But the big winner of the day was Ben Beck out of Lake Havusa, Arizona, who won “Best of Show” honors for his stretched-out super radical called “The Nitemare” built by Scott’s Insane Choppers (SIC). We first noticed ‘The Nitemare’ at the Laughlin River Run’s bike show where we learned that among its unique features is an air intake shaft that arcs above the bike’s tank. The Rat’s Hole Custom Bike Show filled the pavilion of the Buffalo Chip. handlebars and tunnels through the tank to funnel air to the carb. Its exhaust system is equally as trick as spent fumes exit from a vent integrated into the back fender which Scott chambered, formulating a heat barrier to keep the heat off the back of the bike. Mounted into the stretched-out frame is a Yamaha Road Star 1600 engine with copper plating on its covers. The plating also covers the exhaust cover, wheels and headlight. “The Nitemare” hugs the ground courtesy of full air ride suspension, American on the front and Legends on the rear.
