Chopperfest 2023
Nate BeckDescription
Chopperfest in Ventura, CA. The custom motorcycle scene has its builders, chromers, painters, the people who chop, the people who ride, weekend warriors, and the mile munchers. One big group of two-wheel enthusiasts who have been drawing influence and inspiration from the golden era of motorcycling for decades. But before we had the websites, the blogs, Instagram, and smart phones, motorcycle culture lived inside the magazines. In the early days, the king was Easyriders Magazine, which commonly featured art from the biker world’s artist-in-residence, David Mann.

Welcome to Ride and Rally with Fix My Hog. What's up, everybody? I'm Nate Beck and welcome to Fix My Hog Ride and Rally 2023. We are here in Ventura, California at the 17th Annual David Mann Chopperfest. We're here to see some custom bikes, some classic bikes, vendors, bands, everything Southern California has to offer, so let's get this started.
What's up? We're here at Chopperfest and we're here in the S&S booth. We love S&S and we're here with Rob from S&S. How you doing, man? Doing good.
How about yourself, man? Good dude. Tell me, what's going on at S&S? We got a lot of new stuff going on and we just dropped our new Big Bore Kit, 132 cubic inch in a black granite, so that CVO finish. Yep.
If you have a 117 CVO, you can do a 132 the whole time with that. Up to 132? 132, man. Wow. No, you're not switching out flywheels, you're not doing anything else, just bolting that on.
Just make sure your runoff's safe. Yep, nice. But yeah, we got some new air cleaners that are kind of coming out, new finishes, so a lot more coming out here in the spring. Okay. Daytona's gonna be the launch of it, so come check us out.
We're gonna be at J&P Cycles at that destination. Nice, in Daytona. If you're in Daytona, come check out S&S cycles and get that 132 kit and go fast. Let's do it. Right on, well thanks, man.
Take it easy, have a good show. Yeah, you guys enjoy the beers. All right, so we're here with Chance with Barnett. Chance, how you doing today? Good, how you doing?
Good, man. Congratulations. You have a big anniversary this year with Barnett, and how many years is that? 75 years this year. It's a pretty big milestone for the motorcycle industry for sure.
75 years in business. That's why they're one of the best in the business. What's going on at Barnett? What are you guys doing? Anything here coming down the pipeline?
Yeah, we're working on a few new products for the '23s and stuff, but mostly just updating the fit and making sure everything's still fits. We're still staying on all the new bikes that come out. Nice. Staying on top of the game, bringing out quality cables and everything. Where can people find you guys online if they don't already follow you?
Yeah, barnettclutches.com, and social media, Barnett Clutches on Facebook, Instagram, all that stuff. Nice, well check out- Everywhere we should be. Nice, well check out Barnett Clutches, 75 years in business, quality motorcycle parts here at David Mann Chopperfest. Thanks so much. Thank you.
There you have it, another great Southern California motorcycle event celebrating all things horsepower, all things freedom on two wheels, custom bikes, old bikes, vendors, bands, products, everything. You guys have to come here next year for the 18th annual David Mann Chopperfest. Until next time, ride safe, wrench safe, and we'll see you down the road.
Attend many of these events over the years.
