Streetfightin’ at London’s Bike Shed Moto Show…
Merry Old England has a long heritage of muscle bikes, and the streetfighter craze was largely born on the streets of London. The story goes that young riders of superbikes couldn’t afford to replace their rashed and broken fairings, and so they stripped them off, threw on different headlights, and mounted motocross bars that made it easier to see in urban traffic…and to wheelie, of course.
While not exclusive to old-school muscle bikes and streetfighters (like Worship Moto Show), the recent Bike Shed Moto Show was chockablock with such machines. Fortunately, our man Roberto Garagarza (@roga______/) was in attendance to shoot as many of them as possible. Let us know your favorite in the comments!
