On the outskirt of Venice is Jesolo Beach which faces the Adriatic Sea and it’s where Alberto Castellaro organized the 11th Independence Weekend American Cars and Choppers Show at the Gasoline Road Bar. I attended the event along with Jimmy C, Chopper Dave, Jeff from Church of Choppers, Dice Magazine’s Matt & Dean as well as Jennifer from Trophy Queen.
