This will be the first time this many of Marcelo’s bikes have left their home in Temecula Valley. The bikes making the journey from Temecula to Long Beach are getting to the VIP treatment in preparation for the show. The bikes have been thoroughly detailed and decked out for their big debut and special arrangements have been made to ensure the bikes safe transportation. Damian Doffo, Marcelo’s son, shares his father’s love for motorcycles and is also looking forward to bringing these special bikes to the public at IMS. “We’re excited about being apart of the IMS show, because we get to share our passion of motorcycles and wine with a crowd that truly understands us and can appreciate our collection,” says Damian.
