Faro Rally, Portugal, joins Championship Program

12/06/2008 by info.

The annual rally organized by Moto Clube de Faro, in Portugal, is the latest event to join the Affiliate program of the Official World Championship of Custom Bike Building.

Taking place over July 17-20, the rally is now into its 27th year, making it one of the oldest such events in Europe.

The rally ran for 10 years before the first custom show was staged. The first event simply consisted of bikes in a field, but that was soon to change with the formation of a special team within the Moto Clube to organize and improve the show each year.

Such was the success of the organizing team that, 10 years after that first custom show, an additional area was added. Known as ‘Custom Farm’, it is specifically for professional builders to showcase their latest builds and has proved to be a major attraction, especially among editors of European custom bike magazines looking for potential feature bikes - such is the quality of machinery on display.

Now that it has become an Affiliate event, builders entering this year’s show will have the opportunity to win a travel expenses contribution to go to the World Championship of Custom Bike Building in Sturgis in 2009. With such a major prize on offer, the standard of bikes entered and on display is expected to be even higher than ever before.

To present a bike for consideration for entry, please email coolcat@clix.pt, attaching at least two clear photographs of the bike. Bikes may also be presented at the event itself, up to 2pm on July 19.

Bikes must run and be ridden into the showground, and from the showground to the stage for the prize-giving ceremony, to be eligible for prizes.
