The Bike Shed Motorcycle Show is always a laid back and enjoyable event. No corporate sponsorship or big money backers - just custom bikes built by people who love what they do at a show organised by bikers for bikers, and anybody else who just thinks motorcycles are cool.
As always, there are many weird and wonderful machines on display - something for all tastes. Here is just a tiny selection of what was on show.
Get your pizza delivered - quickly!
Quite a similar engine to my first ever bike - a Honda 125 twin, but there the similarities end...
A Honda Gold Wing tourer turned into a cafe racer!
This very futuristic machine is actually far older than it looks!
Yes - even scooters are allowed!
From mod machines to punk ones - this is powered by a lawnmower engine!
This actually started life as a moped!
And this still is a moped - showing that literally anything can be turned into a custom bike.
This looks less than practical to actually ride, but look at that amazing paintwork! Many of the bikes here are literally works of art.
Yes, that really is a Sinclair C5.
A modern 350 Royal Enfield with a beautifully vintage looking 'bathtub' rear end.
This is an old Honda CG125 commuter bike - who'd have thought anyone would ever want to customise some as unglamorous as that?
Who says mopeds aren't cool?
Based on a modern Sportster - the purists won't like it...
...compared to this.
Guys - would you want to run into the back of something on this bike? Look at the rear end of the petrol tank! 😖
Who needs a fancy custom paint job? This is actually a leather clad motorcycle!
On the other hand, this has to win the best paintwork of the show award.
Old look - new Triumph motor.
At last - a machine that can handle London's pothole infested roads!
There was so much to see that as it was free on my ticket and I hadn't quite seen everything I decided to come back again tomorrow....
