Moscow Custom & Tuning Show moves to
Olympic Stadium March 16 - 18
The popular Moscow Custom & Tuning
Show is on the move again, driven by
show growth, this time to no less a
facility than the central Moscow
Olympic Stadium, venue for the 1980
Olympics.
Said to give the joint MotoSpring and
Moscow Custom & Tuning Show
access to up to twice the space of prior
venues, “this is the biggest and the
coolest place to stage a motorcycle
event in Moscow,” says organizer
Dmitry Khitrov.
“Alongside this, our 12th annual
custom show and industry exhibition
we will stage an indoor freestyle show
with some of the best Russian and
European jumpers.”
The ‘Moscow Show’ regularly provides
high class entrants for the AMD World
Championship of Custom Bike
Building (at INTERMOT Customized,
October 2018) with creativity,
innovation and standards of
craftsmanship that are among the best
in the world. www.custom.show

500, a built by Dmitry
Golubchikov of Zillers

craftsmanship we have
