The WRENCHING Photo Show and Swap Meet at Goodfellas Gallery got motorbike riders and gear heads mingling on a cold, late-winter night that's kept most of us from riding.

The event was presented by VICE, Pistonhead Kustom Lager and Soul Seekers. The beer was brewed in Sweden but distributed locally, their short cans with the cool skull logo were a great match for this crowd.

While it was still much too cold and snowy for most of us to venture out on two wheels on Friday night, there was one brave biker who did.

Not too cold for this rider!

Sunday was the swap meet part of the event, which also featured several tables and racks full of biker apparel.

One of the guys I met, Chris Wellard, had a table of gear that included this beautiful custom paint job on a sporty '99 XLHC Harley Davidson that was selling for $80.

If you were wondering the story behind the bike in the window as you came in, it was a custom pan head chopper that Jason Parker Race Cars was showing off. Parker said it's from the late '60s from North Hollywood.

Among Parker's gear on display was this aftermarket Harley chopper oil tank emblazoned with a fetching Thrush Mufflers woodpecker.

It was neat to see so much gear alongside all these fun photos of motorcycles. It made for a fun outing that enabled many riders and their friends to congregate over familiar territory while waiting for the spring thaw.
