Two trucks pulled out of a Bordentown, N.J., Petro in May with a little heavier load than when they pulled in.
The third annual Bordentown Truck Beauty Show awarded two contestants Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
“It was a goal we wanted to get, and we did it,” says Mike Duffy, who took home a Harley Sportster 883 for winning best-of-show bobtail with his 1989 International 9300. “I was a little choked up up there. This is the hardest show we’ve ever been to; it’s one of the biggest.” Duffy and his wife, Liz, live in Belle River, Ontario.

Duffy is no stranger to Harleys. He already owns an Ultra Classic, which is worth about $45,000, compared to the Sportster, which goes for about $10,000, he says. Duffy also won first place in engine, bobtail lights, custom paint graphics/bobtail and company truck/bobtail.
Tom and Tammy Little won best-of-show combination for the Hawaiian-themed “Almost Paradise,” which also won last year. The truck is a 1999 Kenworth, but the show-stopper is the 1996 utility reefer, which is decked out with neon lights underneath, a waterfall in the back, coconut-smelling smoke seeping out of it and a volcano erupting from the top.
“We weren’t expecting to win,” Tom Little says.
