Anaheim, California. January 7–9, 2026.
Concrete floors. Chrome glare. The low hum of horsepower and handshakes.
This wasn’t a sightseeing trip. This was business.
Roy Martin, founder, mad scientist, and ringmaster of Roy’s Toys Customs, walked into AIM Expo like a character who already knows how the movie ends. Nikki by his side. Calm. Sharp. Watching everything. Together, they weren’t browsing booths. They were building leverage.
AIM Expo 2026, short for the American International Motorcycle Expo, isn’t a show. It’s the show. North America’s premier powersports trade event. The place where manufacturers, dealers, and industry kingpins come to decide what the future looks like—and who gets invited into it.
And in 2026, Roy and Nikki didn’t just attend. They plugged in.
The Meetings Behind the Curtain
While others chased swag and selfies, Roy was stacking meetings—real ones. Conversations with manufacturers who don’t waste time. Brands sniffing out partnerships. Sponsors eyeing alignment.
Why? Because custom isn’t a hobby anymore, it’s a platform.
Manufacturers showed interest in relationships that go beyond logos and handshakes. Real collaboration. Real sponsorships. Names like Avon Tires and TORC Helmets weren’t hypothetical, they were in motion.
