Thunderbike of Germany scoops second European Championship in three years

Andreas Bergerforth and the team at Thunderbike (of Hamminkeln in Germany) can now add their names to the list of those who have proven their championship grade credentials on multiple occasions, having backed up their 2006 European Championship win with this year's title.

In 2006 Thunderbike won in Europe and went on to be second in the Official World Championship with 'Spectacula'. This year's return to the podium two years on from that success was with 'Open Mind', an S&S-engined fusion of old and contemporary styling that showcased the kind of engineering and production excellence that has become the acknowledged hallmark of Championship program winning bikes.

Thunderbike took the win in one of the closest European Championships yet seen. Second place was taken by last year's third-placed builder, Riverside Motocyclettes of Vallon Pont d'Arc in France (in collaboration with Mort-M Garage) with 'Sugarland Express'.

Third place went to another German, and somebody who is a veteran of the European Championship program, Tobias Guckel of TGS Motorcycles (Tittling/Rappenhof, Germany) with 'Seppster 2'.

Fourth and fifth places went to two more program veterans. Frenchman Bertrand Dubet (Odyssey Motorcycles) was fourth with the much-admired 'V-Rage', featuring a reversed Engenuity 147 cu inch motor and futuristic biometric ignition recognition system.

Fifth place went to Freddie 'Krugger' Bertrand, with 'Half Day', a bike named for the Illinois Race Track where S&S Cycle founder George Smith used to race in the 1950's, and the appearance of the bike marked the first competitive debut for one of the S&S-engined bikes that have been built to celebrate S&S Cycle's 50th anniversary.

The event also saw Cory Ness's S&S 50th bike being seen publicly for the first time, and a European unveiling for the S&S X-Wedge, with Jerry Greenlaw's Custom Garage of Germany giving the new platform its first competitive outing outside the United States.

The event itself was the fourth annual Official European Championship of Custom Bike Building, and was staged at Custom Chrome's European Dealer Show at the Phoenixhalle at Mainz in central Germany.

Altogether 100 bikes were entered this year, with builders coming from 15 countries in total.

There were eight entries in Custom Chrome's own Motorcycle sub-class, with 62 bikes competing in the acclaimed Freestyle 'Class' from which the builders themselves, with selected former competitors and champions, custom journalists, Affiliate event operators and members of the Official Partner and exhibiting vendor community, chose the winners using the unique and internationally respected Championship Program judging formula.

In the Modified Harley-Davidson class, which received a record 30 entries, the win was taken by industry veteran Claus Guenther of USM from near Hanover, Germany, with '48'. Second place in the Modified Harleys went to Alex Sluyter (Harley Factory Frankfurt, Germany) with 'The Apprentice'; and French custom shop School Bar Atelier took third with 'Old Gun'.

Tobias Guckel added to his third place Freestyle European Championship success with a win in the Custom Chrome Europe Motorcycles Class (bikes based on one of CCE's kit bike packages) for the second year running, with Outback Cycles (Germany) second, and Custombike (Gerardo Chillico, Italy) third.

Custom Chrome Europe's logistics partner DHL has generously supported the European Championship again with providing the top three with a voucher worth 5.000,00 euro (approx $7,500.00 each) towards the costs of bike freight for them to compete at this year's 5th annual Official World Championship of Custom Bike Building at Champions Park on Lazelle Street during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally (August 3rd to 6th).

Jammer Old School winner was Andreoli Motorcycles of Italy, with Independent Choppers and Hells Kitchen Choppers second and third.

S&S President's Pick winner was Custom Garage in Germany for 'Dragon', their X-Wedge project; with Krazy Horse Customs from the UK second, and RMF Motorcycles, Germany, third.

The event is trade-only for Custom Chrome Europe dealers and European Championship competing builders on the Saturday, with additional local consumer attendance welcomed through the doors on the Sunday.
