The Dallas edition of the 2013-14 Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show was packed from opening bell on Friday to the awards ceremony on Sunday at 4PM. The free parking for motorcycles drew a huge 2-wheel crowd that funneled into the Progressive International Motorcycle Show and the very first bikes they saw were the custom sleds from the show. The bike show diversity was spectacular with big wheel Yamaha Bobbers to Diesel custom to huge tire baggers.
