Glory Daze 2025: Choppers & Bobbers

“Let’s Get Groovy” — Glory Daze 2025…

For 2025, the annual Glory Daze Motorcycle Show returned to the 42-acre Pittsburgh Brewing Company campus, home of event partner Iron City Beer. The former Pittsburgh Glass Works plant has been transformed into an enormous 170,000 square-foot brewery and event space. For “one groovy weekend” each year in late September, the space brims with custom motorcycles of every style and stripe.

“Glory Daze is a creative explosion of motorcycles and good vibes. The annual show features a curated invitational exhibit with artistically crafted vintage and custom bikes from builders both local and throughout North America. Embrace your passion for two wheels, and join us for this one-of-a-kind weekend in the Steel City.”

Show founder Kurt Diserio of Pittsburgh Moto has worked preserve and promote vintage and custom culture in the Pittsburgh area for years.

“Using our diverse creative backgrounds, we established Pittsburgh Moto to document custom bikes and builders from the Greater Pittsburgh area. Our hope is to fuel the local community by using our website and independent magazine as a source that showcases our region’s motorcycle culture.”

Kurt and team hosted the original Glory Daze in 2019 at the historic Carrie Blast Furnaces; since then, the show has grown in size and scope, hosting more than 100 bikes from both local, regional, and North American builders.

This year, we were fortunate enough to have our friend Zane Cook of Z Cook Media (@zcookmedia) shooting for us. Zane is a longtime member of the motorcycle community, and we’re lucky to have him capture the show for us. Thanks, Zane!

Zane took so many shots — over 200 — that we’re dividing up our coverage into general categories. Today is choppers and bobbers, as they made up the majority of the show. That said, stay tuned for trackers, scramblers, cafe racers, drag bikes, and more!

Without further ado, you’ll find Zane’s gallery from the show below. Tell us your favorite in the comments!
