Oakland, USA, invariably plays host to the very best rods and roadsters, coupes and customs in the world, and nowhere on Earth will you find a more incredible collection of custom motorcycles.

It is, quite simply, the best.

Plus, you will never see the same machine twice at Oakland, which means every car or bike you’ll see in this 1996 review is quite different from anything ever seen before - or since.

Even more incredible is the fact that, for every one of the 300 vehicles accepted, four or five more were turned away!

These are truly the creme de la creme of customs.
