2007 Excellence in Motorcycling Awards

by DAVE NICHOLS / V-Twin Motorcycles

Each year, the V-twin motorcycle aftermarket comes together at the V-twin Expo in Cincinnati, Ohio, to check the pulse of the two wheeled world.  Dealers and vendors from all over the planet converge like some vast family-because that is exactly what we are.  We touch base with each other, rub elbows, even hug.  After all, motorcycling is not a sport, it's a lifestyle and we are a true brotherhood and sisterhood, bound by our love of the freedom found in the wind.  And, each year, we stop and take a minute to thank those people and companies that continually innovate, educate and inspire with amazing new products and technologies.

For 2007, the V-Twin Expo Awards honored everything from old-school bobbers to the latest rocket rides.  We congratulated companies that came up with high tech wonders as well as truly great designs, and we saluted individuals who have gone above and beyond the call of duty as industry leaders and icons.

Congratulations to all.
