I'd been to my friend's shop before and it's just one of those places that lends itself to dramatic photos. On this visit, the sunlight was landing perfectly on a recently rebuilt Honda CB 550 and it only took a bit of shooting to get something worthwhile.

This bike is indestructible. Its seen multiple crashes, rain and hours and hours at red line. It never let me down on a cross country trip and it still starts first kick. Good Job Honda.
The 2013 J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder US Championship saw winning bikes from Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit and Atlanta compete with the local heroes from Indianapolis. The Championship presented 54 outstanding customs competing for $26,000 in cash and prizes. The local Southside Harley-Davidson provided a four-bike vintage showcase to celebrate the racing heritage of Indianapolis.
As imagined, with so many winners in attendance from previous events, each of the five classes were extremely tight with just a point or two deciding the first 3 places. Judging is based on the AMD Championship of Custom Bike Building with the builders judging each other’s bikes.
To celebrate the US Championship, Powersports firms jumped in to provide awards including Harley-Davidson with a Screamin Eagle 120R powerplant, Avon Tires with 2 sets of tires, Yoshimura with a slip-on and gift certificate as well as JDA providing gift certificates. Bell offered up a couple Custom 500 lids pinstriped lids by Scratch. HelmetLok and Wizard Products kicked down products for all the placing competitors too.
On hand for the Championship and to show some love to the competitors were Cyclesource Magazine and IronWorks Magazine. They awarded feature articles to Paul Anderson with his 1946 WLA and Jay Hart with his 2012 / 1977 Harley-Davidson FL, respectively.
