Custom Chopper Raffle


With the return of Strange Days this year, you might be wondering, what about the giveaway bike?!

Ladies and germs, I’d like to introduce the Strange Days 10 giveaway bike, “Sweet Cheeks.” This custom 1980 Shovelhead is built in the spirit of what Strange Days is all about: long distance riding and camping! Inspired by the long-haul, mile-munching bikes that @joepanhead1313_archives and his friends rode in the past, Sweet Cheeks is the bike to carry everything you need with plenty of fuel, pullback handlebars and a comfortable seat for that lazy-boy feel while jamming down the highway.

**Features of Sweet Cheeks**

·        80” Motor

·        4 Speed Trans

·        Raked Frame, Powder Coated

·        8” over front end

·        Early Shovel front Drum with 21” Wheel

·        16” Rear Wheel with Disc Brake

·        Tombstone Speedometer

·        Custom Stainless Pullback handlebars by @silverbackmoto

·        Custom Paint by JAM @custom.paint.by.jam

·        Custom Seat by @dnseats6779

·        500 in parts donated by Lowbrow Customs

*MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN*


See ya there!!!

Unfortunate News

It's with heavy hearts that we are officially announcing that Strange Days 10 - 2020 is canceled due to all of the unforeseen circumstances, and uncertain times in this crazy world right now.  We apologize for the last minute decision, but we held out as long as we could.  We are just unable to pull the permits for the venue and town; let alone all of the other strict regulations / limitations we didn't even get far enough to get into.  But hey, everything happens for a reason.  We know a lot of people had questions about this year's show, and you've probably already read the news on the #strangedaysevent Instagram, but we like to keep the blog platform going strong too. 

We just want to give a huge thanks to anyone that has ever supported the show through the years, friends, family, volunteers, BANDS, crew, and Retrofit Cycle Works for building (what was supposed to be this year's giveaway shovelhead, but will be won by someone at some point!).  This does not mean the end of Strange Days, so keep your eyes and ears open for updates on the future date / location of Strange Days 10; it will certainly be worth the wait!  Stay safe and healthy out there friends.

Big News!!!

The 2020 - Strange Days 10 giveaway bike will be a mile-munching shovelhead chopper built by none other than the Retrofit Cycle Works boys!!!  We are proud to call these insanely talented guys our friends, and they were there when Strange Days was just some crazy idea; and they supported it wholeheartedly!  Thanks Cal, Joe, and Benny!
Here's what they had to say:  "BIG NEWS!!  We're proud to officially announce that we will be building the giveaway bike for Strange Days 10!  For the 10th anniversary, we're going back to the roots of the event and building the ultimate road trip chopper.  The concept sketch was done by @joepanhead1313.  We have some other surprises in store for this build, so stay tuned.  Next July one lucky winner will be taking this shovelhead home!" - @retrofitcycleworks
Stay tuned!
