FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Motorcycle SUPERSHOW honors Legendary 

Toronto Custom Bike Builder Kenny Kerr

 

January 2010 - Kenny Kerr discovered his love of motorcycles and keen eye
for creating master pieces early in life. Growing up in Scarborough Ontario
in the early 60's, his love of bikes drew him to become a member of the
infamous bike club the "Canadian Lancers". Over the next 40 years Kenny Kerr
became a legendary custom bike builder in the motorcycle world. He was
nicknamed ""The Eater"" early in his bike building career but later changed
to "Magic". Kenny operated bike shops in Scarborough, Orillia and three in
Newmarket Ontario.

Amazingly, "The Eater" has survived over 45 years. In the 60's and 70's;
choppers were built, shown and dismantled by builders so that they could use
parts to build new creations. Kenny Kerr's ""The Eater"" is the only known
surviving original 1960's chopper from that era which he left to his friend
Ian Stewart.

This past summer Kenny Kerr passed away leaving an immeasurable void in the
Motorcycle community. He will always be remembered for his vision and
dedication to bike building. As a tribute to his passion and love of bikes,
Ian Stewart will be showcasing ""The Eater"" in Hall 5 at the International
Centre during SUPERSHOW 2010.

 The North American International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW takes place January
15, 16, 17, at the International Centre, 6900 Airport Road in Mississauga.
