History FBI
The History of the FBI, The Choppernation starts with the opening of The Chopperdome doors for cruiser and chopper riders, july 2001. A hobby becomes reality and UCME, the first Chopperdome homepages set the trend. Not only showing your bike, but going the distance becomes important. FF "fundamentalistische fietsers" was founded sept 2001. Cruisin" is born.
After the first FF UCME Chopp~a~rounds in 2001 and the spring of 2002 the FBI was founded aug 2002. FF goes international and is known from now on as Fun~damentalistic Bikers Inc. The first official FBI cruise took place 19th oktober 2002, when English and Dutch crusaders met at the DAM, FBI PART I.
In the summer of 2002 at the first Anniversary of the Chopperdome a Partycruise with 70 already cruised the streets, so the when it came down to picking an annual date for this FBI event it was easy.
The second meeting july 2003.
At this meeting, july 2003 held at "t Stenen Hoofd" the first FBI dragraces took place and first FBI spoke cards saw the light. Besides the Dragrace the Partycruise became part of the program. Still a one day event, but with riders from various European country's showing their best and at that time still unique cruisers, but more real customs and tuned bikes start to show.
In 2004 the FBI moved to it's final location, "het Westerpark" and became a three day event. With more and more riders showing. Friends from the year before met again showing their progress and meeting new dudes on the scene. Dragracing and Partycruise were part of the program, but a Friday night alley cat was added to the program. And a team time race was done. 
In 2005, the FBI, Part IV, grew to a five day event with pre-games and long distance cruisin" on wednesday and thursday. The main event, starting Friday night with a welcome party at the Chopperdome and cruise alley cat, was again spread over the weekend.
Drag racing and the biggest Partycruise ever on saturday night followed by a after cruise party with live band at "t Ketelhuis". Sunday's more to see at the showdown at "t Ketelhuis" in the park. Making the first connection with the "Bikes behind the Dikes" election which is goanna be part as COTY 2006 of the Choppernation part V.
With a record number of bikes Part V, 2006 became probably the biggest event in the Custom bicycle galaxy. For the second year running the FBI was a five day event with guest now coming from really all over the known custom galaxy as far as the US and Canada again meeting the European scene that gathered in the Westerpark, Amsterdam. Gave last year Partycruise the feeling "we are not alone anymore", now a group of more then 230 custom bikes claimed the streets as they owned the city for the two hours the partycruise took. The COTY first year being part of the FBI was overwelming, with so many great bikes it was hard to pick one favorite for most guests, but after a lot of work by the jury and public votes being counted the COTY association presented prizes sunday afternoon to the selected finalists.
The WK Cruise Ball can been seen as an experimemt, no one got hurt although some bikes being used needed some work. For 2007 the team time cruise will return to the program. The fourth FBI dragraces brought for the third time a French overall winner. Besides the bikes the FBI gave place to a tattoo artist and like last year a pinstriper, but also jewelry, clothing stands and live music.

The FBI part VI. Never mind the Freaks, here's the FBI part VI. The FBI had to move to a new location in the westerpark, as some freak bike dudes rented the location we had for years. Happy, yes, we moved to the place that hosted the COTY in 2004 before closing down for renovation, a much better location.
More space to park the bikes outside and the COTY back indoors again, 400 M2 of bikes, workshops (CPH airbrush and Ben's metalshaping) and music by Jitterbug. Also present with a small booth A's industries, Firebikes, Metalworks, Electra cruisers and The Chopperdome.
Just like last year it was a five day event with cruise wars, dragrace, partycruise and COTY. New in the 2007 the IMBA mini bike races and nightcruise. The nightcruise replaced the thursday daytime beachcruise. The nightcruises have always been in april, a 75 km cruise to the beach at night, with it's final edition last year. Now part of the FBI choppernation, new roads, more bars. The teamtime race was cancelled. The IMBA will have a bigger part in the FBI 2008.
