This makes the second motorcycle-based A Day in 10 Photos entry. While the first one focused on raw power, this one’s all about the show bikes. Today is the Second Annual Brooklyn Invitational motorcycle show. While I don’t foresee myself getting on an iron horse anytime soon, I can definitely appreciate the craft these bikes posses.

Check out nine more photos below!

There were some amazing bikes in this show. This copper chopper was adorned with hand-made detailing just awaiting a patina.

All these bikes fell under a slogan “Built not Bought”.

Some bikes had seen their miles.

And others looked like beasts from Middle-Earth.

Or at the least the steeds of an Ranger.

This bike was bad-ass! Probably my favorite. A little too ornate for a daily ride but it was a show-stopper.

Indoors were the classier, invite-only show bikes.

Some were smokin’ hot.

But, like my wardrobe, I prefer the all-black beasts! The show is still going on at North 14th and Kent. Head on over if you’ve got time and as always, there are a ton of photos from the day at my Flickr.
