Fighterama 2007
Don't expect a mellow PC family bike show if you go to Germany to visit Europe's biggest streetfighter show: It's Fighterama or bust!

If you happen to be one of those mentally unstable gearheads hooked on the streetfighting side of life, an early November trip to the otherwise quiet village of Rheinberg, Germany, may end for you with a foreclosure or divorce, but happy. The 220 exhibitors at Fighterama will attack your mind and wallet to the hilt with the highest density of trick parts and the most outlandish bikes you could ever dream of. These ain't no paint 'n' polish jobs, but Euro-style fighters, so take that saw and welder to your GSX-R until even Suzuki-san wouldn't recognize his former brainchild. Then visit the notorious Saturday-night party that steams with booze and burnouts (no, of course you and your bike don't have to leave the building to smoke or spit fire), a Miss Fighterama contest and raunchy strippers, who also sport lots of trick parts.
If you made it that far, you've already survived two long days floating through the aisles packed with infinitely wide wheels, superchargers, turbos and the wildest bodywork straight from Hell, all attached to the most radical bikes that terrorize the planet. Together with 50,000 fellow lost souls you can watch the countless indoor stunt shows and win tons of valuable parts and gear in the big raffle.
One in the crowd gets to hit the big time, winning a heavily fightered and tricked-out Yamaha FZ1, built by the infamous Fighters magazine-the dark force behind this event for seven years in a row.
This show, only one week after Halloween, is the last chance to recharge your streetfightin' batteries before hibernating in the garage beside your bike to wrench on all the goodies you brought back home. Who needs a house or girl anyway?
