Rheinhessen Rumble 2022

Rheinhessen
RUMBLE
Rockin‘ Rhein-Main
and beyond!
Austria’s BSL presented a lot of new bikes at the event!
Custom Chrome Europe’s Ride-
In type Bike Show, in this case as
part of the new event that had such
a promising start.

As “hot” as organizers and bikeshow
team went into planing,
exhibitors were equally exited to
meet their customers again in a
likely “after-Covid” environment
with little if any
restrictions and additional
“action” promised
by the extended program
and longer opening
hours of the event.
Again, many local motorcycle
shops, customizing
services, national
and even international
customizers followed the
call to the Nahe river –
and they did not regret it!

Friday opened with several
cool music performances,
highlighted by
“Mytallica”. No need to
explain who they tributed
to. With warm and great
weather all weekend,
the bikes started rolling
almost immediately after
the gates opened – and
so did registration and
ühotographing of already
present bikeshow competitors.
Nahetal Arena
and the exhibition area
on the parking of Hotel
and Restaurant are perfectly
suited to host the
event, but planning did
not go without problems.
Obviously, local authorities,
now out of “covidmode”
came out in force
to “enrich” the planing
with new restrictive
orders and regulations
– including to re-paint
the parking lot spaces
from 2.5 to 2.3 meters
width on Thursday. Not
to mention that half the
fire-brigades from the
surrounding towns stood guard to
watch the event and concerts in
case of whatever could happen.
Not really good news for any event
orgainzers in Germany, as safety
and security regulation paperwork
and permits chew up a lot of budget
money even before an event is

happening and maybe, just maybe
earning some money.

The Rheinhessen Rumble offers
a great mix of exhibitors, offering
something for everybody who is
interested in customizing and custombike
lifestyle: You can get a
haircut at the “Barberknecht”, several
Tattoo artists work all weekend
to ink the skin of the visitors – and
to encourage the visitors to use
the services: Show host Christian
Denstedt himself is using some of
them as the hectic event shedule
allows him to do so! This year he
had “Rheinhessen Rumble” tattoed
into a remaing space at his shoulder.
His comment: “We did it – and
that’s worth the tattoo to remember!”

Saturday was “Showtime” for the
Custom Chrome Europe team and
the first bike show since European
Bike Week 2019 in Faak. Prepared
for what ever was coming,
about 20 bikes had
already signed in online
– and more came riding
in Saturday until registration
closed at 3 pm.
Following all of “mainstreet”,
then passing
the food court into the
“Bike Show Arena”, regulations
asked to leave
a big space open for fire
trucks - and the local
firemen also did check
out the custombikes
themself! Dr. Jekill & Mr.
Hyde, Harley-Davidsn
Würzburg Village, Twin’s
Inn, Custom Corner were
among the competitors,
so about one third of the
bikes stayed in the particular
booth locations.
Austria’s BSL Exhaust,
Wunderkind, V-Team
handlebars, Parts
Europe/Drag Specialties,
were among the
“Newcomers” to the
Rumble, yet there
seemed a lot of space
available for additional
entries if it wasn’t for (do
we really have to state it
again?) regulations.

Saturday’s highlight was
the trophy ceremony for
the bike show in front of
the main stage, bringing
together all winning
bikes and their owners/
builders. Axel Scherer of
Custom Chrome Europe
handed out trophies and
CCE parts credit vouchers
to the winners before
German cult band “Ohrenfeind” hit
the stage. When the gates closed
Sunday afternoon, all looked back
to a busy and successful event –
and nothing ever happend...
