Set at the heart of the city, the Bike Show will take place at Hauptplaz, 9500 Villach, part of the Parade route. Access will be one way only, via Moritschstrasse. You will then be able to exit Hauptplaz via the bridge at the north end. The street will be closed to other traffic for the day, except for Custom Bike Show entrants!

If you are transporting your motorcycle with a van or a trailer, you will not be able to get directly to the registration desk with it. Please park at the Parkplatz Parkhotel Villach with entry on Hausergasse, which is close to the registration. You will get six hours free parking if you are entering the Custom Bike Show. Ask a member of the team for your parking pass when you register. Additional parking is €1.80 per hour. Van parking location on Google Maps.  

General bike parking for motorcycles (not entering the Custom Bike Show) is at the Congress Centre Villach/CCV. Google Maps location.

Custom Bike Show registration takes place from 10:00 at the beautiful Hauptplaz in central Villach. Access is via 10 Oktober Platz.

It is a free-to-enter, ride-in Custom Bike Show, but you must register and get a bike number before you park up. There will be gifts for every entrant. Please follow signs and steward directions once you reach the registration desk.

Overall winners will be invited to display their bikes in a Custom zone at the main rally site at Faak am See on Saturday, June 6. If you are a winner please ask for an invitation.

Entry is in six categories, with first and second place in each category, plus Best in Show, Metzeler People’s Choice Award and Metzeler Judges’ Choice Award.
