The Super Bowl of Custom Motorcycle Shows: Born-Free 14
Born-Free is the largest and most prestigious chopper show in North America. Custom motorcycles of all kinds show up, but the emphasis is on vintage and vintage-inspired choppers. 26 invited builders highlight this 14th edition of the show. They had 8 months to create something wild. Just being invited is accomplishment enough, while a few will receive additional honors such as best Panhead, best Knucklehead, and best in show. Born-Free 14 was held on June 24-25 in Silverado Canyon, Orange County, California.
This recap wouldn’t be possible without the support of Throttle Addiction. Check out their selection of 1,000 chopper parts, their 90 day return policy and free shipping on orders over $99:
