87TH Anniversary of Laconia Bike Week
June 11, 2010
Tomorrow is the beginning of the 87th Laconia Motorcycle Rally. I’m not going to say how many years I have been attending the rally but it’s more than several decades. As I have always resided in either Massachusetts or New Hampshire the ride for me and my riding buddies consists usually of a few hours of winding our way along the scenic back roads of New Hampshire to Weirs Beach. To me this is some of the nicest riding there is, although Sturgis SD and parts of southern California are pretty great too.
This year me and my friend Phil Borriello, who owns P B Chopper Shop in Londonderry, will be riding around Laconia on a new Chopper fabricated and built by Phil in his shop…This bike is really one of a kind. It has a Corvette LS-6 all aluminium motor, a 360 rear tire and hand formed sheet metal…
Phil who has hand built maybe 200 motorcycles has outdone himself with this bike. Since the bike is literally being finished today we have not had time to get it to the paint shop. So if you see a chopper in Laconia with a V8 motor in bare metal-that’s us..
If you see us at the rally be sure to say hello. Phil will be happy to show you the bike and explain how and why he built it.
Below are a few photos of the bike…If you like it or have any questions write back and let me know…Have a fun and safe rally.

Looks good, even in bare metal, don't you think?
Phil and his amazing creation
