Bikes of Born Free 9

Gallery of some of our favorite vintage and custom bikes from the ninth annual Born Free Motorcycle Show

Some old tank-shift flat track racersStaci Wilt

Born Free is one of the biggest and most diverse custom shows in the US. This was the ninth year that builders have come from all over the world to display their vintage and custom motorcycles, and they keep upping the ante every time. While the show keeps getting bigger and bigger, the competition getting stiffer means more builders doing more to win it.

This was the first year in many that we weren't able to be there in person, but luckily our good friend Staci Wilt was there to capture the action. Excuse the lack of detail in the caption, but as most of the bikes are just parked without signage, it makes it a little tough to credit the builders for each individual bike. If you see your bike here and want your name in the caption, feel free to email Morgan.Gales@Bonniercorp.com
