Born Free

Born Free 7. Sturgis of the west coast, but without all the baggers and Kid Rock-esque bands playing with Bud Light/MTV sponsored banners on stage. A weekend where riders from all over the country ride to Irvine, CA on bikes both old and new, American or foreign, to convene and live out a weekend embracing the biker lifestyle.

Whether you live East Coast or West, North or South, I would highly recommend checking out this show. I spent a week last June, although unable to go, following a few riders make their way across the US. One in particular was Mikey Arnold (IG @mikeyrevolt) as he rode from Cleveland out to Cali, documenting the entire trip through his camera lens. Absolutely awe inspiring pics, from the canyons of Utah, the mountains of Colorado, or being stuck camping out with a burnt out exhaust, it is plenty to make you want to get up and just go.

There is nothing that I love more about riding than the sense of brotherhood that comes with two wheels and an engine, and if anything, Born Free is proof of that. So take the opportunity to check out the show here, or make your way out to the west coast for 2 days of rubbing shoulders with fellow brother and sisters.

Ride safe

Double Diamond

Tom Fugle Is one of the most bad ass guys to live this chopper life. Tom has been building and riding choppers for the last 50 years and at 72 he still rides rigid bikes. His latest creation is the Double diamond that he built for born free 6. This panhead is other worldly from the engine to the frame to the iridescent multi spectral paint Tom created. At born free 6 the Double Diamond won its self and Tom a trip to the moon eyes show in Japan. a well deserved honor for one of the pioneers of custom Harleys and choppers in general. Just so you know what this guys all about ill leave you with this quote "I love to build and ride choppers, as it is an expression of my art. I guess that's because I've always been artistic. I feel that those who ride stock bikes must be autistic. So what I'm trying to say is; "Ride choppers or fuck off!" 

At The Risers

Jason webber is the guy behind At The Risers out of Anaheim, California. All though I don't know him personally, from everything I've seen, read, and heard this dude is awesome. At The Risers makes a ton of cool chopper stuff and Jason builds some gnarly bikes like his knuckle Head he calls "Triclops". In the chopularity contest this dude doesn't take him self to serious and always kills it! So give him a follow and buy some stuff!

Don't be a square, Jammerz
