Motorcycle Live 2017 launches custom competition

Motorcycle Live have launched a new custom building competition for 2017, dubbed Ace Builds, as they search for the best hand-built bike in the country.

To submit a bike to the Ace Build competition, entrants are required to upload a selection of high resolution images of their machine to the relevant manufacturer category at acebuilds.motorcyclelive.co.uk, with up to 200 words describing the build/customisation.

To enter a bike into the competition the bike must be road legal, it must have been built in the UK, it must be owned by the entrant and it must be a one-off creation that stands out. Only bikes based on models from manufacturers exhibiting at Motorcycle Live 2017 may be entered.
