The Rat's Hole version of Beauty & the Beast.

Miss Rat Hole 2008 put smiles on a lot of men's faces.

Builders crowd the stage in hopes of walking away with a trophy.

First was the King Arthur bike, now comes along the Dragon.

Ted Smith's collection of killer bikes gained its newest member, the 2008 Rat Bike built by Knockout Motorcycles' Ralph Randolph.

It's Hammered time.

A true rat bike at the Rat's Hole. If you look close, there's a motorcycle under there somewhere.

There were many scenes like this as attendees marveled at the intricate work of some of the most talented custom builders around.

American Thunder host Michelle Smith was there with her crew covering the show.

Ralph Randolph and Jim Canni stand next to their creation, the 2008 Rat Bike.

Armindo Alves' Arthur chopper had a medeival theme - wanna joust?

This was one evil bagger.

Not only does artist Jeff Decker do great work in bronze, he's also a custom builder.

A young Ness strikes a James Dean-like pose with one of his creations.

Competition is fierce between beer girls, but this brunette brought them in like bees to nectar.

At $5 a pop to park, you do the math. Cow bones, Cow hide, Cow-asaki. Gator made his creation from bones salvaged from Hurricane Rita.

This 'motorcycle' is claimed by Froggy's Saloon to be the oldest bike in the world.

So when she goes to the DMV to get plates, does she get a motorcycle or car tag?

You should have seen the magic this airbrush artist could do on a helmet.

The Triabusa's back end had the biggest tires I've ever seen on a functional bike.

One of the most unique bikes at the Rat's Hole Metric Madness show was this '06 Triabusa with twin turbos.

Lil' Dog was built by a couple of youngsters, brothers Cody and Joey Cihak and is powered by a 70cc Honda Motor. Here's a custom 'Busa honoring our men and women who serve our country dutifully.

Who'd have thought a big ugly rat would be synonymous with the biggest custom show at Bike Week.

Ted Smith and the Rat's Hole held its first metric only show on Thursday.

Somehow, I don't believe this guy.

The Devil went down to Florida, she was lookin' for a soul to steal ... How many custom builders can you get on one stage? A bevy of beauties get ready to strut their stuff in the Biker Fusion party's bikini contest. Marlowe B and Ami James of Miami Ink fame are opening a new shop/tattoo parlor/bar. That's what I call one stop shopping. The singer of the band Crush at the Boot Hill Saloon could belt it out. Nice mullet - Hutch would be jealous. You've got to love Bike Week, where sportbike riders and custom choppers comingle peaceably. Don't armadillos know you shouldn't drink and drive.

Love Hate Choppers is the latest collaboration between Marlowe B. and Ami James.

When you're a famous custom builder who happened to be a former model, you can't help but be a chick magnet.

The P.I.N.K Vodka crew were in high spirits. Choppers Inc. in the house - Billy Lane was well represented.

Indian Larry may not have been at Bike Week in person, but he will always be here in spirit.

Drum roll please...

The judges had some serious deliberating to do. Must be rough being a popular custom builder sometimes.

It's easy to see why she was a crowd favorite.

The girls got the crowd into a giving mood - it was a benefit event, after all.

The artistry of a raked out chopper can be a beautiful thing.

Boss Hoss makes the fastest bar stool around. Cory Ness' Victory Vision Street was on display at the Speedway. You should have seen the lap times of this vintage Harley delivery bike.

Though the GOAT won't be in Friday night's SX race, he made sure the Daytona course will put the rider's mettle to the test.

We got a good look at Tatou's 4S ATV Track System and would be more than willing to put them to the test in our Southern Oregon stomping grounds.

The Can Am Spyder was one of the most highly sought after demo rides.

Roaring Toyz displays its custom 2005 R1 under the Yamaha tent at the Boz Bros Custom Bike Show.

While the thrum of vintage racers echoed in the background, giant murals decorating the outside of the stadium whetted our appetite for Saturday's Daytona 200.

The entrance to the hallowed racing grounds where countless moments in motorsports history have taken place. The Kawasaki tent at the Speedway let people do their best Ricky Gadson imitation.
