Born Free Motorcycle Show – In Their Own Words
Join co‑founder Mike Davis as he reflects on the origins of the legendary Born-Free Motorcycle Show. What began as a “glorified barbecue” gathering in Orange County has exploded into an iconic, globally‑recognized weekend event set on the scenic Oak Canyon Ranch.
In This Clip:
• Mike remembers launching the show alongside Grant Peterson with just a flier and 30 days of planning to share their passion for vintage Harleys and Triumphs.
• Mike talks about growing the event organically—adding community‑driven builder showcases, live music, racing, vending, and more while staying true to their DIY roots.
What Makes Born Free Special:
• A relaxed, cell‑service‑free environment where moto‑enthusiasts convene to celebrate creativity and craftsmanship.
• Continual emphasis on builder culture—from grassroots beginnings to expansive invited‑builder programs and fan‑voted “People’s Champ” competitions.
Mark your calendars for next year’s Born-Free Show, where custom bikes, camaraderie, and community thrive under one open sky.
