And that’s exactly what he does several times a year. His friend Mike Stone started George on the shows and showed him all the bling bling that can be put on a dresser. George’s first show was with Motorcycle Monthly magazine where he won first place there and was totally hooked. He now does that show twice a year. This year he showed at the Axis Of Steel in Lancaster, PA and won the Peoples Choice award. For a dresser that is one of the hardest awards to win, so winning at a big show like that, where there were 1.3 million dollars worth of bikes was a "SKY HIGH"!!
George has been at the New Holland bike show and cook off where the first year he did not place, but the second year he took next to the top prize which was BEST DETAILED. Carlisle Bikefest he was awarded the Special Recognition award. Harrisburg Shriners show he has taken first place two years in a row plus Judges Choice. He had a Best in Show trophy from Iron Valley Harley Davidson and another win at a Farm Complex swap meet in Harrisburg, PA. Continuing an impressive string of wins, George did the Triple Crown bike night which is Boyertown, Glenside, Lansdale (all in PA) where when you do all three shows, win or lose you get a trophy - George got four trophies including first place in all three shows.
When people ask George ‘Do you ride this bike or just show it?’ it always makes him grin. Since he rides all year round, he likes to keep his ride clean and for the Axis of Steel show he worked on it two weeks trying to make it almost perfect. George states “That won't happen (perfection) the paint has riding wear.” Also there is a chip in the paint on top of the tank where he was at a show and someone dropped something on it and he never found out who did it. He does big non money shows all the way to benefit shows, plus car/truck/motorcycle shows. So far in two years he has about 35 trophies. George tries to do a show every weekend little to big.
