Not only is he head mechanic at Rising Sun Motorcycles, a full-service and custom bike shop in East Vancouver, he is the owner and wrench behind Slick Cycle Works, operating from his home garage, where he builds some pretty slick customs, to be sure. But hey, what\u2019s a gearhead to do in the off-hours of his two jobs? Ah, what the hell, let\u2019s put on a bike show. How hard could that be?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, it\u2019s hard. And time-consuming. But he did it. The end of April 2017 saw the first-ever Oil and Rust Motorcycle Show on Vancouver\u2019s Eastside. Housed in the Ellis Building, a structure built in 1907 on Main Street, the vibe was decidedly vintage, including the pinball machines in the hospitality area (where I heard they were serving adult beverages).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-42031\" src=\"http:\/\/motorcyclemojo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DSCN1402-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Yamaha Designs at the Oil and Rust Motorcycle Show\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\">Lined up atop the ancient wooden floors, and lit by what appeared to be ancient lighting, were 43 hand-picked bikes of assorted vintages and styles, each on display by invitation. \u201cI wanted to find top-calibre bikes that hadn\u2019t been seen a thousand times,\u201d Kerevan says. \u201cI combed social media, thought about friends and customer bikes and found enough bikes with enough variety to put on a show. Seventy per cent of the bikes were plated. There\u2019s no point building them if they\u2019re not ridden.\u201d And indeed, even during that rainy period in Vancouver (shocking, I know), they were ridden. As were many show-goers\u2019 bikes. In fact, about the only bikes without plates were the flat-track race bikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for the show&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">had come about during conversations with Ezra Kish, the building\u2019s leaseholder. Kerevan feels there aren\u2019t enough of these types of shows in the Vancouver area anymore. \u201cI wanted to do something like The One Show in Portland [Oregon]. You know, a little of everything, including photography and art.\u201d So Kish took care of the hospitality end, while Kerevan took care of the art, bikes and space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-42038\" src=\"http:\/\/motorcyclemojo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DSCN1455-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Huge Crowds at the Oil and Rust Motorcycle Show\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\">Needing some help, Kerevan reached out to enthusiast-owned businesses in the area, such as International Motorsports, the local Triumph, Aprilia and Moto Guzzi dealer; Bent Bike in Langley; and Rocket Fuel Supply Co. in Burnaby for sponsorship, which they all gladly provided. In turn, he provided free space for Bikers for Autism and Flat Track B.C., a collective of three clubs holding races across the province. And as a little extra incentive, he provided a custom 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000 as a raffle prize. \u201cThe show was absolutely a success,\u201d Kerevan says. \u201cEven the raffle bike got paid for!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what\u2019s the future for Oil and Rust? \u201cI\u2019d like to make it an annual thing. Maybe just grow it and add more variety. I just need more help!\u201d Kerevan says, explaining that he was there for almost 24 hours setting up, then adds, \u201cIt was a lot of work, but I\u2019m just glad that people could come out and have a good time.\u201d&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where custom, vintage and race bikes go to hang out Jeff Kerevan is a busy man.
