Donnie Smith Bike Show, March 2010 (Expanded and in Color)

Yep, I've dug back into the archives for another one.  I went to the Donnie Smith Bike Show in 2010, just a few days after starting this blog.  My early blogposts contained a lot fewer photos and I posted everything in black-and-white.  You can see my original coverage of the 2010 Donnie Smith show here.  Fast-forward 15 years and here we are.  I wanted to revisit some of these shows from the past, post color photos, and eventually put them in YouTube slideshows... for reasons unclear to everyone including myself.  Enough back-story, let's start the new year by re-living 2010!

Love the [dead] Winne-the-Pooh bike.  I got better photos of the artwork at other events.  Just search for pooh.

Pint glass velocity stack seems like a bad idea but looks pretty good.

Haha.

Custom Vincent:

Kevin Baas' bikes:

Elvis!

The peak of the large rear tire trend?

Super-cool drag bike:

Black Copper:

Knobby tires and fork gaiters looking good.

I'm used to seeing XLCRs in black when I do see them (which is very rare).

There's a lot going on here, especially for a knucklehead.

3-wheeled Sporty:

The swap meet is always worth a look.

Very cool panhead:

Old school:

Hell of a road trip:

I've seen this Buell in the wild many times.  Very cool bike.

No, I am not tough enough to ride this.

Early days of the big front wheel bagger craze.

Headlight decals:

Mini choppers:

Some custom bicycles:

Well, that wraps up the 2010 Donnie Smith Bike Show... again... but expanded and in color this time!  Don't miss this year's show March 28 & 29th, 2026.  Who knows, maybe I'll even post color photos of it before we get to the 2040s.  Maybe.
