The World Burnout Tour featuring Nick Lee
Nick participated in the World’s Largest Motorcycle Burnout, an extraordinary event led by master bike builder Kendall Johnson at the Full Throttle Saloon. It was an unprecedented assemblage of chrome and rubber as nearly seventy bikers converged to set a new world record. Nick Lee was the last man standing and was ultimately titled, ”Best of Show: The World Record Burnout Holder“. Now, one of its star performers and greatest burnout showman, Nick Lee blazes up the venues of America’s Heartland on his own. Raising money for charitable causes and continuing the old burnout tradition, he takes his show on the road in his highly acclaimed World Burnout Tour. Nick was a great entertainer and a perfect gentleman. www.worldburnouttour.com

He’s back! Last time he was in town he drew crowds of plenty and now he’s back at Thunder in the Valley® for another set of “flaming” fun shows. To fans of his books and his syndicated public access TV show, he's simply Biker Billy... a man who cooks with fire. Biker Billy's fans include people who love Harleys and the open road and who share his outlook on life, leather and spicy foods. He shares a "food moment." Biker Billy has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live! With Regis and Kelly, and at countless bike rallies across the nation. Recently, he has performed at Sturgis and for Harley-Davidson’s 100th Anniversary. His ultra-eccentric love for food draws crowds to not only see what he cooks, but how he cooks. The flare of comedy, which enhances his cooking show, and hot foods keeps people coming back for more. Recently, he has launched Podcasts on his website for fans to see what he has been doing at various shows. In 2005, he published the best selling book “Biker Billy Cooks with Fire”, and is set to release “Biker Billy’s Hog Wild on a Harley Cookbook”.
