organized by the British magazine American Motorcycle Dealer and showcasing the best talent and custom bike craftspeople from Italy and beyond. As expected, the custom-bike love was in full bloom for the 39th BFI, with a varied program that also included the debut of the Performance Bagger Show, a grouping of exclusive sporty baggers built in Italy. Juicing the crowd for this showcase was Spanish champion Rubén Xaus, former World Superbike and MotoGP rider and now promoter of the newborn Bagger Racing European Cup. There was no shortage of other contests either, with custom builds competing in eight categories: Bagger, Cafe Racer, H-D Modified, Freestyle, Metric, Old Style, Scrambler, and Streetfighter.

Besides the competitions and showcases, BFI also trotted out other entertainment, like racing, stunt shows, demo rides, and live bands, but the heart of the rally is still the custom bike scene, and we’ve got some snaps of this year’s beautiful builds.

The Best in Show award in the Italian Motorcycle Championship (IMC) went to “11,” a Harley-Davidson-based single-cylinder built entirely by hand by Varese-based workshop Mannaia.Biker Fest International
