The AMD-approved event is back and better than ever – and this time, the entirety of hall R1 is dedicated to the custom show. The BCS24 is set to take place at the Indian Riders Fest in České Budějovice (Budweis), Czech Republic, from June 13 to 16, 2024.

This four-day event promises to be a spectacular display of passion, creativity, and the finest two-wheeled artistry. Witness the extraordinary craftsmanship of European custom bike builders and Indian Motorcycle dealers as they come together to celebrate the love of motorcycles.

BCS is not just about motorcycles; it is a community of creativity that welcomes builders of all levels. The event is committed to supporting and fostering creativity, with exhibition space for rookies and seasoned veterans alike. With the growth of the show in such a short time, the 2024 event is set to be a standout event.

Director of Product Design for Indian Motorcycle, Ola Stenegärd, shared his excitement for the event, stating that he couldn’t be more thrilled to see the creative energy of the 2023 class winners and is eagerly looking forward to the 2024 event.

Don’t miss out on this amazing celebration of motorcycles and creative talent! Registrations for BCS24 are officially open.

During the 2023 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Klock confirmed his acceptance of the Presidency saying,

 “Indian Motorcycle is near and dear to my heart. Having been part of the aftermarket advisory team since 2014 and designing many of the limited editions coming out of the factory, just like Ola, a custom show dedicated to Indian Motorcycles is something I’m really excited about. I cannot wait to meet everyone at Budweis next year and see their craftsmanship and incredible skills.”

Klock, his wife Vanessa, and other dignitaries including Stenegärd and Onno Wieringa, Official AMD World Championship photographer, will evaluate the entrants in seven distinct classes with one build also being awarded the prestigious Best In Show trophy.

In a shake-up to last year’s classes, the Club Style/Performance Baggers class has been introduced in keeping with current trends, and, to allow even more creativity, the new Freestyle class is the only category where entrants do not need to be road-legal. However, entries in all classes must be able to start and ride their builds onto the podium to accept their awards.

The seven classes designed to ensure that every participant has an opportunity to showcase their unique style and creativity are as follows:

• Indian Scout

• Indian Chief / Non-Fairing

• Indian Motorcycle Bagger

• Indian Motorcycle Vintage

• Indian FTR / Sportbike

• Indian Motorcycle Freestyle

• Indian Motorcycle ClubStyle / Performance Bagger

While ride-in entries will be accepted until Saturday, June 15, potential participants are encouraged to secure their spots through pre-registration. Pre-registration not only guarantees a place in the spotlight but also includes three complimentary entry tickets to the Indian Riders Fest 2024. Pre-registration closes on Friday, May 31, 2024.
